Yeah, he had a recorder in Hanks office.

Maybe I'm just getting it all confused. But the point is, he goes back home and the place is boarded up with kids skating in his pool. Those glasses are prison glasses.

And his "friends" are good at getting people out of jail.

Just watched it. Holy shit.

I really hope Walt does save Jesse... But idk. Walt is definitely going to want to kill Jack for killing Hank. If Jesse isn't dead by.then, which I guess he won't be, Walt will either kill Jesse for working with Hank and leading him there.... Or he'll let Jesse live... But then I wonder if Jesse would kill Walt. I doubt Jesse is gonna be cool with Walt, especially after Walt told him about Jane.

The ricin kinda throws things off. I assume it's for Walt's suicide.

I don'y buy Walt's suicide,he doesn't seem the type... I'd guess it's part of a plan to kill someone,probably Jack.. But ya never know as this show can surprise you week after week.

It's just amazing how clean the operation was, out of sheer paranoia to leave no tracks. And now everything has gotten incredibly sloppy.

I'm not really sold on the suicide either. But if Walt succeeds in killing Jack, what else is there for Walt? His family is gone. If he goes back, he'll get arrested.... hmm. Actually maybe that's a possibility too. He turns himself in for Hank. In an scenario, I'm sure he'll leave his family some money. Then again, who knows.

Breaking Bad is known for foreshadowing.... Any significance to this?

What about Walt makes contact with the family and they all leave with a new identity?? Give the car wash to Marie?

Ehh... After what happened, i don't think Walt's family [or at least Skyler] wants anything to do with Walt.

And I change my mind about Walt potentially saving jesse. As far as Walt knows, Jesse is dead. Jack said they'll kill him once they get their info. So I think when Walt goes to kill jack [assuming that's what happens] he'll discover Jesse is still alive. At which point he'll either kill Jesse himself, or keep Jesse alive and then Jesse kills Walt. hahahaha there's like a million possibilities.

A couple things here:

Walt left with the guy who gives you a knew identity, but then the previews show him talking to Saul.

Opening episode he was driving a car with New Hampshire plates. I'm guessing Walt finds some of the blue out where he is, and knows they didn't kill Jesse. My new finale guess is that he comes to save Jesse.

After the phone call...I think Skyler knows that Walter is not coming back and she is heartbroken by it. She might be willing to take him back after she gets Holly back, but Walter Jr is the real problem...he will never forgive either of his parents over this.

There's a juicy ending....Father vs Son.

As far as Jesse goes....there is a moment when Walt is on the ground crying over Hank when we see Todd lean over him. The camera cuts back to Jack, but I find it strange that suddenly Todd stops Jack from killing Jesse.

Jesse is like a son to Walt and after watching Hank killed....he couldn't handle Jesse dead too....no matter how sour things got. Todd then keeps Jesse alive by having him cook.

Of course Jesse will not be as forgiving towards Walt and could see this move getting Walt killed if he does go after Jesse.

All the same...Jesse killing Walt still seems to obvious for a show that has been fantastic at surprising me.

Walt said "you still owe me" and gave up Jesse under the car. Really don't think he has any second thoughts about Jesse going down now.

My guess is Walt goes into hiding, and his"unfinished business" is coming back for his money and to kill the entire Nazi gang.

So, two more episodes left, correct? Is the finale going to be an extended episode?

Yes, two more left. According to my Directv guide, both of them are 75 minutes long.

Ahhh, even if you're wrong, I like where you went with this.

One thing that makes me think my idea isn't a good one is the timeline. How long is it from when he leaves to when he comes back? And why the **** wasn't the house sold?

.

I just watched the part again and it didn't seem like there was any communication between Walt and Todd. I think Todd just stepped in so he can have Jesse help him cook.

And I think if Walt didn't want to see Jesse dead, he wouldn't have said he found Jesse. Then nod when Jack asked "good to go?" to kill Jesse. Then let Jesse get dragged off after he told him about Jane.

Maybe Walt changes his mind after he finds out Jesse isn't dead. But at that moment, it seemed like Walt wanted Jesse dead.
