History:

Walt was recently released from prison, where he has been since killing Kate Spencer's mother, Lydia, when Kate was still young. Upon his release, Walt contacted Kate, telling her he was her father, Kate did not believe him, however, despite Walt knowing some personal childhood memories of Kate's, and insisted her father was dead. Walt then began following Kate's son, Ramsey; visiting him in the park, watching him in front of school and attending one of his father's book signings. Eventually Walt kidnapped Ramsey and attacked his father, Peter. Walt turned Ramsey over to Phobia and Dr. Moon, requesting that before they use Ramsey for their own purposes to remove something from Ramsey for him.

The next day, Dr. Moon informs Walt that his myeloma is rapidly increasing and that Ramsey's bone marrow was not a suitable match. After getting angry, Walt calls Kate and informs her that she needs to come to the hidout alone or else he will kill Peter.... and use Ramsey to do it. Later that night, while waiting for Dr. Moon to help him, Manhunter shows up and kills Dr. Moon and knocks out Phobia. Getting upset that Kate sent someone in her place, Walt begins to yell at Manhunter, only to find out that Manhunter is his daughter, Kate. While He and Kate fight, Ramsey walks into the room and Walt grabs him and threatens to kill him. Just then, Cameron Chase teleports into the room and grabs Ramsey away from Walt. Kate then uses the teleporter to teleport to the other side of the room and as Walt goes to follow, Kate smashes the controls, just as Walt is half way through, slicing him in half.
