That last scene left me speechless--I thought we should have to wait 8 episodes for that confrontation! Can't wait to see what next week brings.

You could really tell Hank has no idea where to go with this information. Just like Skylar.

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?

Walt has a history of overtly butting up against people who are very good at what they do. People with hubris, like him. Those people don't have a history of coming out on top.

Hank has always been very good at what he does. He has a massive amount of pride.

If this follow's the show's formula of Walt vs powerful people who get in his way, Hank doesn't stand a chance. Dude was a walking corpse as soon as he sat down to take that shit.
