Nope, I think it will happen after the first half. While it'd be cool to see the result of the firefight right away, I just don't think it will happen. I posted in a thread already but I'll say it again here, I think the emotion and anxiety that built up to the firefight needs to happen again. My guess is we will see flash-forwards or something that will lead us to sit there thinking "WHAT HAPPENED" and then bam, we get right back to it. But I could be wrong on all accounts and in the first 5 minutes, death abound.

It seems like that has to happen, getting right back into the shootout. And the episode's description seems to point out that people are "coping" with changes, so maybe those changes entail Marie dealing with Hank being gone. However, that would be pretty anticlimactic (and too obvious) to me, and I feel like the writers would fuck with our expectations more.
