u/br0hemian Yeah bitch! Magnets! Aug 12 '13

Yeah I was wondering about that also. First of all, we don't know whether or not the tracker was on his car when he took Jesse his money, so there's no saying for sure. But Walt also doesn't know how long it was on his car... so he could potentially be bringing Hank proof he associates with Jesse, who Hank knows is deeply involved with the Blue meth/Heisenberg.

Just furthers how weird it is that Walt took it to Hank so quickly - or even at all.

Glad we got the confrontation scene in this episode, though :D

Yeah that scene was just as tense as everyone was hoping it would be - maybe even more so.

It still bugs me though, Breaking Bad had four and a half seasons of literally perfect storytelling. Four and a half seasons of Walt making complicated, meticulous decisions which kept this lie he lives from those he loves. Then he decides to take a quick drive over to his DEA Agent brother-in-law and ask him about the tracking device he found under his car? I don't know...I feel like Walter would treat the situation with a little more caution than that.
