| What else are guns good for? |
Seriously, though -- we know that Walt is going to end up in New Jersey, and he's not coming back until he comes to get his ricin cigarette and his machine gun. What happens to Skyler, Holly, Marie, and Walt Jr. is anyone's guess. Frankly, I wouldn't put it past Marie to use that mysterious untraceable poison against Skyler in revenge for Hank, but maybe I'm being melodramatic. And after such an unrelentingly grim episode (probably the darkest in the whole series). it's pretty clear that the Breaking Bad team is actually going to let Mr. White try to redeem himself.
Walt tried very, very hard to save the day in "Ozymandias" on a few occasions - And it was awful watching a monster like Walt realize that he just had enough human left in him to get his heart broken. He tried, and failed, to save Hank from execution and he tried, and succeeded, to free Skyler from the police by pretending to be even more of a manipulative monster than he really is. After sacrificing himself for his wife and son, and leaving Holly Jr. in the fire engine, it looks like Walt's finally learned how to be a real man from his brother-in-law. Too bad it's too late to save himself and his family.
It looks, then, that in these last two shows, Walt is going to return to ABQ once more to save Jesse from Todd. He'll be taking his ricin with him, too, so I'll bet he takes Marie's advice and kills himself after the mission. What will happen to Skyler and Marie? I can't say for sure, but I worry that Marie is just enough of a loose cannon to take some serious revenge against her sister. She loves the kids too much to hurt them, but I worry that the blood isn't done flowing after Hank.
