I think it's cute that Wendy gives a callback to the s1 Hank/Walt Jr. scene, and clams up because she recognizes Hank from that time. Biiiiit of a stretch that events would go down like this, but then if it adhered strictly to reality, we'd have an extra short show on our hands. I can't say I'm in love with the Hank character, but he's definitely got a personality that sells every scene he's in. That and he makes an excellent foil for Walt's drug antics.

I can't wait to see how the inevitable confrontation goes down between him and Walt when all this circling around the drain drama reaches its inevitable peak. I imagine it can go a handful of ways. Walt might die because of it and it's the last scene of the show. Hank might die from it and that fuels further drama...probably a season 3/4 kind of thing. Hank might get incapacitated from it and be medically/physically/locationally unable to express the truth. Hank might somehow accept it, and while this one feels super unlikely, there is some small precedent with Marie's shoplifting antics. I suppose it also might be that Hank just never finds out, or does so in a way that a confrontation would be impossible.

Point is, Hank is a narrative time bomb, and I'm eager to see it go off.
