"So who put the tracer on? Jesse. A long time ago. And that's how he
knows that Mike is dead - the tracer told him that Walt went driving out
to the middle of nowhere, so Jesse went out later and found Mike"

If I'm Walt right now, I'm paying the prison gang to go take care of Hank right there in his garage, burn all the evidence and hope nobody else in the DEA knows the theory (which they don't seem to at this point, based upon the way the two agents reacted to Walt as if all was normal).

Bets: Walt adds a secret ingredient into the next batch of Schraderbrau?

Right, because I'd much rather watch two episodes of legal and accounting paperwork being filed, bickering over the valuation of each firm and partner shares, etc.

Also, how did they even drive off? Didn't they have their tires punctured by spikes?

This episode was a D-. A total cop out by the writers. The best part about the episode was Andrea/Milton's scenes and that was badly tainted by the fact that Andrea decided to dawdle with the pliers while dying Milton kept telling her to hurry the hell up. Being the idiot she is, she deserved her fate richly.

Seriously, they could kill off Rick and I wouldn't bat one single tear. Daryl/Michonne/Tyreese would make a badass triumverate in his absence.

Exactly. Because after Michonne, Merle would be an obvious #2 the Governor would want dead. I spent some time during the episode kind of wondering if Merle would turn Michonne over with a plea to the Governor to take him back since he knew Team Woodbury would win the war.

In the preview for next week, the Gov said 8.

Bets on next episode? I'm thinking Meth Damon screws something up while making meth and burns a house down, turning everything to total shit. Or he leaves his notepad behind and a family returns to find it and turns it into the police. I definitely think he'll make a mistake that will be integral to the final…

I get the feeling Walt will creatively dispatch of Mike at the season break, use Todd's connections to help Lydia wipe out the informants in jail and the early second half of the season will be a combination of trying one last glorious, lucrative run with Lydia, Saul, Todd and a reluctant Jesse while avoiding both the…
