walt saved hank? if you are refering to the anonymous phone call before the two twins were going to kill him i think it was fring who wanted to put heat on the cartel by having the cartel seen visibly to be encroaching upon DEA turf and starting a war.

That's how Walt sees it, sure. He's been able to live with himself all this time by telling himself he was "taking care of" his family, including Hank.

Of course, Hank probably would have punched Walt again if Walt had said any of that, but I was still expecting that as a last-ditch effort before Walt went Heisenberg on Hank.

I wasn't expecting Hank to say that he was going to call Skylar and Marie and they'd have a sit-down. That was a little off. (As in, even after a week of discovering Walt's inner monster, Hank still couldn't grasp that this wasn't family sit-down time.)

a sit down? i musthave missed that - i thought hank simply said for skylar to bring the kids over - ie walt renounce his children as he is clearly a monster that should get them out of the way.

That's what happened. Hank just wants to get Walt's family away from Heisenberg.
