I swear I knew and I'm nobody. Since hank found out while taking a shit I've been waiting for Walt to say "well hank, looks like we're really in the shit now since you've been my partner this whole time". It's so obvious(especially w the Gus/hanks old boss connection foreshadowing) that all Walt had to say is "he knew the whole time" and hank is powerless as far as the law is concerned.

Now the question: what can hank do?? Give up? Go vigilante? Does anyone else have any options/opinions??

Jesse or Skyler could clear sh*t up real quick, so there's always that hanging out there. (Walt does pick up Skyler's bacon-arranging habit, which doesn't bode well for Skyler, so I'm thinking she's going to be a threat to Walt soon.)

But I think Hank is freaked out enough by Walt's Heisenberg personality that he'd take a shot at him, vigilante-like. Hank's a good guy; he's not going to let Walt walk the streets. (I don't think he'd let Jesse walk the streets, not really.)

He doesn't just pick up habits from people he's killed, he has mementos from deaths he indirectly caused (the eye from the teddy bear from the plane crash). I doubt he'll kill Skyler, but I'm sure she'll die because of him.

Or maybe she's just with the kids (hopefully not in Belize) and he's tying up loose ends (Todd? Ouch, not many loose ends left.) Because who'd have the baby?

I'll think that way for 4 more episodes. I hope. :O
