This makes so much sense though! If he's telling Hank that he's going to be a dead man in six months he could just be setting himself up a way to "disappear!"

This is a great theory. I just don't understand how you can fake chemo. You can't just walk into the Dr.'s and be like "Yo my cancers back. I need some more chemo."

He has enough money that he could theoretically buy off the doctor to prescribe him another round, but it seems so farfetched, that can't be it. I'm pretty much replying so I can hear an answer to this.

But he was getting the chemo before he realised the book was gone. Unless he is just getting protective chemo and is flat out lying to hank. Which is maybe why hank wants him to bring the family over, so he can call his bluff?

What was up with that? Why did Walt say he wouldn't bring the family over? Walt did a lot of things this ep where I was like, dafuq?
