** Hank himself after Walt refuses to have Skyler bring Junior and Holly back to the Schraders' residence, having unknowingly hit Walt's InferioritySuperiorityComplex that's been present long before Walt's descent into villainy. He looks genuinely afraid even though he'd moments before given Walt a hard right hook and outmuscled him while listing the latter's various crimes.

* HonorBeforeReason: Walt's Heisenberg persona first reveals itself to Hank when he refuses to let Hank take his children away again...after Hank briefly seems to consider going slightly more lenient on his brother-in-law.



** Mitigated slightly by the next couple of episodes when at worst, all Walt does is discredit Hank's testimony and is disgusted at the mere thought of killing a family member.



-->'''JESSE:''' You doing what you did, offing Mike's guys. If he was out there, you'd have to look after your shoulder the rest of your life and that's not how you do things, so I think he's dead and I think you know that.
-->'''WALT:''' I don't know that. I don't! Listen to me. I did not kill Mike. The last time that I saw him, he had his bag -- the one that I brought him. And he got in his car and drove away. For all I know he is alive and well. And if...if he does come back and he doesn't understand why I had to do what I did, well then that's on me. Jesse. I need you to believe me. It's not true, it's just not.
-->'''JESSE:''' So he's out there. He's okay.
-->'''WALT:''' Yes. Mike is fine, wherever he is. We both know that he can take care of himself. And he's certainly capable to provide for his own family. Jesse. I need you to believe me.
-->'''JESSE: Yeah. Like you said. He's alive.'''

*** It sadly applies to his lingering pride too. During the ending scene, Walt coldly tells Hank he will not be surrendering his children back to the Schrader house when the latter orders him to after hearing him out about his cancer returning. And this is before he warns Hank to "tread lightly".

* JerkassHasAPoint: Hank furiously growling that Walt doesn't give a shit about family, while not exactly the case, is not without merit. The entire TraumaCongaLine Hank experienced in Season 3 alone, with Marco and Leonel Salamanca at the top of the list, on the count of Walt's choices no doubt rendered any potential sympathies null.

* DisappointedInYou: Hank towards Walt, [[{{Understatement}} to put it mildly]]. His tone when telling Walt he doesn't know who he's talking to reeks of lingering desperation to not lose the (admittedly insensitive) harmless image he's had of his brother-in-law up to now is just as equally proportioned to chastising Walt for his criminal acts.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Badger's ''Franchise/StarTrek'' script may foreshadow some of the events of the final season. Badger claims that the crew of the Enterprise are having a pie-eating contest, and that it is down to just three: Kirk (Hank), Spock (Walter) and Chekhov (Jack). Kirk is the first to leave, foreshadowing Hank's death in "[[Recap/BreakingBadS5E14Ozymandias Ozymandias]]". Chekhov has Scotty (Todd) helping him, but when Uhura (Lydia) walks in, Scotty accidentally gets Chekhov killed, leaving Spock as the winner. If Todd hadn't become attracted to Lydia, Walter likely wouldn't have killed Jack and his gang, as they had to keep Jesse alive in order to keep making the meth, prompting Walt to go after them.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Walt's deriding of Jesse when [[Recap/BreakingBadS5E7SayMyName the latter refused to stay cooking with him]] the younger man's guilt over his bad deeds reach an all-time high with him desiring to give away all his [[TitleDrop blood money]] to the Sharps and Kaylee. When Saul and Walt tell him why that won't work and that he needs to forget about them just exacerbates Jesse's heartache to the point that he starts tossing his five million all over town just to alleviate his sorrow.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: In-Universe for a certain DEA ASAC. The montage of Hank going through all of the evidence that indicates Walter as a drug lord is a successfully agonizing process for him, especially when he sees the resemblance from the Heisenberg doodle to his in-law and moments before when he actually analyzes the security footage of Walt and Jesse stealing the methylamine barrel.



* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jesse doesn't want his cut of the money and so he decides to give it away to Drew Sharp's parents and Kaylee Erhmantraut. As Saul points out, however, this plan is doomed from the start: Drew's parents only want closure, not money, so dropping 2.5 million dollars on their doorstep isn't going to help anyone, and Kaylee is being monitored now that Mike's gone, so any money that tries to get to her isn't getting there (Saul also reveals that Mike's two previous attempts to get her money have failed). Jesse is forced to throw the money out his car windows since he can't actually get it to the people he wants.

Jesse is sleeping in his car when a man asks him for spare change. In a moment of realization, he gives the man a stack of cash from his $5 million and then drives through neighborhoods around Albuquerque, tossing stacks from his car onto people's yards.
