I think Saul is going to have a huge part with the end of this series. I don't know how, but I just feel like he's going to end up with everything.
Well remember he is turning 52 in the flash forward but that's still a few months off right?
In the pilot episode (Season 1 Episode 1) Skyler makes Walt breakfast for his 50th birthday and arranges the bacon into a "50". Pretty sure the flash forward scene is a reference to that.
Also, the fourth episode of this season is titled "Fifty-One," so I'm assuming that will be Walt's 51st birthday. So the flash-forward is still over a year ahead of where we are now, if my guess is accurate.
I think one possibility is at the end Hank actually helps or enables Walt and his family to get away or go into hiding. Hasn't Skylar been giving her sister a large amount of money to help them put? Walt could use that to guilt Hank into helping them or threaten to tell the feds that Hank knew he was taking drug money. Just a big guess.
Very good episode. Looking forward to see how it progresses. Skyler's character has become really awkward. I'm hoping she trips on some carpet and joins Ted in the hospital. Then Walt Jr. takes them both out.
If Skyler ended up in a barrel of hydroflouric acid I wouldn't miss her too much.
I think Hank turns at some point in this season. Don't know why, I just see him breaking.
Did anyone catch the little preview for next week's episode where it appears that Marie confronts Walt? That could get interesting, and I think Marie's kleptomania is going to reappear in some form.
