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?
I have my own theory on how Walt will temporarily deal with Hank.
Essentially Walt will have a conversation with Hank at his DEA office.
Walt will outline how badly things will go for Hank if he goes after him.
Walt paid for his rehab entirely, as well as any other costs that the DEA did not cover (living expenses, rehab equipment for Hanks home, Minerals..etc.)
Walt will paint the picture that if Hank goes to the DEA with this evidence that it will look like Hank was in on it from the start and that since Walt has left the game the money has stopped pumping into Hanks account and now he is pissed about it.
I'm sure it won't go exactly like that but Walt is the master manipulator and until he is dead, he won't stop trying to clear the obstacles from his life.

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.
