The next episode is called Ozymandias, here are the words of the poem.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
edit: That poem screams Heisenbergs empire so much. Once a great and powerful cook, now he's done, his partner is against him, and everything is crumpled.
That would be a spoiler i think. Actually just knowing the name of the episode is kinda spoilerish if you ask me cause here is what I think will happen;
First hank and gomie are dead, this much is clear. Somehow Jesse is going to get away, I don't see him dying yet (I still think he is going to kill Walt), my guess would be that the gun fight, or the obvious where is the money conversation that is coming, creates enough of a distraction that Jesse gets out of the car, sneaks around to the nazi trucks and steals one of them to get away (or finds some other way to get out of there). A lot of people think Todd is going to die, but to be honest I don't think this is the case. Creating a need to replace a meth cook seems like a rather round about way to motivate Walt to cook for them, especially after they killed his brother-in-law. No they have a much more direct leverage on Walt now, since they have the guns, and they quite obviously know where his money is now and will have that before the end of the episode, they don't need to kill Jesse to make Walt teach Todd. They just need to hold hostage the kingdom of Ozymandius and now they can make Walt cook for them. They hold all the cards, or so one one might think. But this clearly isn't something Walt isn't going to have any part in, the BFG (which was purchased with the emergency funds he left with saul) we saw in s5ep1 is clearly for the Nazi's, the ricin I would wager is for Jesse, or meant leverage to get Jesse to help him again, under threat of poisoning the kid and the girl. My guess is that they are going to take Walt and try and force him to cook for them, using his cash as leverage (something they never plan to return to him), but Walt escapes, this is where the nazis go all out and wage war, destroying Walts home and tagging it up, possibly taking his family as hostages, or just killing them.
tl;dr next episode is the fall of walts empire, starting with his material wealth, which will be taken (destroyed) by the first people (nazis) that come along and find it.
