Re: Breaking Bad
but every time they end up in what appears to be a no-win situation, they find a way out.
I see Walt learning from Gus, and moving to usurp. He already spots Gus' moves, he's just not connected enough yet.
Assuming Jessie did it, there can't be a status quo, and there's no way to back out of everyting at this point; only up remains. Walt's willingness to take some of the actions he has lately shows he might have the intestinal fortitude and/or desperation to do Gus's job.
Of course there was a shot at the end of the last episode, but was it Jessie's gun, or the Mexican guy that ran to chase him down once Walt gave the order? I don't see a way out for Walt in that scenario, but who knows what the writers might dream up.
