I was actually going to add that to the same post, but it seems less likely/plausible. Doesn't seem like he'd be able to judge purity level by a sight test. And for all he knows, the cooks could have improved - he did teach Todd in the first place.
What a freaking show and episode. Between the phone call and the confession tape Bryan Cranston deserves every award he's eligible for.
I stood up during the knife fight scene. I for sure thought Skylar or Flynn was going to fall on the knife.
Maybe somehow he will come across it. Would seem strange for Lydia/Saul to call him though. Lydia wouldn't have a reason if things are going smoothly, and Saul has said repeatedly there is zero contact after the extraction. Walt might call somebody though if he hears about it and confirm if it is his recipe or not. Hard to imagine Jesse living a long time. Jesse really only needs to live long enough for Todd to learn the cook himself.
Seems like Jesse is now Walt in season 4. Todd is his Gale and Jack is Gus. Now where does that leave Walt? Salamanca? Big time mob leader now done only left thing to do is to get revenge on the man who killed his family.
I'd put future Lydia/Walt communication at a 99% chance. It doesn't seem like her character re-surfacing (which it will) would serve any purpose if it didn't include contact with Walt.
Well, she's still be involved. I expect them to see each other, but don't know the reason for her to initiate contact. Doesn't mean it won't happen though (Jesse's death being an obvious potential reasoning). Will be interesting to see what happens.
I agree with the poster above. Lydia has no incentive to contact Walt. How could she anyway? He's gone. One other thing using the ricin, a major plot device, on Lydia would seem like such a downer. I'm thinking its intended for either Jesse or Walt.
Is Marie going to die too? I mean Jack goes to her home looking for the tape... or maybe they just take her and keep her hostage indefinitely. Maybe that's what prompts Walt to come back.
For clarification - thats just how Walt see's it. As usual, his ego forces him to neglect his own fault for things. Walt's the one who called the Nazi's and gave them the coordinates. Heck, if Walt had never began to make meth in the first place, Hank would still be alive & Walt would still have his family. He might be in considerable debt, but he'd be much better off.
No way the ricin is for himself. There are much cleaner, easier ways to go than ricin. Also absolutely do not get the people who think that Walt at this point is going to help Jesse or attempt to break him out. Let's go over a few things to me: 1. Walt can't beat the Nazis by himself, not even with some super gun, which he almost certainly has no clue how to actually use. People act like he's somehow going to go Rambo on the Nazis, and to me that's just silly. 2. I have utterly, utterly no idea why people think that Walt is going to help Jesse at all.
When Todd is taking Jesse out of his hole, he starts yelling that he's told them everything and to check the type and he told them where it is already.
Why wait so long? I guess we don't know for the certain what time of the year it is and how much longer until Walt's B-Day. We do know he will be gone long enough to grow a decent head of hair. We don't, but we do know Jesse spilled the beans to Todd about the tape. You have to figure they will go after it.
Yeah, if he was going to have a change of heart, it would have happened in letting Jesse live last episode, hoping he could use Jesse again to get back at Jack. Between Jesse's threat, his being a rat, and now resulting in Hank's death has ruined Jesse in Walt's eyes, much the way Walt's poisoning Brock did to Jesse's opinion of Walt.
If he'd have just accepted: The treatments paid by his friends. Their seemingly long-standing job offer for him to come back. I can understand why he accepted neither, especially working underneath his former partners, but he ruined his life by constantly needing to fuel his arrogance. Heck, if he had just destroyed that book (or even torn out the page signed by Gale), he'd have everything.
