But Walter himself cannot escape his past and the reawakening demons inside of him. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| The Woodsman / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Mary-Kay falls squarely under this. Under that sugar-coated smile hides a manipulative personality. She never stops snooping around Walter with truly unhealthy fixation about him and then unleashes a hate campaign against him that almost turns into a lynch. Never mind Walter doing his best to start a new life with a clean slate, she deliberately ruins his chance to do so, with a flimsy excuse of "because everyone should know". Her method causes nothing but trouble in the workplace as a result and if anything given how Walter hasn't done anything to any of his/her co-workers that she knows about, the problem should more be with her boss for hiring him in the first place. But she creates an enemy out of a guy who wasn't truly an enemy at that point. | |

The Atoner | |
| The Woodsman / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: Walter. He really wants to pay back for his past deeds. Going by a vision of himself getting the beating while attacking "Candy", he hates himself for what he did. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| The Woodsman / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: Carlos is the only person who didn't turn his back on Walter, because Walter was the only one who didn't turn his back on Carlos when the latter married Walter's sister. The relationship between Vicki and Walter starts thanks to this. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| The Woodsman / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Walter is a former child molester, so depending on the viewer's opinion, he can be either an Unscrupulous Hero with vigilante tendencies, or an outright Anti-Villain with his temptations toward minors. | |

All Just a Dream: Walter is often shown in situations involving kids. Most of the time it's revealed that he's daydreaming and fighting against his dark side. | |
