* Regardless of what side you're cheering for, it's hard not to see Walt and Jesse's entire interaction as [[spoiler: Hank is arresting Walt]]as one of these.

[[spoiler: Jesse spitting on Walt, along with the ensuing scuffle between the two just drives the point home that the bond between our two protagonists has been totally and irrevocably destroyed.]]
