* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A tragic example. Marie's phone call to Skyler and her opening of "Truce?" implies that things have been icy between the sisters in the six months since Hank's death. Interestingly, considering Marie's approach (being the one to ask Skyler "truce?" and ensure her sister lovingly that the DEA is probably watching her because "that's what Hank would do"), it seems possible that it's Skyler who has been willingly distant from Marie, and not the other way around.

* FailedASpotCheck: The Neo-Nazis didn't bother to check the trunk of Walt's car. Kenny doesn't even think twice when Walt parks in front of the clubhouse instead of the spot he indicated him.

Added DiffLines:

* WholePlotReference: The episode has ''many'' parallels to Marty Robbins' song "El Paso", even down to its title. The song is playing in Walt's stolen car at the beginning of the episode.
** The cowboy protagonist of "El Paso" falls in love with a woman named Feleena in El Paso, gets into a gunfight where he kills another cowboy fighting for her love, and flees town. Walt is forced to flee town after a gunfight in the desert where a beloved family member ends up dead.
** The song's protagonist runs to New Mexico, while Walt runs ''from'' New Mexico.
** Even though he knows returning to El Paso will likely end in his death, the cowboy just can't forget Feleena, so he rides back into town on a stolen horse. Walt can't forget his empire and still has a few scores to settle before he dies, so he returns to Albuquerque in a stolen Volvo.
** When he gets back to El Paso, the cowboy is almost instantly shot by a posse, but he gets to kiss Feleena one last time before dying in her arms. Walt is shot and fatally wounded by his own turret gun, but gets to spend a few moments admiring his beloved Blue Sky and the purity of what Jesse cooked before dying in the meth lab.

It's known by both that Jesse collaborated with the DEA, was in their kill list but still living , that's enough provocation


* ContrivedCoincidence: Walter is about to be taken out back and shot by the Neo-Nazis at their hideout, which would screw his whole plan to kill them all with an M60. While they're grabbing him to take him out back, he starts screaming at Jack about Jack's promise to kill Jesse, alleging Jack partnered with Jesse instead. In doing so, Walt hits a MAJOR nerve Jack has (and Walt didn't even know about): his hatred of snitches. Jack is so incensed at the implication he's working with a rat (Jesse), he keeps Walt alive just so he can see Jesse is their slave, not a partner. This, however, buys Walt enough time to grab his keys off the pool table and trigger the M60

nothing remotely close


* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Jack tries to {{invoke|d}} this when Walt is about to kill him, saying Walt won't get his money back if he dies. Walt shoots him anyway, showing he doesn't care about the $68 million Jack took from him anymore, not least because he wouldn't have lived long enough to use it.
-->'''Jack:''' You want your money, right? You wanna know where that is? You pull that trigger, you'll never-- ''[[KilledMidSentence (Walt shoots him in the head)]]''
