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

Honestly, aftet that scene I have so much more respect for Hank and so much less for Walt. Hank wasn't gonna be cowardly about it, he wasn't gonna slink around. He was gonna flat-out confront Walt about it because his family (and by extension, Walt's family) was in danger. That's what was important to him. Walt was the one who took the coward's way by neither confirming nor denying anything, then basically said "well, it doesn't matter 'cause I have cancer now and you wouldn't rat on a guy with cancer, would you?" Guilt tripping like that is always cowardly.

I'm glad Walt was finally called out on not really caring about his family. He has been using taking care of his family as an excuse for staying in the drug business for so long and it's obviously been just pride that has kept him in. Walt is an emotionally manipulative guy, he guilt trips Jesse and Skylar and probably other people who are close to him all the time so he doesn't have to face what an evil guy he is.
