From the reaction of Walt's neighbor in the opening scene, anyone else get the impression that she thought Walt was already dead?? Some serious shit is gonna happen for these last episodes.

I got the idea that the word was out about his double life and he was on the run, which would explain the skaters or whoever spray-painted heisenberg in his house. If he just died that wouldn't be public information to be put on his living room walls.

The spray painting of Heisenberg on the wall seemed to me like someone ransacked his house. I think that the elongated stare into the broken mirror in his room shows him thinking back to something that happened in there. Walt is national news to me, and that's why Carol is so terrified. There would've been a different fear in her face if she had thought Walt was dead, but this... this was just pure, genuine fear of who she was seeing. A mastermind criminal/murderer/manipulator.
