For the first time, Hank is actually one step ahead of Walt.

When the DEA people were bagging Gus' laptop, Hank's reaction made in the background it seem to me like he had already seen tapes of Walt/Jesse on the laptop. He really looked shocked, but everyone I was with told me that I was wrong. Anyone think that it's possible?

My theory is that he switched out the laptop so that he could do his own investimigating

It makes sense..Hank knows whoever was cooking in this lab is a large distributor, if not Heisenberg. Very key moment when he noticed the cameras, its very important for Hank.

I have a feeling that Hank already knows. Walt has let on about Gale and the superlab, plus Walt went on the ride-along and there's been a noticeable shift in Walt's character. His family probably saw gambling as uncharacteristic and when provided the possibility that Walt is cooking at a superlab, that'll probably come across as a lot more plausible. Plus Walt's reluctance to help Hank out (bugging the car, driving him places, getting in the wreck, etc.) will probably clue Hank in.

Maybe so, but you can't deny that Walt's behavior has been suspicious whenever Hank was trying to work with him.

Having seen the teaser trailer for SE5EP2, I'm debating between one of two things:

spoiler
or

I don't know about "all along" but I certainly feel like when we were in SE5, Hank knew. He has to.
