OK, definitely an enthralling episode, but only if you perform a major suspension of disbelief beforehand.
C'mon, what are the odds that the mass assassination scheme would really work? Consider the possible failings:
(1) The Don, being a selfish bastard, might not have offered the poisoned tequila to EVERY ONE of his associates and goons.
(2) Surely, some goons might have remained indoors for security or doing other goon-ish tasks. (The only workers running away at the end appear to be butlers and bikini-clad "chikas.") This would greatly impeded and maybe even blocked their escape.
(3) It's unlikely that those who drank and got poisoned would all drop at the same time. All it would take is a couple of armed goons to wipe out Gus, Mike and Jesse. (Although it's true that Mike was armed and might have been able to respond, depending on how many goons remained able to fight.)
(4) How come Mike didn't join in the toast? OK, Jesse's an addict so that story made sense. What about Mike? Still, a great episode!
