I was surprised by Jesse outsmarting Walt, but was not disappointed by it. I liked it, actually!! Walt's money... that's the one way to get him to slip up. That and he cares about Jesse and does not want him hurt or dead. Plus, all the times he called Jesse an idiot and thought he was just some stupid street kid... well, Walt kind of deserved it!!
I think it is the next stage in Walt's development as the kingpin... growth from the moment "He won" at the end of S4, decay which is currently ongoing, and transformation, which is coming soon.
Sound familiar?
As soon as Walt started saying "I needed you on my side..." and started listing who he killed, I knew they weren't on site with the money.
I, too, was waiting for something to happen to Marie at the end of the phone conversation, but more like the house blowing up.
I was thinking the "shot from nowhere" would come when Jesse finally realized Walt was in custody, and he had that half smile on his face. *BLAMMO!*
I thought Gomez would get it before the end of the episode, since the actor is on the "death couch" on Talking Bad. I really think...and want...the final episode to be Walt vs Hank. The perpetually bad vs the perpetually good.
Finally, Lydia HAS to go. Preferably messily. I will be disappointed if this doesn't happen.

You would have to ask a better science mind than me for that
I would assume Todd, since he has that ringtone. SCIENCE
While I like the theory of Marie doing that, Heisenberg was written in yellow. (I believe) Marie would have used purple.

Is Hank perpetually good, with his overt willingness to go way past the bounds of his actual job?
Me too. My idea now (with no evidence supporting it) is that the Nazis take Walt and force him to cook for them/Lydia, putting him in almost the same place that he was in with Gus. Walt uses Saul's disappearer guy to get away after Skylar finds out he is cooking again, goes to blow the whistle on the whole thing, and is murdered by the Nazis (or Todd). Later, Walt returns when he finds out that the Nazis now have Jesse and are forcing him to cook in Walt's place. Walt goes in guns blazing to try to save Jesse as a final act of redemption, but I think he will fail.
Well that was quite an ending. I think swore at the screen when it went black.
I know this has probably been answered in this thread but I can't remember: has it been established how much time there is between the end of this episode and the flash forward in the season opener?

Interesting look at the chronology (loosely) by noting the transformations in each character's life over this span:
'After the Year You've Had': The Glaring Flaw in the 'Breaking Bad' Chronology - Richard Lawson - The Atlantic Wire

I think flashforwards will probably be in the 2nd to last episode, and the last episode will be after them. So the next one will be about Walt's disappearance. I'm guessing a main character gets cleared from the picture as well.
A few of you have said Jesse outsmarted Walt. I disagree. Jesse stumbled into a situation that Walt couldn't have conceived. I give full credit to Hank for how they "nabbed" Walt. The interesting thing here is that, of all the changes between all the characters, Jesse has remained the same. He is still too stupid and naive to realize when he is being used. The irony here is that the "bad guy", Walt, cares about Jesse and the "good guy", Hank, doesn't (Hank has admitted such when he didn't care if Jesse got killed in the public square as long as he got Walt).
Agreed on all counts. I was mostly disappointed with Walt not only leading them right to the money without taking even one step to make sure he was at the hiding place, and then confessing a ton of his crimes on the phone call to Jessie, which I assumed was wiretapped, but now I am not so sure.
Walt cares so much about Jesse, who is "like family," when he talks to the Nazi about murdering him, he sounds like he is putting down the family dog.
I guess Saul's Old Yeller analogy was spot on at least for how Walt feels about Jesse.
