Guess that answers the question about why the neighbor lady is in total shock in the flash forward.

In an odd way, I am still a fan of Walt. Like others have noted, he holds so much power right now that he almost has to succeed for anyone else to.
I feel like his reason for coming back in the flashforwards is to either save his family/Jesse, or take down Todd's family. I would have a hard time rooting against him in that situation, as he would finally have one last shot at serving justice before his inevitable death to cancer.

Obviously at this point Walt isn't going to win. Walt just lost his family, and that and the money were the whole point of everything that he did. It was a great episode, but it's too bad it ended that way. Skylar totally overreacted to Marie when she showed up at the car wash, she should have kept her mouth shut and waited for everything to play out. That includes not telling junior. Hank's death is on Jesse not Walt. Jesse and Skylar both brought down the house of cards, not Walt.
Definitely.
Really, the most appalling behavior out of Walt was the fight with Skylar and Jr. When the screen gets blurry it seems to represent Walt's judgment being clouded by rage/delusion, but he keeps pulling out of it.
Also, what does everyone think Saul's involvement in this whole situation is? Anyone else see the clip they played right after the episode ended? Sounded like Saul was talking to Walt about what he was going to do to save his family.
That isn't Walt's fault. Skylar is the one that grabbed the knife and tried to attack him. His reaction was self defense.

I've thought maybe a staged life insurance policy. Probably something much more dire. Bodies will pile up next week.
Walt came after her after she grabbed the knife, then he turned it on her. If he leaves then, she wouldn't have used the knife on him.
I agree with some of the things mentioned above. However I think the phone call says alot. Many people think it was a ploy and that he knew the feds were listening and became demonsterous to paint the picture of a horrible husband. Looking a little deeper I think Walt finally realizes the pain he's put them through. When yelling at Skylar he was fighting back the tears for a reason. I think he acted the way he did so his family could begin to heal. And by healing they need to fully realize the man he is first.
Clearly Jesse is going to live and Walt obviously got into the van with the guy that was set up earlier to clear Jesse's identity. Between SOA this week and now this my mind has completely been blown.

Walt has saved Skyler and the kids (obviously would be in protective custody after this), but lost them forever. He still has one job as their provider: get the money back. That's why he didn't divulge what happened to Hank, he doesn't want the police to know about the Nazis. He's got a score to settle.
I am convinced now more than ever he comes back to the house to get the ricin for himself. He plans on taking the Nazis out, and wants to be sure if it doesn't pan out he isn't captured and put into a position where the Nazis can threaten Skyler and the kids in order to force him to cook for them, after he had given the family up forever the way he did in tonight's episode. I think he believes Jesse is dead, and will only find out at the end of the finale, that by killing the Nazis for the money, he saved Jesse too.
Jesse will see to it that Skyler and the kids get the dough, just like Mike taught him to.

I didn't get it at first either. I thought he was just losing it as Full Heisenberg. It took until he was visibly crying as he fought through the call, coupled with Skylar's unexpected responses, that made me think it through and figure out what was going on
I would really like the idea of Walt fighting the Nazis to get the money that he believes should be for his family and then at some point running into Jesse and having the ability to make some major decision that impacts Jesse. In fact I would hope for the series to end in that scene - a beaten-down, broken, and minutes-from-death Walt face to face with a captive, weak Jesse. I have no clue what I would want to see as the resolution, but I know I want to see it.
