After Hank's epiphany at the end of the previous episode he quickly makes his excuses and he and Marie head home. In a state of shock he crashes the car; telling Marie he was clearly less well than he thought. Staying home from work he has files brought to him and starts looking for evidence that Walt really is Heisenberg. Meanwhile Jesse is sitting at home wracked with guilt, he decides he doesn't want anything to do with the money so instructs Saul to give half of it to Mike's granddaughter and half to the parents of the boy Todd shot. Saul passes the money to Walt who in turn returns it to Jesse; explain that he too is out of the business. Lydia is not happy about Walt's retirement; clearly Todd isn't as good as Walt as quality has fallen significantly. As Hank seems to be avoiding Walt the later starts to worry and after finding a tracker on his car he confronts Hank.
The flash-forward opening scene which makes it explicit that Walt's business has become public knowledge nicely sets up the final half series suggesting we are about to see the downfall of Walter White. Now that Hank knows about Walter's activities and Walt knows that he knows the tension has risen even more and there is a feeling that nobody will be safe in the upcoming episode. Dean Norris and Bryan Cranston, as Hank and Walt, are great throughout this episode but especially in their final confrontational scene. Aaron Paul is also on top form as he portrays the guilt stricken Jesse. Overall a fine episode that shows you don't need action and mayhem to have a really tense and interesting episode.
