SPOILER ALERT
If you will remember that in an earlier blog I did predict that Walt would kill Mike. I missed the events leading to it and the method, but I did get that right, so maybe I will be on track with a few more ideas/predictions:
So Hank has his first hint on Walt. We knew this was coming for the past five years. I find the copy of Leaves of Grass from Gail lying on the back of the toilet a little sloppy, but I can see it being overlooked. We know from how quick Hank zeroed in on Gus that he is a really smart cop and it won't take him long to piece it all together. The random "gambling winnings", the car purchases, the way Skylar is acting (hiding the kids), the random connection between Jesse and Walt, even going back to the incident with Jesse's car and the Tuco killing/Walt being found wandering in the road. Of course the whole notion of Walt being a drug kingpin is ludicrous, that is the point of the whole show, so it will take him some time to come around. Then he will check the surveillance tape of his office and he will know. But there are several problems between him realizing this and throwing Walt in the back of a squad car. First, he needs real evidence, not just scribbles in a book. If Walt is really "out" (and who knows if he is), there wouldn't be much anymore. Unless he tailed him to the storage locker where the money is. There are no more local people to even trail, they are all out like Jesse or they are dead. He won't get any help with it either. Second, there is still the same reason why Skylar doesn't tell, it would ruin the family. Third, and this might very well be the biggest factor, it would ruin his career. Even if he brought Hank in himself, it would be impossible for the DEA to believe that this meth mastermind was running a 100 million dollar drug cartel for a year without his brother in law in charge of the DEA running protection for him. They fired Hank's boss because he ate a few dinners at Gus's house. Imagine what would happen to Hank? I think Hank would be forever labeled a "dirty cop", and he knows that is a reputation that stays forever.
So here are some predictions:
When Hank comes around, he has a "get out of town by sundown" talk with Walt. Basically telling him that everyone will be better off if he leaves. That is why Walt is driving a vehicle with Vermont plates in the "preview scene".
Walt is really "out", but he comes back in it because something happens. Maybe when he moves away, he really has nothing left, so he starts back in the business.
Lydia's role is not over. If real trouble starts again for Walt, she will somehow be behind it.
Something is going to happen to that gigantic pile of money in the storage unit.
Somebody is going to get that ricin poison....I was close about it still being a factor. Walt is keeping it handy.
Something is going on with the cancer tests. This show doesn't show random scenes for no reason. We NEVER saw the a confirmation of the fourth season test results, it cut from the waiting room to Walt having dinner and saying everything was ok. Now in this episode we got another test, with no disclosure of the outcome.
Maybe, Walt will redeem himself in the end, by saving Jesse and Skylar, and taking the whole thing down someway were everybody else thinks he was a great man. Or maybe he kills half the cast! Guess we will just have to wait until next year. Anyway, I am ready for The Walking Dead to start again, this kind of thinking is wearing me out!
