* JerkassWoobie: Walt's list of sins is a more than a few miles long. However, seeing him desperately try to save Hank and fail, his family turn against him, and the phone call with Skyler, can invoke pity for him giving the very human emotion coming from him in response. He also manages to switch between petting the dog and kicking the dog throughout the episode, making viewers go back and forth between pity and disgust towards him.

** In-universe, Skyler and Walt Jr. clearly believe Walt has crossed this line by killing Hank. [[DramaticIrony Naturally]], this is the one crime he's actually ''innocent'' of, though they obviously have less-than-zero reason to trust him at this point.

* TakeThatScrappy: For those that still hate her, Walt gives one to Skyler during his subtle TakingTheHeat speech where he basically voices all the complaints people have towards her since the beginning of the series, namely her bitchiness and nagging. On the other hand, Walt's speech could be interpreted as a subversion, since he intentionally painted himself in a horrible light to deflect any and all blame from Skyler. Some fans even theorized the speech was Creator/VinceGilligan's TakeThat to the fans who endlessly attack Skyler, no matter what she has done throughout the series.
