Jesse's speech feels like an episode of Skins - the writing for his dialogue is so poor and childish that I can't take this episode seriously. It doesn't make sense for his character at all - he was always spiteful but his plan to ruin walter's life is overkill, and all feels more like something Gus would say. Jesse is erratic and acts stupidly, but he's not conniving or particularly malicious - we know this. I think it undoes a lot of the sensitive character building the show had for him in season 2 with Jane. The melodrama and immaturity in this episode really lets it down.
Upon this, the final scene, which is the episode's main draw - is very wacky and ridiculous. The one minute gimmick is cool and creates a lot of tension, but as soon as the brothers start speaking it becomes almost comedic. "Too easy"??? What??!!! I do like the car alarm going off though.
