If last week's season premiere of Breaking Bad showed us Walter White at his most egotistical (We're done when I say we're done...), then "Madrigal" depicted the new king at his calmest and his most confident.
His most Gus Fring-like.
There was no panic in Walt as he manipulated Jesse with the Ricin cigarette placement, no concern when Mike initially turned down his business offer, no celebration when Mike later changed his mind. Walt even received that news and took it in expected stride while washing the dishes, the same kind of setting and reaction we so often saw out of a certain dead chicken man.

Jay and Troyzan recognize the threat of imminent Pagonging by the women, but several wise moves keep them divided.
