* CouldSayItBut: When Francesca starts to complain about the broken window, Walt offers $1,700 for it to get replaced. She shoots that down, saying it would cost about ''$20,000'' for the glass to be fixed. And right as Walt is in the middle of complaining about the unreasonable price, the penny drops, and he realizes he's being blackmailed. [[FromBadToWorse And then Francesca "rethinks" it, and guesses it's closer to $25,000.]]

Walt proceeds to get into her face... and then waffles.[[note]]Either because he can tell she isn't being intimidated by him, or he's on a time crunch.[[/note]]

* {{Bathos}}: In a little bit of BlackComedy in an otherwise serious episode, as Walt is regrouping with Jesse in the hospital after the failed assassination attempt from last episode, his makeshift bomb's magnets momentarily stick themselves to a metal elevator door while inside Walt's bag, leading to him awkwardly trying to unstick the bag without anyone getting suspicious. Jesse notices this and realizes with incredulity what Walt has done.
-->'''Jesse:''' ''(loud whispering)'' Did you just bring ''a bomb'', into a hospital?!

* CorneredRattlesnake: This episode shows that because of Gus' threatening the lives of Walt and his family and with no way to escape, Walt has stooped to absolutely repugnant moral depths to keep his family alive, poisoning an innocent child, sending his oblivious neighbour into a life-or-death situation, and using an old man as a suicide bomber inside a nursing home. If Gus hadn't given Walt his ultimatum, it's unlikely it would've gotten so bad.

* EvilVersusEvil: What originally started as BlackAndGrayMorality, with Gus as the Black and Walt as the (darker) Gray, clearly turns into full-on Black and Black Morality at the end. Well, Walt didn't intend to kill Brock as we see later, but this proves that he's nearly there.

There's also Hector killing Gus; neither men are at all good, but they hate each other so much that Hector is willing to die to exact his vengeance.
Added DiffLines:
* MortalWoundReveal: Gus calmly walks out of the bombed out nursing home room, seemingly unharmed, only for two nurses to walk up, looking at Gus with expressions of horror, at which point the camera pans around to Gus' left side to show half his face has been blown off.
* NonAnswer: When Skyler sees the news that Gus, whom Hank was investigating under the suspicion of Gus' connection to the drug trade, was killed in a cartel suicide bombing, she immediately calls Walt and demands to know if he had something to do with it. Walt gives ambiguous answers that nonetheless make it completely clear he was involved, saying that they're safe now and that he "won".
