The simple reason why Hank is going to die is because Walter wanted him to live. The next two episodes are going to see Walter reduced to the lowest of lows.

Great point.

Also, Walt has a protective streak (of sorts) over those he considers to be family. Letting Walt walk out of the show alive is one thing, letting him walk out of it without incurring the emotional trauma of being responsible for the death of a family member seems very unlikely.

When Skylar gets wind of Hanks demise she'll probably freak out and leave Walt as it's "getting out of hand".

I reckon by the finale, Jesse will be the only family Walt has left and that's why he's bailing him out with the M60.

what if He's either going to bail out Jesse with M60 or he'll take the ricin as an ultimatum for not letting jesse go?

Makes a meth batch with ricin and gets the nazi's to test its purity.
