Holly White

Holly White. Walter and Skyler's infant daughter, and a huge part of Walt's Journey. Per usual, the theme of colors becomes very relevant to this post. Ever since we as B.B. watchers have made the connection that pink equals bad, we've been scared for baby Holly. Why? She's always in pink. Almost every time we see Holly White, she's in her pink baby outfit as if its supposed to be some kind of cute color scheme while I'm screaming at my TV for Holly to watch out for her life. Vince Gilligan had everyone believing that Holly was in some type of trouble, especially when we jump to season 5b, specifically the episode Granite State. The White family comes home to Walter packing their belongings and telling them he can't explain now, but they need to get out of there. Little does Walter know, his son was informed just 15 minutes earlier that his father was the New Mexican scarface of meth. Not only that, but Skyler is fully aware that Hank had Walter in handcuffs and assumes the worst. Skyler slashes Walt with a knife, and a wrestling match for the weapon ensues all but 5 feet away from Holly. I know I'm not alone when I say this, I was about ready to shed tears because sure one way or another that knife was going to find its way plunged into Holly's chest. I was wrong, but Vince Gilligan's genius never fails. Allow me to elaborate. Walter speeds off with Holly. Later, he's shown changing her diaper. Walt encourages Holly to say "Dada", but instead, Holly starts crying for Skyler, saying "mama". Right than and there, Heisenberg dies. Walter White is all that remains, leading to his selfless act of calling Skyler acting as Heisenberg to de-criminate her for any acts she had done. Those tears he cried; those were the tears of Walter. He then leaves Holly in a safe place to be found, and proceeds to finish his mission. Some may argue: If Heisenberg is dead then why does he want to kill jack? I can answer this. There is nothing left for Heisenberg to defend. No empire, no meth, no turf. That is Walter White taking revenge on a man who killed a member of his family. You need to remember Walter has always been a flawed character, even before Heisenberg, and vengeful is definitely a word to describe him. So even though we all think Holly's constant pink attire was there just to throw everyone off: wrong. There was death, it wasn't Holly. Holly was bearing the signal of death, and the one who died, just with the words "mama" instead of "dada" killed Heisenberg off forever. Had he still been alive, Elliot and Gretchen would each have a bullet in their skull or ricin in their system, something along those lines, instead of a ingenious scapegoat for Walt to get what he originally wanted: for the money to get to his family when he's gone.
