### The Knife Fight in "Ozymandias" In the highly acclaimed Season 5 episode "Ozymandias," the White family dynamic completely shatters. After Walter returns home intending to flee with the family, Skyler realizes that Walter's brother-in-law, Hank Schrader, has been killed. A physical altercation ensues, with Skyler attacking Walter with a kitchen knife. Walter Jr. steps in to shield his mother from his father, eventually calling the police and claiming that Walter attacked his mother. This is the ultimate breaking point for the family, but no one is killed in the encounter. ### The Final Phone Call In the penultimate episode, "Granite State," Walter attempts to contact his son from his hiding place in New Hampshire. He calls Walter Jr. at his school, trying to arrange a way to send him money. Instead of accepting, an emotional Walter Jr. rejects his father, screaming at him and telling him to "just die" before hanging up. This emotional rejection marks the final conversation between the father and son. ### Walter's Willingness to Harm Children Another reason viewers might wonder if Walter Jr. was in danger is Walter's history with other children. In Season 4, Walter poisons a young boy named Brock Cantillo with Lily of the Valley to manipulate Jesse Pinkman. While Brock survives, this act proves that Walter is willing to put children in mortal danger to protect himself. However, Walter never directs this ruthlessness toward his own children. ## What Happens to Walter Jr. at the End of the Series?
In the series finale, "Felina," Walter Jr. is living with Skyler and his baby sister, Holly, in a modest apartment, having moved out of their family home. He is still attending high school and is unaware of his father's final actions. Before Walter White dies in the final episode, he visits his former business partners, Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz. He uses the threat of hitmen to force them to accept $9.72 million of his remaining drug money. They are instructed to place this money into a trust fund for Walter Jr., which he will receive on his 18th birthday. Because the money will appear to come from Gretchen and Elliott's charity, Walter Jr. will be able to accept it without knowing it came from his father's illicit empire. The last shot of Walter Jr. in the series shows him walking back to his family's apartment from the school bus, observed from a distance by his father, who is watching him one last time before his final confrontation with the neo-Nazis.
