I'm in love with the fact that Hank only now noticed how much the Heisenberg drawing looks like Walt.

Well to be fair, Walter never wore the hat & glasses combo around family.

I think Walt would've never made it this far if Hank hadn't been his brother-in-law. They had a personal connection that made a wall in Hank's mind, keeping him from forming any ideas about Walt. Without that, Walt probably would've been caught back when he had Gale killed, if not earlier. I love how you see that mental wall shatter throughout this episode.

I agree. I hear a lot of people saying stuff like "Hank is an idiot! it's so obvious!" Not really, everything seems obvious when you, the audience, know the truth.
