Teasing as much was like Vince was saying "I could, but I won't."

The episode was excellent in its ability to evoke pathos. I'm disappointed that they didn't show Gomie's death, as I feel that his character deserved the act of witness.
And Walt does need to rescue Jessie, but doing should grant him no redemption or clemency, although I'm sure the audience will be willing to grant it.
On another note, Jr's reaction struck me as a railroad spike in the coffin of Skyler's tactical stupidity. She's not just a coward, but a fool, like her husband.
