So…the beginning of the end? I’m thinking Jesse kills him next week and Hank is at square 1. 6 more episodes left this season and an extended last season coming up. It seems to me there’s to much time left for Hank to make the connection just yet. However, I think he will come back to the Chellenger conversation with Jr when he starts figuring Walt into the equation (as well as the missing lab equipment from S1).
Also, I think too much is just beginning to happen for him to be on the run for a full season and half.
So, the question is, what will happen with Gus dead? Will Walt handle distribution? Can Mike take care of it? They’re in the middle of a (cold) war, it’s certainly not going to take care of itself like a well oiled machine. Someone needs to be in charge and we (the viewers) really have no idea what happens to it after it gets put into the tubs and Victor/Tyrus rolls it away. With no Gus, it might just pile up at the top of the stairs.
Also, if Gus is dead, what will Mike do? I’m guessing his loyalty will switch to Walt and Jesse. He’s a protector and I think he’s going to protect whomever pays him. Hell, I think he’d move over to the Cartel if they gave him enough.
Lastly, he told Jesse his loyalty may be to the wrong person. Was he suggesting that he was loyal to Walt and shouldn’t be or that he was loyal to Gus and shouldn’t be. Kind of a big difference.
