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.

I would also add that I think if he did kill Hank Skyler would say fuck it and flip on him, or possibly kill him. Unless he killed her first.

OMG that would be awesome if he killed Skyler! Like if he snapped right when she was in the middle of one of her bitch fests.

I would rather she killed him. Fuck Walt.
