Yeah, it's a weird spot for the writers. It's the kind of thing that Jessie would figure out but the viewers would not as easily... so they could have added a bit more context. If I were writing the show, when Saul walks out of the room and tells Jessie to wait there and not light up again, I'd have shown an additional scene where Saul tells Huel in privacy to be sure he lifts the dope off Jessie... the same way he lifted the cigarettes, so Jessie can get a fresh start. That may have been a bit too heavy handed for their writers to go with, but it would have made the facts easiest to digest for casual viewers.

Walt is headed for a multi-front war where everyone wants him dead and nobody wants to be allies. Hank wants him dead for his sins against the family, Jessie wants him dead for his sins against innocent victims, I'm sure the drug cartel will eventually want him dead for his sins against his former business associates, I'm hoping Skylar will want him dead for something terrible happening to Walt Jr. and so on...

That's pretty minor. Walt could explain that away as 'Hank just kept saying all his money was tied up or was too hot to access and he needed clean laundered funds to pay out all the medical 'on the books' expenses. The DEA would have a much bigger problem with Hank taking 177K from Walt for any reason than they would have believing the story or wondering why Hank borrowed it exactly. Even if they believe Hank, how does he explain he took 177K in 'illegal gambling winnings' from his brother in law who happens to be a meth kingpin? And Walt didn't even bother getting into the times Hank abused his power to get Marie out of custody when she stole jewelry during the klepto episodes... that's proof Hank operated outside the law in the past and can be corroborated by other law enforcement officials.
