Snow 1,800 Posted September 16, 2013 So I gave the last episode some thought and formed a theory. Feel free to disagree or add something, and be wary that it's filled with spoilers, so read ahead at your own risk.In the beginning flash-forward, Walt is seen with an M60 and taking the ricin from his house, which is noteably deserted and "Heisenberg" is spray painted on the wall, with kids skateboarding in his pool in the backyard. Now, given the events of the last episode (Hank and Gomez's deaths), it's clear that Walt will want revenge for what they've done, and he joins up with the DEA to capture (or kill, given his loadout) Jack's crack squad of drug dealers and hitmen. Jesse is now a cook slave, with salt in his already deep wound with the image of Andrea and Brock at the far end of the cooking lab. Jesse's death is promised after he's done cooking for them, and with severe consequences if he doesn't. Now, Jesse isn't able to replicate the Heisenberg formula to their liking, so they call on the real deal, and with a hefty sum of his money returned as a payment. They don't kill Jesse *yet* since they know full well Heisenberg either works with Jesse, or not at all. Walt slips the ricin into Jack's food or drink, frees Jesse, and in the distraction of Jack's death, Walt either goes to retrieve his M60 or escape with Jesse, depending on what the DEA told him to do. There was another theory at the beginning episodes where Walt is shown wearing a wire, which would add a little weight to the "capture" deal. Walt discusses cooking with them, and eventually progresses to small-talk about their profession or past hits. The DEA acts based on this evidence and captures Jack's squad, and is met with assault fire as a greeting. The DEA is decimated as well as Jack's squad, but since there is less of Jack's squad then there is the DEA, they probably won't kill too many. Now that addition is a bit of a stretch, I know, since it goes off of things we know little about. But in the event that Jesse isn't killed after the cook or Walt frees him, Jesse comes full circle and is in the predicament that Walt was in. He has to secure Andrea and Brock's future, by once again, cooking meth. I would really love an ending like this because it's the one thing you least think would happen to Jesse.Anyways, take this how you will, and if you just spoiled yourself, not my fault, I warned you. 1 Lalalablah reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayReaper 27 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I don't think Walt is going to side with the DEA in the way you put it. I think they'd find it a bit odd that Hank's car wash owning brother in-law knows so much about the drug-lords he was looking in to, to them Walt is just an average civilian. I also don't think it's Walt's nature to "team up" with anyone, he might tip them off, but to me Walt's always been a lone wolf. I do agree with you that Walt is going to free Jesse however. I think that after last night's episode, Walt realized that his relationship with his family was doomed, which is why he distanced himself from her on the phone so harshly when clearly he was very upset about losing them. That being said I think Walt really thinks of Jesse like a son and is going to realize Jesse is the only person left that might be able to accept him for who he has become, and since his own family is in ruin, he'll go to save Jesse. I think Walt is going to sneak into their lab and kill the little asspie looking blonde haired firetruck (I forgot his name) and Uncle Jack is going to seek revenge by burning Walt's house down with his family still inside. Which brings us to our flash forward/finale and why his house is firetrucked up, but now it's Walt's turn. I think there is a solid mutual agreement among fans that Walt has to die at the end, he's the tragic anti-hero, it's been his fate all along. But i think that's too cliche for Vince Gilligan. I think Walt is going to end up being the only one left, I think his family is going to go down, I think Jesse is going down, and I think Jack's crew is going down too. WaIt will have his empire at the end, but at the cost of everyone he started it for in the first place. The last scene should then show Walt with all of the barrels of money behind him as he sits on his throne, Jack's crew slaughtered in front of him, as we see him pull out the ricin cigarette and put it in his mouth while the screen turns to black... That's my theory anyway, Breaking Bad needs to end pretty firetrucking dark so i can forget about the fluffy fairytale that Dexter has turned into, lol.

I completely agree with the end, I think he is going to kill himself with the ricin too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The DEA would know about it because Walt Jr called the cops and brought agents to the house. Clearly they're going to tell the story of why a happy and loving husband allegedly pulled a knife on his wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
