OK, when Emwearz said "I hope Marie dies when she gets the call that Frank died" he meant to say Hank and not Frank. It was a typo or a brain fart or whatever. When you said, "Who's Frank?" he decided to break your balls and say, "Hank's older brother."
So, in the next episode, who thinks....
That Hank will die? I personally don't think he will. When they all started shooting, I thought they were all dead. But being that the episode ended right in the middle of the gun fight like that, I'm not so sure he dies. Here's my reasoning...
I just don't see them starting out the next episode picking up right there and Hank dying. Not that it can't happen, but I don't see them making a huge character die right in the beginning of an episode. If he was gonna die there, I think they would of killed him and then have the episode end. Or possibly get shot and then end, with us not knowing for sure if he would die or not.
What they could do is start the next episode a short while in the future, then flash back to the gun fight and see the outcome, with Hank and other people possibly dying. But I don't see this happening either. Hank and Jesse are way too important of characters to die in a flashback.
So if I had to guess, and even though I really don't know what the fuck will happen, I'd guess that Hank and Gomez might surrender. They're gonna run out of bullets. But then again, looking that the two scenes that take place in the future (Walter with hair) it would make sense that Hank dies. If not here, then at some point soon. If he's free and clear with Hank, then it'll be him against the KKK dudes, which would explain the need for the big ass gun in the trunk.
But, my guess is the next episode picks up right where this left off. Hank and Gomez surrender, and/or Walt stops everything. Walt gets them not to kill Hank and Gomez (he clearly doesn't want them to die). That just leaves Jesse. Walt doesn't wanna kill Jesse, so I'm unsure exactly what would happen. Possibly the KKK dudes just take Walt with them and leave Jesse, Hank and Gomez there.
I agree that if Hank were to die, it would have happened tonight. But they certainly deceived us into thinking he would. He got his man, everything was going fine, he called Marie, they said their I love yous.
But my prediction is as follows.
Gomez will die. There has to be a body count with this many guns. I'll assume that a couple of the supremacists will die as well. The shooting will be stopped somehow, possibly walt getting a chance to intervene. Being entirely outnumbered, Hank will surrender Walt to the supremacists. Keep in mind that Walt definitely goes underground, whether by faking his own death or simply going into hiding. This is his only chance. If either Hank OR Gomez survive, and the supremacists back off (not likely), Walt would be taken in. One of them must survive, in order for them to bring the evidence against walt to the dea. Also, there's no way both Gomez AND Hank will die. They simply would not allow the death of Hank to water down the death of a secondary character.
Walt has a bargaining chip that has been clearly set up, and that is that the supremacists NEED him alive to show them how to cook. This bargaining chip allows him to get Hank and Jesse out.
At this point Walt goes on his way, they'll destroy Hank and Jesse's phones and means of transportation to escape.
Then again, Walt would have to dig up the money and take it with him, eliminating Hank's evidence against him.
So in summary, I have no fucking clue what will happen.
I could see next week's episode starting with Hank's death if they were building the entire episode around the fall out of that event, rather than his death just being a last minute surprise part of last night's episode. I could see the next episode actually beginning AFTER the fight, with an overhead camera spiraling down on the dead body of Hank, then it pulls back a bit as the Nazi guys walk into frame surrounding Hank's corpse and looking down at him. With that classic, Breaking Bad style, tense, disturbing music playing as the camera zooms into Hank's lifeless eyes.
Damn, that's pretty dark now that I think about it.
I've resisted the idea that Walt is pure evil. I've felt that one thing he still valued this season was family and we saw that last episode. He hated ordering the hit on Jesse and he didn't want the nazi guys to kill Hank. He's not completely far gone...yet. I don't think we ever see Walt go full on evil before the series ends. He's not Gus. Instead we may see a broken man who realizes he has lost everything in the last episode, possibly right before he dies in some way. Or maybe he gets out scott free and has all his money in the end...but everyone he knew is dead and he still has the cancer coming for him, but he no longer cares because he has nothing to live for anyway.

Good point. I was still wondering why Walt was babbling about all that over the phone...
And holy cow, blowing through red lights while on the phone -- death wish much?
Yeah. What was shocking to me about all that was just how much Walt cares about his money.
It was also one of the few moments in the show where things seemed really, really unrealistic. I felt that it detracted a good deal from the other stuff going on in that scene...
