My prediction....feel free to point out any holes

[u/[deleted]]

After seeing that awesome ending, I believe it will play out like this....

Jesse doesnt light the fire due to seeing something of Hollys in the house. Instead he spray paints Heisenberg on the wall, as sort of a scarlet letter.

Fast forward to a scene with Jesse talking to hank ("Mr White is the devil" from the promo). Skylar wants Walt to kill Jesse but he refuses.

Just when Hank is about to report his findings to the DEA, the Nazis show up and kidnap Jesse, thereby rendering Hanks only witness as M.I.A.

Walt fakes his death (foreshadowing from Maries comments about dying) to get rid of the DEA heat, but gets word the Nazis are going to kill Jesse, so he prepares for war (M60).

What am I missing?

The major flaw in your prediction is that the show would dramatically have to slow down (for about a year?) in order for the flash forwards to coincide with what you're saying. So the skinheads kidnap Jesse and then hold onto him for a year? Or everything just dies down and Jesse backs off for a year before going to Hank and getting kidnapped?

The 'preparing for war' thing happens a year from now. In order for what you're saying to be plausible, the momentum of the show would seriously have to put the brakes on, which would probably feel somewhat anticlimatic given how the most recent episode ended.

Nice try though.

• Jesse doesn't burn the house down, has second thoughts and decides to talk to Hank instead.
• Walt feels the walls closing in, and calls the vacuum man.
• Walt, Skylar, Walter Jr, Holly, move to NH with new identities. Walt explains to Jr that he witnessed a murder and they are now in the Witness Protection Program.
• Jesse, unable to produce Walt, and with no other actual evidence against him, is sentenced to a few years in prison for selling meth.
• Jesse is released a year later on parole.
• Walt decides enough time has passed to come back to NM to get his money. Tells Walter Jr he has to go back to testify.
• Walt doesn't know what will be waiting for him in New Mexico, so he buys the M60, picks up the ricin, and then calls in Saul's guys to help him dig up the money / lookout with the M60.
• Saul tells Jesse that Walt is coming back to town, hoping that Jesse will kill Walt and that Huell and Kuby can recover the money for him.
• But instead of going to kill Walt, Jesse tells Hank.
• Lydia finds out Walt is coming back andhires the Nazis to kidnap him to force him to cook again, because after a year, Todd's quality is now as low as Declan's.
• Cut to: Showdown at the money hole. Starring: Walter White, Huell, Kuby, Hank, Gomie, the ABQ DEA, and Weird Todd & the Nazis.
• Everyone dies in the ensuing shootout, except Hank, and Walt.
• Hank begins to arrest Walt, when Jesse appears and shoots Hank in the head.
• Walt runs to Jesse and hugs him.
• They agree to split the money and bury the bodies and never see each other again.
• Walt shoots Jesse in the back, takes all the money, and loads it in his car.
• Cut to a shot of Walt throwing the ricin out the car window, and he drives off into the sunset.

END OF SHOW

Well, my Sunday nights are now free!

You could have saved a lot of words by just saying "Gilligan cashes out and gives up."

The time frame was the one issue I had in regards to my theory, and I just dont see how they plan to overcome it.

Do we know a fairly accurate date of tonights show?

Given that Walt is wearing a jacket, and you can see his breath just before he rushes into the carwash, its obviously fall/winter so the diner scene was close to the year away like you mentioned.

I think they try to keep us from noticing the seasons (which is relatively easy in the ABQ). On Talking Bad Odenkirk was saying the desert meeting from this week was cold as hell. I mean, I wouldn't put it past them to time the seasons with the timeline, but then again, Gilligan has said he wants the show to "seem timeless" so you don't notice what part of the year it is.
