I think Walter White, Jr. will be the one to discover Walt's secret first. This is the only one that if they know, Walt will be able to continue on for a million reasons.

I think Hank will uncover his secret first. He's no idiot and the clues must be starting to bring him closer to the truth.

i also belive it will be walt jr. due to the website. chicken brothers might tip off hank tho.

So, someone is going to discover his secret, huh? (It's implied by the question...)

My guess would be Gomez or another member of Hank's team, since they're the only ones who actually know details of his actions and have only to find the one behind them (with plenty of evidence to go on). Having Hank find him would be too predictable, and that's definitely not in keeping with the show's style.

Skyler Can't find out Walt's secret, somehow he is going to get around it and get her to stop freaking out about his lying... Although if my wife had left b/c she found out about my one million lie's, I couldn't really blame her. Flynn finding out would make a little bit of sense, especially if it was done earlier in the season, b/c I do believe like was previously said, he might be convinced to keep his mouth shut. Hank's too dumb, and it wouldn't even make for good story line if he figures it out... The show would just end there, unless it takes some outlandish twist where Hank also wants in on the Meth money, becoming some retarded double agent between the DEA and the drug business. Gomez or any other DEA figuring it out would be similar to Hank, it just ends the show. I think if its not Walter Jr, then maybe possibly Gretchen, she knows he's lying to Skyler about something, and with a little investigation or prodding she could easily find out... Plus I think Walt wants to tell her and rub it in her face that he's making crazy money without her and Elliot. I'm probably wrong, but I'm not sure who could find out and have a decent story continue. PS... I Loveee this show, Since I started watching it a few weeks ago (thanks to a friend who tivo'ed it) I've been hooked worse than jesse's friends are to crystal. I went to blockbuster and rented both seasons and watched them over two days. If you stop making it I'll be severely angry.

tokelly72> Don't worry, there are so many red herrings thrown out in this show. Who knows when Walt's secret will be discovered? You hear all the time about investigations that go on for years. Who is to say this isn't one of them?

For the record, I agree with your idea Gomez is the one to discover the secret. If nothing else, it would create some real tension between Hank and Gomez. Hank is too emotionally close to Walt to really be able to process the idea that he's a drug lord, even if he doesn't think the real Heisenberg is in jail, but Gomez is only an acquaintance of Walt's. It would be a pretty strong conflict in Hank and Gomez's relationship.

In addition, Hank has some mental health issues and those will probably factor into what happens. Gomez will bulldog through the crap.

Dang, it's like that ketchup commercial...anticipation...mmmm.

I think it will most likely be Hank or Gomie. My instincts say Gomie, as he is not related to Walt and would be more objective. Hank being related would question his own thinking and might slide into denial if he were to suspect Walt. Gomie on the other hand is not related and therefore not be hindered by Family ties. The DEA has a case file on "Heisenberg" now, they know he produces a superior product. Also the "Blue Crystal" has spread out from the Abq to other cities/ States like spokes on a wheel. Abq is still the hub of that wheel.

I have another more off the wall and twisted scenario. Our girl Marie slides back into her klepto mode and gets arrested. While in lock up, she meets some Meth users, which fires her curiosity. She knows her hubby Hank is trying to track down a Meth dealer. After she gets bailed out and is on probation, she takes a leave of absence from her job to recover and has nothing but time on her hands to play "Nancy Drew". Marie exploiting her role as the wife, probes Hank with some after action conversation and Hank complies with a gold mine of info. Now its up to Marie to connect all the dots...

Wow! So much of the excitement is centered around him getting away with what he is doing....Hmmm. There's the money stacked in the garage that could be found. The RV parked in the tow lot, Hank tracking the product. Just so many avenues. What makes the show so great is it's unpredictability and here I am trying to make a prediction.

I think if Hank found out it would be the most exciting. He finds out, he reveals what he knows to Walt privately. He talks about how his job is a thankless one that could find him blown to pieces from a turtle bomb and no one would really care. He tells Walt about all the connections and knowledge of the business that he has, ect.
Offers Walt a a side deal that he can't refuse.
One thing is for sure. You guys are writing a masterpiece and whatever you decide, it will be perfect for the show. Keep up the great work and visit my Breaking Bad lens made in your honor at: http://www.squidoo.com/breaking-bad

I have thought for a long time that Hank would be the next to find out, based upon the amount of time that is spent concentrating on his work and home life. I think Hank will initially be in denial, especially because of all that he has done on Walt, Sr.'s behalf within his own work situation, believing that Walt perhaps became involved with Heisinger because he needed medical marijuana or something and got lassoed into doing more for him (Hank will not be able to comprehend that Walt is his Heisinger). So Walt will use Jesse (with Jesse's full cooperation) to make it look like there is a separate ringleader. Walt may even get to wear a wire. Also, I'm quite interested in Walt's motivation if his cancer goes away completely or is in lengthy remission--why will he stay in business? (You know he will, but for complex, complicated reasons!)

My guess is the chicken restaurant owner. He saw Walt's picture on the donation can at the DEA office, and recognized him. After he approaches Walt, and threatens him by trying to blackmail money from him,(afterall, he knows Hank is Walt's brother-in-law) something nefarious will happen to the chicken man.

I think Hank and Marie will discover this at the same time. Marie will be "scoring" and Hank will be secretly watching Marie.(undercover, and suspicious of Marie) Somehow, Walt will also be at the scene, because he always gets into these predicaments, and they will all have to keep quiet to protect each other.

Gomez

i think that walt jr will figure things out by finding the money. They will be working togheter to fix things up and he will come across it

Walt Jr...he already has covered for his dad about the second cell phone when Skyler asks if Walt brought his cell phone to the hospital. Hank is too obvious of a choice. But, Walt Jr. will find out when he attempts to apply the donations to the surgery bill and it's already been paid by his father. Walt Jr. will by chance find Walt's second cell phone and possibly will find a text message "lbs. of Bluesky immediately" from Gus's henchmen and Gus. Walt Jr. will approach his father and ask him, "What do you know about "BlueSky" and why are they text messaging you? And how did you pay for your surgery bill in full...how did you get that money"?????

I think Skyler's going to discover what Walt's been up to. As we just saw in the S2 finale, she's got her Nancy Drew in full effect...and she's putting the puzzle together piece by piece.

Walt Jr.

Hank will be the first to find out. Walt will convince Hank to help him in his mission. Hank, being in the DEA, will have a conflict with this, but will break down after realizing how much money there is to be made, and that he could keep the DEA off of Walt's trail.

Hank gets my vote, too.

Walt Jr (Flynne)

As much as I'd like to watch Hank get his head around having his own brother in law being Heisenberg, and right under his nose the whole time, I don't think it will work that way.
I think we need to see more of Walt Jr.'s character development. We started to see Walt trying to re-establish who was the boss at the pool scene. I think Walt Jr. is going to find the money by accident and confront his dad, as teens are wont to do. His dad is going to switch into Heisenberg mode, and make like super dad to turn Walt Jr. into mini Heisenberg. Who would suspect the kid? Jr wants to impress his dad, and we know from the Saul scene and the showing the baby the money scene that Walt Sr. is aching to show off what he has accomplished to someone. Even if it means making his real son break bad, a fate worse than he did to his "son" Jesse.

I dont know why but for some reason I keep thinking towards Jesse's girls dad, the airtraffic controler. ya never know :)

I think waltz secret is discovered first by his ex-wife she is already suspicious

I think Marie will but, due to her own issues (with shoplifting and perhaps other things?) will, instead of turning Walter in, reach out to him and become embroiled in his secret life.

Hank!!!!
Then the transformation into Darth Schrader will have begun.

I can't tell you who will discover his secret, but....I think I may know who won't. I have a terrible suspicion that Skyler, the baby, and Walt Jr. were on one of those planes that collided....I just kind of have butterflys...or should I say "Butterfly Effects" in my stomach. It kind of fits the "what goes around come around" direction that I think the writers are heading in....RAA

I think it'll be Marie.

Why? Because Vince et al love to use the least obvious, but yet plausible, story mechanics, characters, etc.

She hasn't gotten a lot of character development, but there's fertile ground there in having Walt's sister-in-law, the link between him and the law, be the flash point.

Also, since she has a questionable relationship with the law herself, she seems like an ideal choice to face just that sort of dilemma.

Probably Flynn, but who knows.
Thanks for creating the best show ever (Lost was on #1 for a long time and though I haven't watched the last season and I still love that show also, BB just got on first place after seeing season 2).

I think the IRS is going to get involved because of the money that Walter Jr. thinks is coming in due to his efforts and the IRS is also going to question Elliot and Gretchen about the money supposedly given to the family. So I think Gretchen and Elliot will know first.

I believe the money spent from the stolen ATM machine is going to come back and send Walt some real trouble. It had to have crossed Gretchen's mind already, but she thinks too highly of Walt.

I think it will be Gretchen or Elliot. As far as we know, Elliot doesn't know about the tiff Gretchen and Walt had although he must know about their relationship.

Elliot will want to know how Walt is doing. They were apparently good friends at one point.

Which secret?

There are quite a few.

Like killing Krazy-8 or letting Jane die.

Maybe he will get away with those.

But if you mean who will find out first that Walt is the cooking king of New Mexico Meth.

I go with Walt Jr. and it will probably be due to Walt slipping up somewhere and Jr. finds something. Both his parents are pretty bright.

I definitely think that Walt, Jr. will find out. Either by finding the money, overhearing a phone call, or perhaps somehow through a fellow student who could of heard something from one of Jesse's brilliant sidekicks! I am so in love with Jesse!

You know if Skyler found out about Walt's secret, there would be NO WAY she would forgive Walt for what he has done, no matter if he was dying or trying to save the family from financial ruin...remember the line she gives to Walt before she drives off with Holly in the car, she didn't want to know just how bad the circumstances were behind all the lies. I just don't believe Vince and the writing staff would cut that relationship completely "dead in the water" but I can see Vince always leaving the characters hanging like loose strings dangling and when needed again, they can pull those strings again in future episodes. It's the interlacing of characters pitted against each other that makes the series interesting and keeps the motivation steady throughout the series. Walt Jr. has been in the background far too long and now its time to bring him back out into the limelight again and Walt Jr. finding out Walt's secret, will start the interplay of characters again, pitted against each other. The immediate question comes to mind, who will Walt Jr. confide with about this secret? Will he tell his father? Will he tell Sklyer? Will he tell Hank? Or will he confide in his school friend and the two keep the secret longer to figure out what to do?

As a favor to Skylar, Ted will investigate and be the first to find out. Because he needs money he'll break bad and blackmail Heisenberg.

I think it will be jane's father! remember them in that bar talking about his daughter and walt was talking about Jessie but refered to him as his nephew. And besides we have not see if walt goes with Jessie to her funeral!!
(JUST A THOUGHT)

Keep up the great writting and acting ! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

I think it is going to be Walter Jr. He will probably spot something fishy and figure it out and then there will be a big father-son confrontation. Thats my guess...

Maybe it will be one of Walt's students. He already had that close call with the ringing cell phone in the classroom ceiling.

The high school principal. She will go to walk in the classroom and notice Walt talking on his cell phone to Jessie and so she stops to eavesdrop. Walt would be talking about crystal and the money, or making more money. She confronts him right after and Walt freaks out as he thinks she will turn him in. Instead she blackmails him and ends up getting romantically involved later on (which ultimately splits up him and Skyler).

Walt Jr.'s buddy Louis get some blue meth ... something "Bad" happens and Jr. finds out somehow that poppa was the cook.

I like it Silent .. I was kind of thinking of her also.. some sort of love triangle... Walt and her .. Skylar and Ted... Marie and Badger ;)

One would hope that it would be Hank that finally figures it out. But you have to wonder which way he would run with it.

Bust him, Blackmail him, and take another fat cut out of his bottom line... like Saul.

But the real thing is.... "They don't need any more money !!" .. he's got the bills all paid .. Jesse has a lot of cash.

The only reason they have to cook any more would be pressure form Gus. Who really doesn't need any money anyway.

It's not about a NEED anymore..It's about POWER and if Walt's can seperate himself from Heisenberg or not. He has seen the cost so far... does he choose to continue.

Or has he " Broken Bad' to the point of no return?

I think A BRAND NEW character from season 3 will discover Walt's secret and HOLD IT AGAINST HIM! -- Perhaps black mail him out of his money, thus causing Walt to start cooking all over again... he's back where he started... or, perhaps, Walt will step into the dark side and ruthlessly take him/her out. We saw that he is capable of protecting his turf/name in previous episodes, so I think this will be exploited in season three to its fullest potential.

Strap in folks, season three is going to be one hell of a ride!

yes the brand new character does make sense.

Someone to fill Jesse shoes while he's at the spa ;)

Let's see Jesse has been there at least 6 weeks btwn the time of the plane crash if I remember correctly.

Maybe Gus will have a assistant for Walt as i don't think Walt would have clue one as to how to get another person to fill in.

I think the first person to discover Walt's secret will be the Chemistry student who asked Walt to let his poor marks slide and was refused.
He could overhear Walt using his second cell-phone in his chemistry class after a day's work. Walt knows his campaign to smooth things over with Skylar will take a little time, so he decides to touch bases with Jesse in the wellness rehab centre and he uses his second mobile phone, which he's free to carry now since he doesn't have to hide it in the toilet at home as long as Skylar's not back.
I don't remember that student's name but he definitely showed signs of "attention deficit syndrome" that could be related to drug use and so he recognizes Walt's references to Meth in his conversation with Jesse and puts two and two together...
The question will then become what does he do with the information... after all he was wanting Walt to let him off the hook on his Chemistry marks and now he has an incredibly powerful bargaining chip.
Poor Walt that would be all he needs -- another junkie to deal with!

Enter Clovis, Badgers car towing cousin. Seems Clovis has hit hard times, Girl friend left him, his Dog dies and his Subprime Mortgage is about to foreclose. He reads in the local newspaper about the Plane collision and how it all centers around Donald's on the job failure, due to grief over Jane's death. Reading on he discovers that Jane's death was due to an overdose of Herion, but that there was also a trace amount of Meth in her system. Not seeing Jesse for awhile, Clovis puts two and two together and Bingo. Clovis see a way to solve his financial situation. Clovis resorts to Blackmail.

No matter what, the most important issue, regarding the secret and its revealing, is the trust in marraige between Walt and Skyler. Walt has an outstanding debt to pay in his repairing of his relationship with his wife - a woman he truly loves more than anything in the whole world. It would be unforgivable if Skylar found out the truth from anyone else before Walt had a chance to explain the whole deal to her. Walt is the only one who can fully explain the events and Skylar is the only person who needs to know all the details( besides us). My guess is that Skylar will accept the money, the same way she accepted the charitable contributions from the website. She is practical as well as beautiful. She has really captured quite a sexually attractive place in "Breaking Bad". She and Walt will kiss and make up and this mending of a family's complex wounds will be on the way to healing. That is what the show is about just as much as any other theme presented. Love between a boy and a girl is one of the oldest and most amazing stories we've ever been told!!

Im sure it will be Hank. All season he's been finding little clues. Skyler will tell him something and Hank will realize Walts true identity.

I think Marie might stumble on Walt's secret first. She's kind of a nosy little busybody and she'll accidentally start to suspect something.

I'm another one who thinks Hank Jr. will discover his dad's secrets first, though I don't think he'll do anything with the information. He adores his dad, and will probably think the only reason he's involved in drugs is because he's saving his family from harm, that he's being threatened and/or made to participate. Hank Jr. will love his dad more after realizing how deeply he's involved and how much trouble he would be in if found out. Even though he's sick and dying of cancer, it further proves how wonderful his dad really is, that he would put himself in such danger.

I think Marie will discover Walt's secret first. She'll be thrown in jail for shoplifting some ridiculous thing like a bedazzled toilet seat. Hank won't post bail, so she'll be forced to spend a few days behind bars. After befriending another inmate, she'll connect the dots and realize that Walt is up to something. The inmate will be woman who crushed her husband's head with the ATM machine. The woman will tell Marie the story of the death of her husband, Jesse Pinkman being there, etc. Marie will remember that Skyler once told her about going over to Jesse's house after Walt confessed that Jesse was his pot dealer.

i believe it will be the o.d. chick's dad. i believe that he goes through a mental breakdown and blames jesse for her death and the loss of his job and everything else that he might have lost or has gone wrong. i believe he comes after jesse and then finds out that he is a meth dealer and finds out that walt is the cook. i have like a 6th sense for this kind of stuff. but i have been wrong (rarely)

PDXKEVIN - Come up with your own Idea, dont piggyback off of mine. I've already posted on this thread at June 17 2009 - 10:00 AM. Marie gets arrested for shoplifting and "Connects the dots" with help from some fellow Jailbirds and Hank. Lets try and be a little more original in the future ok.

Oh God, pick any character. Every one could be the one who "outs" Walt. I'll go with Walt Jr. because after all, he's in high school and high school kids are well aware of what's out there and he may discover some connection between the drugs and Walt.

I think it will be Marie just because it is so out of left field and the potential complications you could imagine are promisingly intriguing. Yes, I think its Marie.

It would totally work if Marie was the one who found out first. The story can continue because I don't think she will let the secret out and here is why. First, when Skyler moves in with Marie and Hank, Marie will be overjoyed that her sister trusts her again. She will have an overwhelming sense of loyalty to Skyler and take it upon herself to find out what Walt is doing. A private investigator if you will and eventually she will find out. When she confronts Walt she will sympothize with him and his health/financial predicament. After all she is one who can justify breaking the law (remember the tiara). Even though she hates the meth she knows if she spills the beans the whole family will be turned upside down. It would be more pain. Plus she doesn't want him to spend his dying days in prison. Furthermore, people like Walt give her husband a reason to work which pays for the bills. I think she may even enjoy her role for a while until things get too complicated. She may be in a position to blackmale Walt from time to time to get what she wants.

I think Walt is going to tell Hank what he has been doing. I believe Hank is on the verge of bustin' the case wide open, and Walt knows this and he would rather tell Hank than let him find out on his own. ( Cause, if Hank cracked the case with all his DEA buddies, he would have no choice but to send Walt up the river.) I think Hank would then feel for Walt and steer his department in another (albeit WRONG) direction to throw them off the trail.
So, Hank will be the 1st to find out. Much love for this show! Can not WAIT for next season!!

I wonder if the episode has even been written yet. I would like Skyler to find out first, maybe when Walt talks to her about staying together.

Hey Zia, I think they will need more money because they are going to get robbed or someone will accidentally stumble upon Walt's money, possibly a fireman or plummer. And Jesse, will probably get ripped off while the lawyer holds his money, or better yet, Jesse will donate it all to charity to ease his guilt of Jane.

I am thinking that it's Gretchen. Walt will no doubt end up cooking more after he gets robbed or blackmailed. Gretchen will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, possibly she will see Walt in the RV at a gas station or something. She will note that he is with Jesse and acting suspicious, so she will follow them at a distance. Because of their history, she will confront him rather than turn him in.

It could be that Jessie's parents find out first. Reason is, Jessie is having an attack of his conscience. He will no doubt talk to someone, who may be his mom. Jessie's mom will then have to be bribed with all of the money, not to talk.

Hi abqwalterwhite (nice handle). I think the writers are listening to us viewers to get ideas.I sure the answer will not be the one given most often. Whoever discovers Walt's secret will either become a partner (Saul) or end up dead (Jane). Rest in Peace Hank.

R.W.- I PROMISE you, I read no other posts prior to posting mine. I've been suspicious of the Marie klepto thing for a while now. I figure it must tie into the story at a deeper level.

I can guarantee that if I DID read your post, I never would have wrote what I did.

I agree with brokeisbad. The only one that has any clout in regards to drugs and money is the chicken man. He knows that Walt is a drug dealer, he knows what Jesse looks like, he knows that Hank is his bro-in-law. He is a badass playing two sides of the fence much like Walt, he could create real headaches for Walt. I see a bad moon on the rise!

I think it will be someone close to Walt. Probably a family member, and I don't mean to copy others but Walt Jr. is pretty sharp kid.

Wow..so many good scenarios from this thread and each posting seems to have a good potential for who will find out. I wonder if Vince and his staff are viewing these postings and smiling, knowing they will surprise us all BIG TIME. I have a strange feeling Vince will have a "shock value" to Season #3! I love all the postings here...the "who done it" and it wasn't the butler this time! LOL

One thing that bugs me about Walt is how he uses his class room to do a lot of his business ie. hiding the phone in the ceiling. It is not an office! Both Jesse and Saul have come to his class room to handle business against Walts will, but nonetheless, it is such a rudimentory mistake to make himself so open while at school. One of the teachers or janitors are going to catch him stealing equipment or over hear a sensitve conversation with Saul or Jesse. The school board has to be keeping an eye on him because of the grocery store episode. This could cause him to lose his job even if the full scope of the illegality isn't realized by the staff member who catches him. Allegations alone could be enough to fire him at this point. If he loses his job, he's cooking again!

Hank because he will be more suspicous when he finds out why Skylar is bringing the whole family with her to his house. He will piece together the information and catch Walt, who will make careless mistakes due to being tense about Skylar leaving and finding out that he was indirectly responsible for the plane crash.

Walter should not say anything. It is her responsibility to apologize to him for letting him down by leaving him in such a repulsive manner.
Skylar as usual will be doing the talking especially after her plan B(mr. wandering hands) explodes when Sklar finds out he is already dating the receptionist that almost didn't let her into his office.

Hank will discover Walt's secret first, because he's the last who should know and this show is realistic and uses to take shortcuts !
I want my hoodie *_*

Hank will definately find out first, he already suspects him!

Clayton Neuman gets a hold of the Super Secret script for the future episode, where Walter White's secret is discovered. Then Threatens to divulge the super secret episode details to Access Hollywood and TMZ, unless AMC delivers $1 Million in unmarked $20.00 bills to an undisclosed location. Both Access Hollywood and TMZ decline Clayton's offer. Clayton then resorts to make an offer to the National Inquirer.

I think it will be Hank that figures out what Walt is up to. Skyler will probably talk to Marie about how money has been mysteriously been appearing to pay Walt's medical bills. Marie will tell Hank.

Hank has already noticed a change in Walt. Look back at the party they had for Walt (the tequila incident). Hank and Walt almost got into a fistfight. Hanks acessment of Walt is changing, and Walt's secret will seem more feasible to Hank.

The clues are all out there. Hank will add them up.

Hank is the most obvious answer, so it must be somebody else. The beauty of this show is that just when you think they're gonna zig, they zag. So, it's probably going to be the someone outside of his family.

HANK totally knows whats up.
but i think it will be walt jr.
damn u amc i need one of these friggin hoodies!!!!
i miss everything!! :(

Walts secret will be discovered by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division after receiving a suspicious transaction report by the hospitals bank as to the large cash payment for his hospital bill. IRS will hook up withDEA through a task force, one of whose members is a DEA Special Agent. This agent remembers the name on the cannister that he deposited $5 dollars into and then contacts Hank who then goes beyond suspicious.

Walt Jr. - He'll come across the money hidden in the garage while looking for something for his dad.

I know whatever the question, you will have the answer so all I am going to say is that I am a 63 year old woman who loves your show and my son has just got out of the joint and I would love to have a Breaking Bad hoodie . He made a Jesse mistake and is trying to get his life back on track. I am in final stage liver disease and my wish is not only that he stays clean but that he could wear a hoodie to remind himself to stay on the right path. By the way, he is a big fan of B.B. too.

I kept cringing every time Walt moved the money because it was always some place where Marie might stumble on it and start using it for her own personal piggy bank. I could see her helping out with the baby and doing some laundry and finding it in the laundry room.

Keep on making this show. It keeps me on the edge of my seat and I'm not normally much of a TV watcher. I'm blown away by the quality of the acting in this program and the writing and the filmatography. I kept telling my friends that it would be a crime if Aaron Paul didn't get nominated for an Emmy this season, and he did. So congratulations on all your Emmy noms!

a new twist! when the plane crashed debree was falling from the sky,and hit skylers car causing a wreck.maybe putting her in a coma and some how not hurting holly. when skyler awakens from her coma she won't remember anything even her boss.she is only looking for an excuse so she can carry on an affair with him.she needs to come down to earth and smell the coffee, so to speak and trust her husband of almost 20 years.i think the 3 season will start with a phone call to walt telling him just this.
