This... oh, this is the culmination of that gigantic ego building up to a fever pitch, leaving nothing but loss and destruction in its wake. The episode is even named after the testosterone-fueled line emitted by that ego in that iconic first scene. Speaking of which, it's honestly not that difficult for me to say that it is one of the greatest opening scenes of any TV show that I can remember. Even in this series, I can't think of any scene taking place before the 18-second main title sequence that is as memorable as this one, mainly because this is the most pure, unadulterated version of Heisenberg we've ever seen. 

A particularly underrated scene I'd also like to talk about is the one where Walt tries to persuade Jesse to stay in the business at the Vamonos Pest shop. We're reminded, once again, that Walt sees Jesse as nothing more than his loyal, obedient servant, and that he thus feels entitled to Jesse's ever-lasting support and dedication to Walt's drug empire. The things Walt says to Jesse in this scene are borderline criminal, even using the low blow of Jesse's past drug addictions to belittle him further. Yet, Jesse still doesn't abandon Walt just yet because he still believes that Walt cares about him. Part of the reason behind this deluded belief of his is Walt's continual praise of his skills in methamphetamine production. It's honestly crazy how loyal Jesse is because anyone else would see right through Walt's bullshit. Even Jesse almost did it after Hank beat him up in Season 3, but he immediately reverted back to Walt's side as soon as Walt told him "Your meth is as good as mine, Jesse", which you just know Walt never believed. The same trick is used in this episode by Walt to keep Jesse under his control.

In the end, though, the best part about this episode, in my opinion, is undoubtedly the conclusion of Mike's story. The scene where he dumps the laptop and all his guns in that little hole in the desert is extremely bittersweet. It reminds me of the Undertaker taking off his gloves, hat, and coat after losing to Roman Reigns in Wrestlemania 33. We're witnessing the retirement of a legend in the business and one of the most likable anti-heroes in all media. It's genuinely really sad; the way he looks at his granddaughter one last time before leaving her forever almost made me tear up (and I never tear up at anything).

If that weren't sad enough, though, the ending of the episode cements Mike as one of the most tragic characters in the show. The final speech he gives where he tears apart Walt's ego is one every viewer has been dying to hear for the last 7 episodes It is, in my opinion, the most satisfying moment in the show (Yes, even more satisfying than a certain psycho's death in the series finale; that's how much I despise Walt). This scene is also where, in my opinion, Walt transforms from an extremely unlikeable douchebag to just a pure evil villain. If him killing Mike for simply bruising his ego isn't enough to make you utterly despise him, then I honestly don't know what will.
