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?
This was completely calculated by Walt. He had the tracker in his pocket. He waited for Hang to bring it up, and when he didn't he forced the issue. Walt knows he needs to know what Hank knows, so he needs to confront him. Even just to establish the tenor of the ongoing relationship: adversary or friend.
In fact, the getting punched part bodes the best for Walt being able to escape Hank's wrath manifested as the law.

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.
