I thought there was some question about Walt, Jr's, paternity. Are we going to find out why Walter left that company he had formed with his friend who got rich off it while he went to work as a chemistry teacher?
Will Walt's brother-in-law catch Gus? Will Gus kill him?
Will it turn out that my Shane analogy was right, that the show is about sweet, innocent Brandon de Wilde-like Jesse learning to be more careful about what father figure he latches onto?
Skyler told her former employer that she gave him the money. In next week's episode, the promo already showed that the guy tells her he can't take money. If he doesn't take the money, he goes to prison. Is he going to stay out prison by squealing on Skyler which would expose Walt's whole operation?
Will the series end with everyone being killed, everyone being arrested, some people being killed and some people being arrested, with Walt being killed, with Walt killing everyone, with Walt and Walt, Jr., fleeing the country, with everyone being arrested or killed but Walt being left alive and unsuspected of wrong-doing, like the end of The Talented Mr Ripley? Will Walt be arrested or killed for some crime he committed in an early episode that we had almost forgotten about?
Maybe it will be like the end of Giant. We see Jesse as an old man, running his massive drug empire, thinking back to his days with Mr White, although Giant was set in the distant past so they just showed James Dean in what was then the present day. If they did that with this show, we'd have to see Jesse in the future.
Maybe Jesse will kill Walter in a sort of Oedipal conflict, like when he finds out Mr White let his girlfriend die.
Maybe Jesse's Oedipal conflict will be with Mike. Maybe Jesse is Brandon de Wilde, Mike is Alan Ladd and Walter is Van Heflin.
"Mike! You hit him with your gun! I hate you!"
