Okay, maybe I'm confused on something here, then who gave Brock the ricin? I was under the impression that Walt gave Brock the ricin so he could convince Jesse that Gus had poisoned the boy and that would make Jesse want to go after Gus even more so.

Walt didn't give Brock ricin, he gave him berries from a Lily of the Valley plant (which we saw in his back yard at the end of the episode); that's what poisoned him.

That's right. Thanks! I completely forgot that  :/ (Old Age Moment :p )

I'm bored, so here is my script for a "happy" ending:

Walt cuts his losses and goes off to make a fresh start with what's left of his life.

But then..

He somehow hears about Jesse's predicament and, with the bitterness he feels towards Todd, Uncle Nazi and his crew of Neo Nazi's for the killing of Hank (and thus killing off his chances of any sort of life with his family), the small matter of them pinching 70 million dollars from him, and the rekindled guilt over how he treated Jesse in the past, he resolves to take them all out.

Jesse, having been emancipated, can forgive, but not forget. He gets some of Walt's cash and runs off with Andrea and Brock to start anew.

Walt knows that, with Hank gone, reconciliation with his family is out of the question, so he sits down and records another video, outlining the whole story, to at least have them understand, especially Junior, why he did what he did. He explains how he started out with honourable intentions, but then got caught up with increasingly unsavoury people; how, a meeting with less-talented, but now highly successful, erstwhile colleagues reminded him of what he could have been, and gave him a thirst for power, sending him down increasingly dangerous paths; but that, through it all, he always thought of his family.

As a way of giving at least some of the money he worked so hard for to his family, he arranges to buy the A-One Car wash, and his own house, for far more than they are worth.

When he is convinced that all loose ends have been tied up, he whips out the ricin. From there, there are two possible outcomes: the ricin kills him before the cancer can or the ricin attacks his cancer, sending it into remission (not as silly as it sounds).

No? That's why I'm not being paid thousands to write scripts.

75 minutes, with commercials. So, let's see, in American terms, that works out to about 25 minutes. Disappointing.

Typically an hour long show amounts to ~40-42 minutes without commercials, so this should actually should be closer to 55-60 minutes without commercials.

So basically walt said all of those nasty things over the phone because he knew the authorities would be listing and this way he would guarantee the family protective custody! Which is why he was crying when he got done.

I feel bad for Jesse.  He can't catch a break for anything.  Hopefully it will end with him getting some peace.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
