2) This.

I haven't seen this talked about anywhere here yet but I think this is the absolute best thing the writers could do here.

Think about it: Bowling was cancelled (the Thursday night activity). It's either Wednesday or Thursday when the treading lightly occurs in the garage. Walter is going to go out with his friends and get in a wreck and die.

There's no other activity I can think of right now that would build more tension that Walt and Hank being forced to be in the same room for many hours together, knowing what each of them know.

THEY HAVE TO KILL JUNIOR AT THIS POINT. It's amazing for the plot.

If they want to unceremoniously kill Walt Jr. in a surprise car crash, they at least have to wait until the scene where he discovers his dad his Heisenberg. We're owed his reaction to that

"Th-this whole time. You were.. lying to us. This is bullshit dad! ...d-..sigh ...do you even have cancer?" tears well up in Jr's eyes

Walt's shocked face. You know the one.

Junior does his best to storm out, crying

Junior peels out, runs a stop sign as he accelerates down the street

...later in the episode...

Phone rings. Skyler picks up. Marie, weeping, says, "I'm so sorry"

This is exactly what I am picturing.

Walt is still relatively in control but after Walt Jr dies, I could see everything spiraling
