She's a cockroach....I wouldn't be surprised if she's the only one left when everything is done.

Earlier, Marie had wanted Hank to go to the DEA to turn in Walt, but Hank said it would be his "last day" there. With Gomez watching Jessie's confession, does that change things? Is Gomez now in the same boat with Hank (to be fired, etc) ?

So any scenario of him working with Mr. White is simply not plausable to the story. I think people are overthinking this...the writers suprise at time, but they have never resorted to cheapness and disbelief in the plot, or left out continuity for the purpose of suprise.
Working with Walt doesn't mean he wouldn't be afraid of Walt. He'd still be paranoid when going to the meeting.

They have left out continuity for the purpose of surprise. They often switch to the future and back to the past so you're surprised by what happened. The same occurred when Walt walked into the house and found the gas can. They went back in the past to show us that Hank came and got Jesse. They can easily do the same thing by going back in the past and showing us what Jesse did in the bathroom.

I doubt Gomez knows about Hanks "confession video" that implicates Hank. If Hank doesn't handle this black-ops investigation properly, Gomez will go up the ladder and report what's happening. I don't think Gomez puts partner brotherhood above doing the right thing. We've seen him continually question Hank's decisions and actions throughout the seasons.

Exactly. Often the writers will make us think we are seeing one thing but later scenes reveal that we were actually seeing something completely different. This technique has been used brilliantly in this show right from the beginning. Was Jesse really scared of the bald guy? Of course, that is what we are supposed to think.

Now, the idea of Walt and Jesse working together at this point is still a long shot, in my eyes, and it would take some exceptional writing to fill in the gaps to make it plausible. But I would not rule it out.

At the very least, I got the feeling that Walt knew he was being watched.

Interesting blog from the Washington Post about the realism of the meth business aspect of BB:
Here’s what ‘Breaking Bad’ gets right, and wrong, about the meth business

Interesting tidbit:

The final episode of BB is called "Felina"

Fe-Li-Na

Iron-Lithium-Sodium

I read that here in this article which also poses a few other theories. It's a pretty cool idea.

I kind of like the theory elsewhere on the internet that it's a callback to Marty Robbins' "El Paso" in which the narrator of the song goes back to visit his beloved Falina, but is murdered in a revenge killing. Makes some sense given that Mr. Lambert/Walter White has returned from somewhere, now armed with a M60, a ricin tablet, a nasty cough and beard, and a belly full of diner eggs and bacon.

Brilliant. Positively genius. Felina is also the same letters as finale, rearranged. I love the multiple meanings.
