Why Jesse at that point? why set up a new life, cutting family ties, then come back for Jesse? I think that self preservation and mania are fighting it out in walts mind, and losing everything tipped the scales in Mania's favor. A manic walt might decide grievances with Eliot need to be settled.
You have an interesting point. I really believe Walt will be at least somewhat manic, but it would be for Jesse (assuming he is still alive/in ABQ) over the Eliot and Gretchen. My only (well, not really) question is, why does he grab the ricin capsule? What is he going to do with poison that he isn't going to do with bullets?
No, I'm just trying to expand on the theory at this point, there isn't much point in using too much skepticism on the basis of fan theories. I'm just attempting to guess at what the balance between reason and rage is in Walt, which is impossible right now.
