A Fate Worse Than Death for Mr. White?
There are consequences, and well, they are clearly coming! The only question is what fate lies ahead for the egomaniacal control-freak that is Walter White. His struggle to survive has come at some very steep costs, which he will ultimately have to pay for. I have a feeling that, fittingly and deservedly, Gilligan will impose a fate worse than death on Walt. But what would that exactly look like? I concluded that it would demand one specific component: Walt’s meth production has directly (and very disproportionately) benefited Gretchen and Elliot, either via Gray Matter or another company (maybe even Madrigal).
Recall how Walt’s logic for entering the meth underworld was to avoid taking “charity” from the Schwartz’s? As Skyler accurately quipped, Walt would rather sell drugs than take their help. But wouldn’t it just be the greatest karmic kicker if Walt has actually been fattening Elliot and Gretchen’s wallets (again!) this whole time?! Especially since Walt now demands that his loved ones take his (ill-gotten) gains as charity. Not only is Walt’s meth money paying for Hank’s expenses, but he tells Skyler that “all of the sacrifices that I have made for this family will be for nothing if you don't accept what I've earned." Her response? “I.F.T.!” Brilliant.
Among others, here are some of the main facts and underlying logics which support this theory:
