From the BB Wiki, Lambert is the maiden name for Skyler and Marie.

So, they probably finalized the divorce, remarried and he took her name.

Nice catch.

He probably took it as his new name to be ironic.

So they’re both called “Skyler” now? That’s going to cause confusion.

Just an ever so slight hijack… [here is a list of deceased characters](http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Deceased_characters)… I had to laugh when I went to page 2.

There is for me. The bottom row should have 4 people. The middle two being Gaff and No-Doze. There should be a \<1..2\> thing under them that you can click on.

It’s there. It lists the RV as ‘deceased.’

Also, [here is the list of deaths by season (1-4, a total of 232)](http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_deaths_on_Breaking_Bad), AND the party responsible for those deaths…there was some disagreement up-thread who was responsible for some of those deaths.

Should have added the Aztec and the numerous windshields on it, along with the 737 and the other plane.

Those weren’t characters. The RV was. I was actually sad when it got destroyed.

Ok…dismiss the planes, but there was alot of action in and around that Aztec as well. I was sad when it got destroyed as well.

Hmm? Walt is still driving the Aztec (well, not in the flash forward). In the immortal words of Mike, “You’re gonna want to get your car fixed.”

No, he’s not. The Aztec was totaled when Walt crashed it into a truck while trying to avoid taking Hank to the laundry. The car we’ve seen Walt driving since then has been a small ugly white hatchback.

Whoa. I don’t know how I missed that. I could have sworn he was in the Aztec when he called his neighbor to go into his house. I must have mentally filled in the Aztec.

I know, but do they routinely order BACON and then abandon it? I mean **BACON**. It’s the food vegans would eat if they could get away with it.

Didn’t I read that the dispute has just been resolved? Or were there two disputes?
