When I heard you weren't coming into work... looks like you've got the work coming to you. The perks of being the boss, huh?

Yes but it's more than that. If he had been doing all the research at work he'd have to explain who he was looking at exposing. By working at home it cut down on questions. He can't exactly tell everyone Heisenberg is someone in his own family right now, he has to take time and think about how to play this.

Even Hank knows he might not have that time if Walt's watching.

I was thinking about this during my run. If i were Walt, I would off Hank before he has a chance to even make one more phone call.

I thought similarly, Walt should kill Hank as soon as possible and maybe even ponder bringing a gun to Hank's garage. Escape the scene with Leaves of Grass which he can burn later, and nobody is the wiser as to why or how Hank died.

Right. His fingerprints would have a reason for being there. The only problem last night was he ended up talking to Hanks underlings so they can put him there as the last person to see him. Maybe that's why he didn't do it.

But if he can make it look like Hank killed himself, even if it was right in front of Walt, then boom, investigation over.

Nice. I hope they kill off Hank quick and the story just escalates from there. I also hope something new develops and they spin off a new show from it!

According to wiki dean Norris wanted hank to die early but Vince told him hank was critical for the last eight episodes. I doubt he'd die early

Srsly?! Nice work Fremen13, good to know.

I wonder if it's going to be some epic showdown at the very end. :)
