As he pores over the paper trail, slowly piecing it all together with his new suspect in mind, it's a decent selection of "previously on" moments for us too, as he holds up pictures of Gus Fring, Hector Salamanca, Gale, dead kids, bloody crime scenes and a gas mask, and then watches the fuzzy CCTV footage of Jesse and Walt stealing the barrels of methylamine from the warehouse back in season one. Hank's officers deliver box after box of data to his garage. Gale's "other favorite WW" is Walter White. The scene gives Hank time to catch up with what we've known all along, the camera following his finger methodically matching the lettering, and bringing home just how much he doesn't want it to be true. Instead, we get an indication of how fast these final episodes are likely to be moving, as one of TV's great tortoise and hare chases draws up to the finish line. For a moment, it looked like the crash was serious, and Walt would be getting away with it again – but not this time. The realisation that he's finally found his man is overwhelming, and he has a panic attack as he's driving home. He can barely see straight as he breaks up the family meal at Casa White, makes his excuses and leaves, taking Walt's incriminating copy of Leaves of Grass with him. The wait is over: Hank is finally out of the bathroom.
