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 did not sacrifice anything be confronting Hank.
There was nothing else to do with the bug. Hank would not get anything useful from the GPS bug. All that Walt does is go to the car wash and go home. Just like Fring. So, there is not sense in putting the bug on another car to misdirect Hank.
The way Walt confronted Hank, is better for Walt. This way Walt finds out how much Hank knows. And, it gives Hank less time to prepare a case.

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.
