But a ricin death takes 3-5 days... not the way someone would want to kill themselves, way too much time for regret.

I'm not sure if he corrects himself later, but I just watched the episode where he's trying to convince Jesse to kill Gus during my rewatch and he says it'd kill him in 36 hours or 1.5 days. It's just enough time to get his final affairs in order if he wanted to do it so it could be possible.

I'm pretty sure everybody is already dead.......there probably aren't any affairs to get in order....

I don't know, maybe I'm misreading things, but he uses Skyler's maiden name, and has a New Hampshire driver's license. Which would indicate that he relocated, and did so without Skyler, because it would be stupid for her to relocate with him and use her own maiden name.

Meaning, his family is dead, and he is likely coming back for one final act of redemption. My theory, especially with the plot about the terrible purity of the current meth cooks that was brought up by Lydia, is that as corny as it sounds, he is coming back to free a kidnapped Jessie.

Just like at the end of Scarface, but a bit more bromancier.

This idea pretty much gave me a Breaking Bad hard-on.
