* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: When Jesse tells Walt that meeting Tuco at a junkyard isn't the best place because it's better to have these deals in open and public areas. He suggests the "Taco Cabeza" or the mall. Later when Tuco arrives, he also questions the junkyard and asks if the mall was closed.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: In this case it's more "My new gift is [[ConspicuousConsumption wasteful]] and impractical." Skyler is clearly unamused by Marie giving her a white-gold gem-encrusted tiara for her baby daughter. She later tells Walt she plans to return it hoping to get something that the baby can actually use.

* ItsCuban: Hank and Walt smoke cuban cigars on the patio during Skyler's baby shower. This leads to Walt talking about how arbitrary the laws on the drugs are as well as throwing a little shade on Hank's hypocrisy being a [=DEA=] agent and a firm fighter in the War on Drugs but having no qualms in possessing illegal cigars.

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Tuco's henchman who didn't get his face smashed in doesn't emote at all except for a quick non-verbal "Just leave it alone" look to Walt and Jesse. That and his automaticity of calm dragging the body into the SUV make it clear this is far from the first time he's seen Tuco do this.

* GoneHorriblyRight: After all Walt and Jesse's work and close calls, they succeed in bringing Tuco the required amount of meth. Then the ecstatic Tuco in a rage beats his own henchman to a pulp, and Walt and Jesse are reminded of exactly what kind of work they've signed up for.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Tuco, again, on No-Doze after he insinuates Walt and Jesse should respect Tuco more. If the number of punches are counted, Tuco punched No-Doze ''20'' times and within the first 10, bone crunching can be heard.



* PointOfNoReturn: If there was ever a clearer point for Walt and Jesse that they aren't exiting the drug trade easily, it would be seeing Tuco beat No-Doze within an inch of his life for the crime of [[DisproportionateRetribution speaking for him]].

Added DiffLines:

* SuddenDownerEnding: Walt and Jesse manage to successfully steal a barrel of methylamie and make four pounds of meth in Jesse's basement, all while an open house is occuring upstairs. They even manage to get Tuco to buy it, and establish a potentially lucrative partnership with him... And then No-Doze oversteps his boundaries. As such, the last scene of the season sees Walt and Jesse bare witness to Tuco [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating No-Doze within an inch of his life,]] before leaving the pair in the junkyard.
