It shows that he is willing to just plain ol' screw over, without even trying to manipulate, the guy who has always had his back
I'd say it's the other way around, Walt has kept Jesse alive on plenty of occasions. If Jesse hadn't been such a junkie screw up there wouldn't have been the problems with Gus in the first place.

At least some of them know who he is. The guy that Mike went to visit in prison was the guy who was running the laundry, he would certainly be able to identify Walt and Jesse. Also they could implicate Lydia who would probably take a deal if caught, she knows a lot now, she probably knows where the pest control place is, their faces, etc. Walt would probably rather take out the 9 others than kill Lydia and his future source of Methylamine.

Does anyone else think something is going to happen between Jesse and Skylar? It seems strange that they have gone from zero contact in a few seasons, to meeting each other twice in the last two episodes (in incredibly awkward fashion I might add).
I had the exact same thought when they were in the car wash and Skylar looked back at Jesse.
Wow! That scene in the desert was amazing! I doubt that's how real drug lords make important deals but the hollywood way likely makes for better TV. And why does everybody in New Mexico wear a Jacket?
Looked like Hank could have possibly discovered something in the photos he was looking at during the DEA conference meeting. The music score or whatever it's called took a chilling tone and then seized up when Hank's boss got his attention.
So as per the seasons opening scene, we knew Walter was on the run. We just didn't know from who. I think things are getting way too sloppy and Hank and the DEA will figure it out soon enough. I'm sure Walter will find a way to upset his new employers as well.
Great episode. Sad to see Mike go. As a fan of the show it would be cool to see Gus and Mike again...in signature Breaking Bad form.

I noticed that too, it was when he was looking at the picture of Mike in the coffee shop, the place where Mike met Lydia.
It's funny how the writers can take a character like Mike and make viewers sympathetic to him. In the context of the story, it is safe to assume that Mike murdered people for money and for self-preservation along the way, just as Walt has.
I loved the image of Walt marching in an angry fashion back to Mike's car to shoot him. The episode had a "Fargo" kind of feel to it. Dark, but funny.

Also I assume they found the deposit box Mike left for the granddaughter? That's sort of a downer, since saving money for her was the only reason he stayed in the business this long. I hope Walt steps up and gives her a bit of money, but I doubt it considering his stance against legacy costs.
I am going to guess they didn't since they needed the lawyer to flip and give Mike up. If they found the box for his granddaughter then they would have found the card that was left for her, which I am assuming is from Mike. Also her box was not in the regular rotation so it would not have been one of the open ones when the lawyer got caught.

No. They said they got it. Something alone the lines of, "twice now, he's lost all his savings."
Walt's ego wanted knowledge they've heard of him. I bought it.
I bought that Walt would have tried a line like that, but there's no way the other cartel guy goes for it. The ego and machismo the must run through a guy to get to the top of a drug gang, he doesn't give in to a "Say my name" line without a vice squeezing his apples.
Walt racing across the screen was hilarious. I literally laughed out loud and him walking sheepishly out of frame right, then screaming right back in after Mike.. until I was like, oh crap, Walk whatcha doing brother! Oh no... no no no no.
