If you can recall the last thing Skyler says to Walt in the pilot: "Walt, I don't like it when you don't talk to me. The worst thing you can do is shut me out." And that's exactly what Walt has been doing up until this episode. Skyler is obviously one of the more moral characters on the show, save for some moments of selfishness under the stress she's been under, but the fact of how absent Walt has been to her throughout the series, I think her affair with Ted was a long time coming. Is it the smartest move on her part? I don't think so. Does it feel right? No. But she feels immense hurt by Walt, so I understand her in this moment. It's easy to feel more for Walt since he's the main protagonist. And still, even if it's through misguided intentions, Skyler having an affair in no way compares to cooking meth and killing people. You can say it's all for the family, but keep in mind, Gretchen and Elliot offered to pay for Walt's treatment (and then some) for the work at Gray Matter that he's rightfully earned. If family was Walt's main concern, he would have swallowed his pride rather than employ himself in a dangerous criminal underworld. Man, I love how much this show makes you think.

I may not love Skyler as a character, but never, not for one moment have I felt the hate for her that so many people did. Yes, what we see from her in this episode is not taking the high road. Far from it. But let's not forget, good intentions or not, Walt is a criminal and a murderer. I actually thought it was pretty damn generous of Skyler to promise her silence on the condition of a divorce. And now, she effectively feels like a hostage in her own home because of yet another piece of generosity: protecting her son from the truth, which of course tragically fuels more of Walt Jr.'s own resentment towards her. Awful situation all around.

[@MLennholm]

The people who outright hate Skyler are people who have a serious inability to emphasize with other peoples' situation, can only understand things in terms of simplistic Disney-esque _good vs evil_ and hate Skyler simply because she is at odds with the person the show presents as the protagonist. It's the same deal with people who hate Hank and people who hate Chuck in BCS. I saw an interview with Vince Gilligan himself (who was very much sympathetic to Skyler) where he, on the topic of why so many fans hated Skyler, discussed Skyler's behavior. He described her as being completely powerless, since her desire to protect her children prevented her from doing anything against Walt. A fact Walt exploited. She was in a helpless situation and the only thing she could think of to stand up for herself was to insult Walt by cheating on him. It had nothing to do with trying to get Walt to want a divorce. It's kinda sad how Gilligan's whole premise for the show, which was to see a protagonist turn into the villain, is completely lost on many of the show's fans. The fact that so many people still root for Heisenberg by the second half of season 5 is almost a little scary.

[@rocketcon]

2:53 Ouija is actually a board game sold by Hasbro, with the name being trademarked in the late 19th century. It was used for party games for many years, with the instructions stating that players are contacting their "inner selves" and it wasn't associated with ghosts and the supernatural until it appeared in the 1970s movie The Exorcist. So it's not that unlikely that one of the former residents would have brought it with them to play at the retirement home.

[@ghadrackpotato960]

It's just interesting to see the show work.

[@jmwild1]

👨👨📱💰🍕 Nice Chewie mask Steven. :) Skyler cheated on Walt in a legal sense, but as far as she's concerned, the relationship is over (she kicked him out, and he came back). Walt won't agree to the divorce, and she's not willing to rat him out for Walt Jr.'s sake, so she had spite sex to attempt to push Walt into wanting a divorce. No bluff this time. She's losing it obviously. "I fucked Ted" is one of my favorite lines of the whole series.

[@serenity4eva89]

I've found that a not small portion of the people who watch BrBa, get down on Skylar for the choices that she makes and while I don't think she is angel by any means, I think the hatred and the almost equating of her sins to Walts to be disproportionate in the extreme. She is trying to protect her children from a meth manufacturer, and I'm not convinced it should matter that it happens to be her husband and the kids father. Walter White is selfish! The anti-hero to beat all others, for sure but I have never felt sympathy or empathy towards him. Walt is the bad guy in this play, no ifs ands or buts. And I love him for it, I do. But I feel like Skylar deserves to be treated a little better. Oh, and this was not a dig at you guys... just an observation I wanted to share and it works for this particular episode 😊

[@hectorgarza8540]

I wouldn't exactly call Walter the bad guy, everyone is literally making a move on him first, if Walt was the bad guy he would start ordering hits on rival drug dealers plus he would have gotten rid of Jesse a long time ago.🤣

She was ready do destroy him so why would Walter save her life? Later on jesse made things worse by starting a war. Does Walter have problems? Yes he does, but to completely blame him and call him the bad guy is just plain ignorant and not seeing the bigger picture. Walt is just reacting from the actions of others.🤣

"That door won't close because Walt won't let it" Walt poured his heart out about all the illegal things he did. That wasn't heart warming. She made it known she wasn't okay with him being a criminal. She took care of him after his surgery for weeks even though she knew he was a pathological liar. She waited until he was well enough to be on his own to leave him. She refuses to let her son think ill of his father and is taking all the blame from him for the separation. When there were literally axe murders in the house last episode because of Walt. She was trying to divorce him and he was forcing himself back into her life. They would be separated if Walt would grant her the divorce. The only reason it's considered cheating is because Walt won't let her out of the marriage. I really don't blame Skyler at all. She was pushed to her limit by Walt. Walt thought he could just forcibly move back in, show her a bag of money, and everything would be okay. I'd snap too if I were her.

[@m3driver245]

I see what you’re saying but I think the show runners wrote this show with the intent of making skylar unlikable. They could have written it in a way where she stopped paying the house bills, saved her money and found a 2 bedroom apartment for her and kids in order to be away from him. They didn’t write it that way though; instead they wrote her doing something deliberately only to hurt Walt in the most emotionally devastating way possible without solving any of the problems she professes to care about. They wrote her to be a vengeful not sympathetic...to me at least.

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Skylar can force divorce. It only takes one person to push it. She can get the house. Get a court order through legal separation, to have Walt removed. She chose not to do that. That is on her. The moment she did not proceed with the separation, she obligated herself in the marriage. She cheated. Her intention was to hurt Walt. Walt never intended to hurt any of them. She is completely in the wrong. She is accountable for her choices. Period. She is even using Ted. How whesome is that?

[@pearljammies]

He also nearly raped her early on. He’s being a controlling, manipulative predator. It feels so oppressive to me when I watch the show from her POV. She is feeling like he’s taken away any power she had within their life & their marriage, so she exerts the bit she has, over her own body, to show him a piece of the hurt he’s caused her. Totally understandable.

It's *very* easy to rationalize bad and evil when we can relate to the character and empathize with them. We feel for Walt and Jesse no matter what they do because we understand their backstory. We don't see anyone else's backstory or get inside their heads, especially the many dead bodies laying in the path for that "dirty" money that Skyler doesn't want on her conscious or to be tied to. She didn't ask for any of this so why should she just accept it because *he* made a choice for her and the family. Is that okay? This show does a very good job of allowing us to think and see different point of views, if we want to. There are reasons to be pissed at everyone, not just one character because they are not our favorite and still alive. *Cheers*

Put yourself in Skylar’s shoes. No matter why Walt has done what he’s done, he betrayed her. He’s not the man he was. Now, she’s betrayed him, but she has been devastated by all of this and she’s afraid and she feels backed in the corner. Judging her isn’t fair when you think about AAAALL of Walt’s transgressions. Has she killed someone? Has she put crystal meth on the streets? No, it’s all her HUSBAND’s doings. I really see Skylar as a victim here. Maybe she hasn’t made the best decision by having an affair but she’s hardly the bad guy here.

[@george5954]

Skylar needed a win over Walt. He humiliated her the entire episode, the police scene for example is pure mental torture for her. She needed to give him something back to throw his smug demeanour off. Walt's awful awful decisions and terrible attitude aren't excused because he claims it's all for the family. He has a way of rationalising all his awful decisions, like in the season opening where he downplays the terrible effects of the plane crash because he doesn't want to admit it's as bad as it is. Skylar's under immense stress, and her husband is not the same man she married. As much as he claims to have the family's best interests in mind, Skylar IS his family, and he's still tormenting her for his own ego and pride. I think a lot of Walt's character boils down to him needing control, and he's very controlling over Skylar, making her feel powerless - so I think she just needed to get some control back in her life. I'm not saying she's perfect, in a way she is quite similar to Walt because of this, since she's fighting fire with fire. Their relationship can be seen as a series of attempts to try and get control over the other one. I'm just trying to explain a bit of her motivations :) love the reactions

I, like you guys, was blind to how manipulative and evil Walter really is on my first watch of the show. But I would really hope you guys try even a little to see it from Skylar’s POV. Walter has changed/done so much from Season 1 and now because his actions have personal consequences he wants to suddenly go back to the doting father and husband? Its terrible. Skylar has been there the whole time, pregnant and scared with a husband with cancer, with money troubles, with a disabled teenage son... like c’mon she is by no means perfect but don’t let your walter shades blind you.

[@SweetSoulBrother0]

Walt is a POS but to be clear Skylar chose one criminal over another in this episode considering what Ted is doing at this point. From the start she manipulated Walt into doing the chemotherapy despite his choice to want to die. She made Walt have to revisit the old wounds with his former friends that became rich off his work that made him the miserable pathetic guy he was. She was already flirting with Ted before deciding that she had had enough of Walt. Then there's just tormenting her children, not allowing her crippled son to see his dad and smoking with and around her newborn child. She deserves being disliked!

The only bad in that situation is that she'd be liable if things were uncovered, that situation is no where near comparable to Walt's unless you see all crime as equal. The situation with her convincing Walt wasn't manipulation also, nor from hey perspective was it a horrible thing, since without Walt they'd lose their home, shed lose her husband and get children would lose their father and they'd be out of luck financially since she couldn't support all the if them, Walt mentions this same thing in this episode, do of course she wouldn't be okay with hey husband dropping dead within a few months time... She also had no clue about Walt's 'old wounds' with his friends, that from the sound of it, HE caused by walking out on Grech. Not to mention that revisiting old wounds and facing his proud is a lot more preferable to him getting into drug dealing, ruining hundreds of people's lives, murdering people, leaving his wife and child to wonder where TF he was for MONTHS and inviting dangerous people into his life that could harm him and his family. Protecting his proud is top priority in your mind though, right? While also believing she shouldn't care about her own. She was flirting with Ted when she believed Walt was cheating on her with Grech. Flynn also wouldn't be mad at his mother or want to see his dad if he found out he was a drugging dealing, manipulative and egotistical murderer. He wouldn't be able to see his children at all if he were in jail, but she's willing to put up with the disrespect from her child she's taking care of and her family so Walt doesn't end up in prison and so her children don't hate they're father and know he's a horrible man.

Okay the first time I watched Breaking Bad, I HATED Skylar. This time.... I think I understand her a bit more. She fucked Ted in order to feel like she had ANY control or power over her own life. AND she got to hurt Walter, which she really wanted to do for how badly he's hurt her and trashed their marriage. She wanted to stop being the victim and start being in control of something. AND she got laid. AND she is testing her own ability to be "bad" (break bad?) because on some level, she realizes that if she is going to live with Walt, she'll have to come down to his level in some ways. Otherwise she is just the victim who is trapped. Walt kind of deserved it. But as Steven points out, this is unlikely to help the situation in the long run.

She was Spielberg’s casting director, cast Jaws & discovered Reese Witherspoon among other things. She passed from cancer not long after this episode was shot...she hadn’t let anyone know she was out of remission. :( 2. They got the same tortoise for this episode as the other. His name is Otis, bless him. ❤️🐢 3. Dean has a black belt in Tae Kwan Do. He’s been in a movie with Jet Li, and got the same feeling from him as with Keith Jardine in the bar scene, that they could easily kick your ass if they wanted to (though they’re super nice) 4. Giancarlo Esposito (Gus) doesn’t really speak Spanish! They got him Rosetta Stone 😆 5. Vince & Michelle are very much on Skyler’s side/in support of her.

She spent the entire season plus upset because of Walter and lost the only bit of power she had in setting boundaries when Walter forced himself back into the home.

She has so little power over anything that's happening to her. Sleeping with Ted was something she could do and know that it would hurt the man who's controlling her life.

Hey guys, this is the first time I have to disagree with you. The time has long passed when Walt could justify his wrong decisions with good intentions, since Jane died actually. His family and cancer are understandable reasons why he started all of this, but that doesn't give him the right to destroy other people lives. When comparing Walt's and Skyler's sins, I can't see why it is ok for him to do the wrong things, but not for her. Don't get me wrong, cheating on your husband, not ok, but I can understand why she did it. Walt's problem is that he doesn't see himself as a criminal, just as a hard working family man, when in reality, he is both. His selfworth makes him think he is more deserving of a normal happy life than these real criminals like Jessie. He brought this dangerous world into their family and he won't give her divorce. So many women would be so pissed in her situation and they would tell kids everything and that would drag them in the middle of divorce. But not Skyler, she still puts her son first , and that's a big sacrifice on her part, letting your son think you're a bitch for leaving your husband. Walt made her feel powerless and angry, and all she wanted is to hurt him. What's so unique about this show, is that the main character is a villan. I don't think I've ever seen a show where the lead has so many negative characteristics and at this point of the show I didn't root for Walt at all. Even Dexter had more morals than Walt, lol.

“Holding Walt back” a lot of others felt this way, but whereas for us this is a show, and we want to see Walter achieve criminal greatness, it’s her real life, where her husband is a murderer meth drug lord who constantly endangers their family for his own selfish reasons. You sympathize with him because he is the protagonist, but when you stop seeing Skyler as an obstacle in Walt’s way and instead as a person, you’ll probably sympathize with her.
