Probably one of my least favorite episodes of the entire series. Pacing felt rushed to me even at 75 minutes. But they went for the "try to please everybody" style ending, and they actually pulled it off.
Yeah, I don't know about least favorite but it wasn't a top 10 at all. I was a bit disappointed in a few things but they had a lot to accomplish in one episode.

The automatic gun from the trunk exactly to where it needed to be was campy. Also, pure luck that they even brought Jesse into the room for saving.

I wanted Walt to kill the Gray Matter folks just because. Guess that turned out ok w/the money. Having the 2 stooges shine their lights on them was brilliant.

Still don't know why Walt killed Lydia. What did she do to deserve that? They had a good partnership that ended on a high note. Was she the ersatz woman killing for Skyler?
