I was wondering about the ricin as well...he obviously has plans for it since he went out of his way to retrieve it. Maybe he'll just replace Lydia's stevia with it.

My biggest question is what Walt is going to do with the ricin that he is getting in the flash-forward at the beginning of the episode.

My guess is that he is going to use it to commit suicide. Wouldn't the greatest irony of this show be that the man who started down this path to leave his family with something when he (inevitably, shortly) died instead takes his own life after he "survives" his illness but has lost his family as a result of his own actions.

More food for thought: who is present-day Walt coming after with that machine gun? Where are Skyler and the kids? Where is Jesse? I feel like something horrific is going to happen to one/some/all of those people, and Walt has returned home to get revenge. Maybe the Aryan Brotherhood guys that Todd knows come after them, or someone associated with Lydia's overseas meth operation? Speculate with me, won't you?

^^you're right. brb, watching episode again.

I agree that she might do something crazy to try and get Walt back, but she is absolutely not the one who planted the tracker. She knows where to find Walt - at the carwash. She knows he's not cooking anymore, and there's really no need for her to track him. It would serve no purpose.

Hank, on the other hand, doesn't know that Walt has stopped cooking. He's trying to gain information about Walt's activities and where he goes. When Walt confronts him with the tracker, which is "just like" the kind Hank used previously on Gus Fring, Hank closes the garage door because he knows the jig is up and that each know that the other one knows what's going on. Hank is the one who planted the tracker.

Hank seriously sharted when Walt rolled up. I mean, above and beyond what I would imagine is his daily shart amount.

I'm PP who thinks it's Lydia or Skyler, but I'm revising my theory…And Walt didn't say it was the exact same kind of tracker he and Hank had used. He said it was 'just like it'. I think there are shades of meaning here. I'd bet a blue Gatorade™ Lydia has planted the tracker. Lydia is trying to draw Walt back in--maybe she plans to kidnap him to force him to cook. Remember, she is the one who gave Gus his distribution network in the first place. She is not going to take no for an answer. She is extremely thorough and wound tight as a tick.

Remember how Lydia found the tracker on the oil bin in the storage compartment in the first half of season 5? And it could also be Skylar who planted the tracker, because she looked like she was about to 'choke a bitch' when she confronted Lydia at the car wash. Either way, that would mean that Hank has basically got nada on Walt--except that Walt's prints are on the Leaves of Grass book. But he could just say he touched the book when Hank was first showing him the evidence he had found. Hank is a fat, crazy fucker and I hope he goes down.

The tracker was clearly put there by Hank. Besides, the tracker on that bin was not removed. And she wasn't the one who placed the tracker to begin with, the police were, so she wouldn't be able to use it to track someone anyway.

It was amazing. I cant believe i have to wait until next Sunday. So curious what is going to happen and what happened. It's obvious Jesse doesnt believe Walt. Who put the tracker on Walt's car? Hank or Jesse?

oh hank definitley. hank or his trusted friend at work.

I don't think Hank has revealed to anyone what he's figured out about Walt...not just because he's still sorting through all the information/evidence, but because he would be implicated in the whole thing - accepting the "gambling" money, taking Walt along on surveillance of Gus Fring, etc.

Can't wait to see what happens next inside that garage...

Why would Jesse put a tracker on Walt's car? And do you really think Jesse has the capability to do something like that, especially in his current state? And what are the odds it would be the exact same kind of tracker hank had Walt put on Gus Fring's car? Clearly Hank put the tracker on Walt's car. This episode raised a lot of questions, but honestly this wasn't one of them.
