Speculation based on the same is also unboxed. If the Talking Bad show happens to reveal something important (like if they say something that implies a character will necessarily be alive in a future episode when we have no way of knowing that) it would be good if you’d spoiler box it. Information from outside sources relevant to future plot points (you know, actual spoilers) should be boxed. ---

I’m so pumped for this episode, I can’t wait to see if “Buried” refers to Lydia’s demise. ---

Can’t wait to see what Hank does now. I’m going to guess that “Buried” will not refer to a person, but to a thing. Maybe the tank they used when stealing the methylamine? If Hank were to find out about that tank, maybe he would suspect Walt had something to do with the missing boy… ---

I’m not sure how Lydia’s crew is going to take the equipment from the buried meth lab. It looked like the access holes were smaller than some of the equipment there. So my guess is that they’re going to have to extract the lab intact. And Walt would have had to do a whole lot of digging to make that hole big enough for six barrels of cash. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > So Lydia’s not quite as helpless as she may have appeared. No, she just knows who to call. Todd’s already proven himself quite helpful in that regard. She kept putting her hand in her pocket, I assume she had a text message to Todd ready to go and just had to hit the send button to say “okay, come kill everyone” if the deal went South. I was caught off guard at the end, I couldn’t believe they send Hank into the interrogation room with only three minutes left. I didn’t think that was because they wanted to show three minutes of last weeks Low Winter Sun, the same three minutes that they showed last week, but I did catch a glimpse of Gale in it. I’m surprised that Walt’s cancer is really back, yet they had him working out in the sun and dirt all day and not a single cough, that doesn’t fulfill the cough of death trope. Not only that, they did it in the first season when Jesse asked Walt what stage his was just based on the sound of his cough. ---

There was a debate in last week’s thread over why Hank isn’t going to the DEA to turn in Walt. He’s ashamed he never caught Walt after all this time, and he wants to be the guy who brings him in. I thought he was worried about the DEA not believing him, but it looks like this is a matter of pride. I get that. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > I’m going to guess that “Buried” will not refer to a person, but to a thing. Yep. Skyler was brilliant and knew to not say a damn thing. (And what a great acting job by Anna Gunn.) She had Hank all figured out. Somehow Lydia is going to get caught and she is going to sing like a canary. I can’t wait to see Hank “interview” Jesse. ---

I get that. He knows that either way, he will never work in law enforcement again. It’s not just pride. He wants to go out without the cloud hanging over him that he must have been in on it the whole time. ---

When Marie was talking to Skyler and asked her if she knew about Walt before Hank was shot, I really wanted her to say “We’ll talk about everything when this is over, but I can’t say anything right now”. In fact, I was sort of surprised she even let Marie in the house, especially with Hank right outside. Did anyone else wonder, even for a split second that after Walt gave his little speech about making sure they she never gave up the money, that it she passed it on to the kids, if he was going to die right there on the floor.
