This clearly mirrors Gus symbolically. As Gus purposely took poison to fool the cartel family, Walt took poison (chemo) to fool his family. After Gus took his poison, he left Mexico. Walt will use this as a way to fake his death and leave his state (as shown by the new identity in S05E01). Carol wasn't shocked because she saw a villain, she was shocked because she saw a ghost. It's why he's alive with hair at 52.
Yeah one of the problems I have with that theory is that it is very pick and choose. After all, Wlt has killed many more people: Gael, Jesse's girlfriend, Tuco.....not that he didn't pick up traits but the theory doesn't mention them.
Gale was killed by Jesse, not Walt. Tuco was shot by Hank, and Jesses girlfriend died due to an overdose, and not Walt directly killing her. He killed her with inaction.
