Not a lot, it would seem, but it does raise a bunch of questions, including:
- Has Jesse been crying? If so, what about [or perhaps: what not about]? Those eyes are definitely a little watery, a little red, and more than a little puffy. We’re definitely in his house so he’d be comfortable shedding a few tears here in his [periodic] element.
- What is Walt trying to convince Jesse to do now? That is some seriously persuasive pedagogical body language; hands splayed, palms open [“Trust me”] eyebrows raised, it screams: “Jesse, listen to me: listen, listen, listen. Listen. Trust me. Kill this person for me.“
- Is that one of the black duffle bags loaded with the cash that Walt left with Jesse in season five and a half’s midway finale, or am I imagining that? If so, does this mean that nary a day has passed between the two half-seasons? Is this a flashback then? Surely not. Wasn’t there a three month time lapse? So many questions.
- Other options for what’s in the bag: the head of a vanquished rival; Skyler; the stolen Breaking Bad script; a hilarious joke you haven’t heard yet that ties seamlessly the end of Breaking Bad with a witness protection program and the beginning of Malcolm In The Middle. Nope. That’s definitely not in there because it doesn’t exist.
- Is that a mind-blowingly ominous skull motif on Jesse’s hoody/throw/security blanket? Also, is that a hazmat suit draped casually across the futon in the middle of Walt and Jesse? Of course Jesse has a futon – they’re so convenient.
- Is that a milkshake or a freshly-pressed juice? What flavour milkshake would Jesse order? Strawberry, I’ll bet. Also, two beers? Did Walt and Jesse share those beers last year? I can’t remember. Guess I’ll have to watch it all again before the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad air from August 11, 2013.
