I loved that ending... it's so totally with Gus' hardened instincts to be able to smell a set up after being practically called to a meet up. It just became obvious to him that Jesse didn't get the job done, and Jesse had drilled to fact that the kid was
poisoned to him. Still, it was a badass and gutsy move on Walt's part.
Enough can't be said about Aaron Paul's acting in the confrontation scene... that was just goddamn incredible. Same league as Cranston; their chemistry (no pun intended) shines brighter than ever in that pinnacle moment... and now they're back in action together. But they're gonna need help.
Which brings me to my prediction for what's gonna have to happen next episode:
They need Mike. I believe the doctor said Mike would need a week to fully recover, and Gus had said that he would need another batch in a week... in the episode preview we see a yellow lab coat hand cuffed to a piece of lab equipment. A few days have already passed since we last saw Mike, so could that week be up? I mean, Jesse has been working up a bond with Mike this whole season, and Mike
is a soldier of fortune-- Jesse and Walt need that soldier. And that's where it ties with the official description for the next episode:
QuoteWalt and Jesse team up on Gus; Walt finds an unexpected ally with Saul's help.
Saul has ties to Mike, so one is only to assume that he
is that unexpected ally... oh Jesus, I can't wait!
