This episode's theme is innocence and the color pink represents it- Holly's clothes are pink. Holly and Jane both had rolled up towels placed behind them while laying on their side. Jane wore pink lipstick. They show Jane's pink bedspread when Donald is picking out her forever-outfit- there's a pink teddy bear and a girl falling on the mural in her room as well which represents the fall from innocence- Jane's death, the passengers falling from the planes and more specifically the child who played with the bear while relating it to Walt's family and even Jesse's soft spot for children. The teddy bear relates to Jesse's actions involving Jane too. You could say Jane was originally innocent when she first met Jesse judging strictly off her 18th month chip. In the beginning of 'Phoenix' there is a weathered pink teddy bear laying lifeless on the ground outside in that same episode Walt turns down his daughter's birth for instead a deal with Gus- trading and leaving behind the innocence of his newborn for supplying more substance and even destroying the innocence of people's lives like Jesse's. Also Ted was there for her birth instead of Walt. Walt is even watching a nature program about a mother elephant & her calf as Skyler sings a lullaby to Holly in her room. When Jane is on the phone with Walt she says: "do right by Jesse or I will burn you to the ground". I think of a phoenix rising from the ashes a part of Heisenberg representing the phoenix when he let Jane die something snapped, a new side of him was revealed- a darker evil arose because Jane was not an immediate threat to Walt & Jesse unlike with others in previous cases. In the very beginning of the season Walt said he needed $737k for his family while the sound of a plane flew over Jesse and him in the junkyard. The plane that crashed was a boeing 737. (BB writers organically wrote the story as the show went along) Walt visiting the crack house made him aware of the impact he's making and what his actions are fueling and the substance abuse is even linked to Jane's father Donald crashing the planes. (There was a real life air traffic controller by the name of Walter White who was responsible for crashing two planes into each other- one of the planes was headed from Mexico) In an interview with Vince when asked about the significance of the two–faced bear's eyeball he said it represents the all–seeing eye of God. I believe this series is about self-deception, to which everyone has a propensity. The salmon–pink sweater confirms that Walt is directly correlated to it all in one way or another.
