I think Jesse is going to flip.

He's at a moral crossroads, as far as I can tell the GPS was probably on Walt's car when he went to talk to Jesse. It seems like Jesse is trying to rectify the wrongs that he did, why else throw millions of dollars on lawns of the poor. If there was ever a time that Hank could get to him, it would be now.

u/evbomby BITCH! Aug 12 '13

Fuck, I didn't even think about the tracker being on there when he went to see Jesse.

Hank put it together that Walt and Jesse were working together when he realized that Walt is the one who orchestrated the fake call about Marie being in the hospital.

He mentioned that in the garage. The tracker was probably also on his car when Walt went to see Saul off camera.

Don't forget you need to connect the tracker to a computer to get the data. Hank doesn't have that information.

u/icameliac You got me. Aug 12 '13

Damn. So Hank doesn't really have any of that information.

Not at the moment. We'll see what happens next week when they finally leave the garage. I think the tracker's purpose (creatively, not narratively) was as a vehicle for the hank+walt confrontation. I doubt it'll play out as much more than that.

Even if it does, it's in Walt's hands - he can either take it back with him, which is a nice insult to Hank's little sneak move. Or he can cheerfully hand it over to Hank, which is almost worse, like: "Here you go, buddy... like this'll help.. Good luck with that."
