During a family dinner at Hank and Marie's (Betsy Brandt), Skyler and Walter tell everyone the gambling addiction story, but Hank and Walter Jr. turn out to be impressed by it.
Later, Walter is shocked to learn that Hank is investigating Gale's (David Costabile) murder, Hank believing that Gale was the elusive Heisenberg and expressing regret that he was not able to arrest him. Walt assures him that Gale was just a novice, opposed to the idea of somebody other than him taking credit for his work. When asked by Hank to read about a chemical process written in Gale's lab notes, Walt notices a Walt Whitman poem and a dedication: "To W.W. My Star, My Perfect Silence." When Hank chuckles at the initials matching Walt's, Walt shrugs it off with a nervious laugh and explains that "W.W." refers to the poet. When Walt asks Hank about the investigation, he learns that the only leads are some fingerprints and an eyewitness spotted at the scene. Hearing about this evidence, Walt is spooked and worries that the police will connect Jesse (Aaron Paul) to the murder.
