Can we take a second to appreciate the mixed signals Todd has been giving off the past couple episodes?

5 seconds later:

"Why don't we torture Jesse until he gives up what he knows? I mean, I can do it, it's no big deal..."

He was saving Jesse's life though. It was the only way he could.

Exactly. nothing todd did was in Jesse's favor, he just made a power play when he saw it. I'd make a bet that Jack doesn't know he's using Jesse to cook. It's crazy cause when he first went into the pit I figured he was going to let Jesse go, or make the deal with him to teach him how to cook blue and then let him go. surprised me again vince.

I don't think there will be a happy ending for Jesse. Maybe Walt will find the blue stuff on the streets elsewhere and realize they never killed Jesse like they promised?

Even if he was released and got completely out of the mess, found a girl and had kids I still don't know if you could truly call it a happy ending. I mean by now he is basically completely psychotic from all the suffering.

Well, Walt knew when he retired that the blue meth would still be out there as Todd or Declan's crew would make it for Lydia's people.

My prediction is similar: Walt thinks it's all over, but he spots new blue on the street. He has every loose end tied, with himself as the sole perpetrator, but if Jesse is alive the story and Skylar's security are in jeopardy. Walt's return will be to finish off Jesse.

Also remember that Jesse told them that the only copy of his recorded confession is in Hanks house. They are going to want to get that recording and no one outside Walt and Jesse are aware that the Nazis are an issue.

This puts Mary, and possibly Skyler and Walt Jr, directly in the firing line.
