I get how reading that inscrpition could make Hank go "hmmm" but its by no means proof. In real life Hank would probably just chalk it up to a coincidence and an impossibility and move on. What am i missing?

Why would Walt have a gift from Gale when Walt told Hank he did not know him? It's like the Fredo Corelone/Johnny Olla thing. Then there were the inscriptions relating to "W.W." in Gale's notes. Hank's mind is going back to season one with the stolen lab equipment from Walt's high school; he is going to put things together sooner rather than later. Regardless, I would imagine the Walt Whitman book is inadmissable in court, etc.

Hank has the list of everyone involved. He knows lydia, mike, jesse are out free, but he has no connections yet. mike dies in the same week that everyone else on the list dies. all except for lydia. dea will come after her hard. jesse is still the only random a-hole tied with the meth, but not part of gustavos list.

if walt was serious about being free of the meth, then there will be no evidence to show. no shipments through lydia, no methylamine traceable to cook the meth.

so the only ways walt could be found is through saul, lydia, jesse, skyler, and todd. skyler is going to cover for walt as she thinks he is free and he controls the money. jesse wont give him up unless he loses the money. lydia wont give him up because she has a legit business to operate. so it leaves todd as the main suspect on who gives up heisenberg. the two easiest ways for him to get caught by the dea is to get caught moving the methylamine, or to process the cook incorrectly and have a house blow smoke, or burn down. the most logical way he gets caught is by trying to pass off lower grade meth as heisenbergs product by the drug dealers. this would be the worst situation as there is no escaping the dealers.
