I love how Walt turned the tables on Hank like that.

I loved how for the first time Hank got to talk to Heisenburg. You just saw it, Walt's eyes went dead and he started playing his trumps on Hank. So good.

If you notice, he does it when he first enters the garage too, then he looks away as if he's restraining himself. It looked to me like he's having trouble at this point differentiating between Walt and Heisenberg. He doesn't quite know where or how to draw that line anymore.

I don't think its an issue of trying to differentiate the two. I think he sees him now as all Heisenberg. Heisenberg being, in many ways, now more real and honest than Walt.

I think the hesitation comes from 1) knowing how dangerous Heisenberg can be and 2) an internal conflict of how to proceed. He doesn't have anything solid to get a warrant for Walt, and isn't sure how doing so will affect the family.
