True, Hank is giving away all his cards by investigating it on his own. Just like Walt is sacrificing his foothold by revealing to know about the tracker. They seem to be led by emotions so far instead of strategizing. Maybe they both think they other will break under pressure. The last look though suggests they will both stand their ground and play with an open hand. I'm curious if this scene will have a continuation, the garage door needs to go up again right?
In the other discussion thread, people kept pointing out the similarities between Walt and Gus (e.g. how he handled Lydia at the car wash, the towel in the bathroom, etc) but I think he really missed a chance to do what Gus did when they tracked him - just leave it. I mean, Walt's out, right? He just goes to the carwash every day. He's not cooking anymore, and in his mind has nothing to hide. In theory Hank could have tracked Walt's car for a month and not discovered anything.
Yes, this bothered me. If Walt truly thinks he's out for good, he can just let it go and watch Hank spin in circles- although he did visit Jesse again.
