* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Lined up in a row on Walt's counter: bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, apple.

None

Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: Discussed. The Arms Dealer that Walt buys his gun from informs him that if Walt only plans on using the firearm in legitimate self-defense (as he insists is the case), he'd be much better off purchasing it legally from a gun store so as not to run the risk of being caught with a defaced firearm in case he ever does have to use it.

Added DiffLines:

* StimulantSpeedtalk: Badger and Skinny Pete get back on meth at Jesse's insistence, and immediately start rambling on about depictions of zombies in video games, to the point that they're left too high to notice that Jesse is clearly in the middle of a mental breakdown.

* BerserkButton: Mike seems to have a berserk button when it comes to disloyalty, revealed when Walt [[ManipulativeBastard tries to turn Mike against Gus]], fishing for a way to get in a room with their ruthless boss so that Walt can kill him. Mike manages to calmly listen to the entire spiel, but afterwards he nonetheless beats Walt up for even suggesting such a thing.



* DidntSeeThatComing: For the past few epiodes, Skyler has been adamant to both Walter and Saul Goodman that buying the car wash Walt used to work at would be a significantly better and less suspicious investment than buying a random Lazer Tag building, since Walter has much more connection to the former. She clearly never suspected that Bogdan would be resentful of Walter quitting his job without warning, and so has no counteroffers when he insists on being paid between 10 to 20 ''million'' dollars out of spite for what happened.

* DownerEnding: After failing to keep his party going any longer, Jesse (alone in his house for the first time in days) proceeds to ''blast'' music on his stereo and sit next to one of the speakers. And as [[TheWikiRule the wiki]] puts it:
