I re-watched the beginning of the season 5 premier and I think the cancer is definitely back. He has a bit of a cough in the bathroom of Denny's and takes some prescription medication immediately. The scene of Walt going in for his exam near the end of the last episode seems to further plant that seed.
Can someone remind me about the Lydia and Ricin scene? I must've missed her almost taking it...
After she left, we saw a close up of him picking up his hat and the vial of ricin was sitting underneath it. It appears that once she gave him the names, he was going to poison her somehow.
She never came close to actually consuming it.

After Walt's conversation with Lydia about expanding the business to the Czech republic the camera reveals that he had the vial of ricin hidden under his hat.
The implication was that he was going to use it to get of Lydia, but then changed his mind when she proved to be useful in expanding his empire.
I'm always amazed the things you guys noticed. I didn't even notice the ricin, I must have looked away thinking that scene was over, just went back and watched it.
I did however notice the BRT route 301 heading downtown at the start of the meeting with Lydia.

Yeah, you guys definitely noticed more than me. I only noticed Lydia looking much hotter than in any of the previous episodes!

The pacing in this "season" seemed all wrong to me. They had something like three major heists/hits planned and executed in single episode arcs this season? The magnet caper, the train robbery, and how knocking off the nine were each contained within their own episodes. That's three out of the eight episodes. I think Gilligan would have slowed things down a hair in past seasons and built up the suspense a bit more (although the train robbery scene was top notch).
Also, Hank strikes me as the kind of guy that would come over to your house for dinner and drinks and poop in your bathroom all the time. I'm surprised it took until now for him to flip through the reading material on the toilet and notice Gale's writing.
Probably does it so often, that he has already read through all of the White's National Geographics and US Weeklys on the toilet.
"Reading material is so weak in here that I have to read... poetry? Blech..... W.W...? HOLY ####" *plop*
So tell me Hank, what is your next move, exactly? I mean specifically?
You gonna perp-walk me through the station like Popeye O'Doyle? Arrest your wife's sister for money laundering, leaving our children wards of the state?
Tell me, Hank, how do you plan on explaining that all your physical therapy was paid for with drug money? How will you convince all your colleagues that you haven't been in on it from the beginning?
As I see it, you were also one of the last people in contact with Hector Salamanca just hours before he blew up Gus Fring, and he specifically asked for you. Who's to say you didn't give him the bomb so he could take out Fring on my behalf? Or should I say our behalf?
Please, tell me Hank, what is your brilliant plan for bringing me down without destroying your entire life and everyone you love? Because I'm dying to know!

It's an interesting hypothetical argument, but if Hank would have him and Skyler arrested, wouldn't that suggest that Hank wasn't aiding and abetting them?
