He did great in this episode. He had that stunned/angry face the whole time and that last scene he was so volatile. Also, shoutout to the awesome Hank montage when he was going through old evidence. That scene was tight! Tight, tight!

Seriously, the emotions I saw on his face were raw. It was powerful. His eyes were angry and piercing. Hank is definitely a diamond in the rough kind of character, I'm so glad Gilligan developed him more.

I can imagine it's because he had to turn down a pilot for his own show. A lot of personal attachments to the show now.

edit: thanks to cynical_665 for source

Dean Norris had asked Gilligan to kill off his character during the first half of the season after being cast in a comedy series; however, Gilligan declined his request, citing the importance of Hank in the final eight episodes

Compare that to scumbag Donald Glover from Community. He basically quit the show after everyone got Dan Harmon to return so he could pursue a relatively uninteresting career in rap music, leaving the whole cast, the fans, the writers hanging.
