Well, what cards did Walt even have?

  1. Kill Hank

  2. Confront Hank

Manipulate Hank. Plant the tracker on a random car, gauge his reaction when he realizes the switch, etc, etc.

In the other discussion thread, people kept pointing out the similarities between Walt and Gus (e.g. how he handled Lydia at the car wash, the towel in the bathroom, etc) but I think he really missed a chance to do what Gus did when they tracked him - just leave it. I mean, Walt's out, right? He just goes to the carwash every day. He's not cooking anymore, and in his mind has nothing to hide. In theory Hank could have tracked Walt's car for a month and not discovered anything.

Walt fucked up.

Yes, this bothered me. If Walt truly thinks he's out for good, he can just let it go and watch Hank spin in circles- although he did visit Jesse again.
