  Tiernan does have a good point, IMO. But, he has to get caught somehow.

  I've seen some people theorize that Walt had it there on purpose. He wanted Hank to find out. Basically that Hank wouldn't be able to turn in Walt because the meth money paid for Hank's rehab. His boss was canned for being friends with Fring even though he had no idea he was a drug lord. The same would be true for Hank, though he doesn't seem to like his job so maybe at this point he won't care.

  It is interesting that the book was left.
  
  Question is what, if anything, can Hank do with this info? Jesse isn't on anyone's radar, and Lydia probably won't be "around" much longer. Only other route they could go is get him on money laundering if they audit the car wash. But now you're talking about taking down his wife's sister as an accessory.
  
  Hank was obsessed with seeing this thru, and now he's going to have some serious internal conflict about pursuing it.

  That's a nice theory, except WHY would he do it intentionally? He's out and there's really no connections back to him. Hank can go chasing butteflies all day.
  
  I see it going down that way, but I don't see it as having been planned.

  Yes. This would be excellent.

  A series worthy of the name. Sublime actors, all interesting. Great time caustic humor and finally a hero too smooth.
