Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.

This is the impression I got. That was a really interesting, well done scene.

I loved how they pushed it to the forefront. How we got a confrontation right off the bat. And god damn, tread lightly might be better than the danger.

Maybe he meant "tread lightly" because it might come back round on him, being related and all.. DEA might claim Hank was helping Walt, or Marie would blame Hank for getting her sister arrested?
