The comment about Skylar's despair rang true. I was thinking as she chased the truck, "that is how a mother responds to someone taking her child away!" (The reason many of us NEVER believed Susan Smith's BS story.) Anna is another actor who did a terrific job tonight.
Looking forward to a debriefing during "Talking Bad".
Skylar drives home with Holly and Flynn. Flynn is pissed about the whole thing. They get to the house. See the pickup truck. Skylar wonders who it is. They go in and see Walt. Walt tells them to pack and get out with him RIGHT NOW> They ask about Hank. Where is hank? Blah blah blah.
Skyler gets a knife. goes after Walt. They have a knife fight. Flynn gets involved. Breaks it up. He starts to call 911. Hank gets outta there with Holly
I was amazed that, with every law enforcement official looking for Walt, he was able to sit on the side of a street with bags (and a barrel full of money) and NOT be noticed....in broad daylight. I don't know how long he was there, but it had to be awhile since Holly was dropped off at night, and he was picked up during daylight...

Great stuff. I just can't believe people didn't understand Walt's call.
Jesse said no one else knows but Marie knows plenty and it can't be that easy to raid a cops house and steal stuff right after he is suspected to be murdered.
Why did Skylar believe Marie's story at the car wash at face value and confess everything? Marie could have easily been playing her. She should have said I want to speak to Walt or Hank before I tell you or Flynn anything.
When Walt took his baby with him I told my wife he was taking the baby to help get Skylar off the hook, she said I didn't know what I was talking about and he took the baby as a hostage. I love being right once in a while
If a mother grabs he baby and runs out of the house would they do an Amber alert?
I'm watching Talking Bad....and now I know why I never watched it. Thought I'd give it a chance after such a good episode, but what a waste of time....mostly fluff and silliness.
I feel like an idiot that I didn't get Walt's intention with that last phone call (until reading this thread), that he was trying to cover for Skylar. I just thought he had gone off the deep end. Pretty brilliant.
Anyway, the episodes just keep getting more and more intense! I can't imagine what we'll see next. Well, I can, but it will never be as good as what they've in store, that's for sure.

I've seen the last 3 episodes, and all I got from it was they say "we'll come back to that later", "we'll have more of that later", but they never do, just a lot of commercial breaks and selling of stuff on the website.
I did enjoy Samuel L. Jackson a couple weeks ago though.
The shots earlier in the episode of the phone and the knife block and Skylar answering it. Then back to it again same shot - knives and phone, but this time with Skylar getting the chef's knife out.
As she was walking towards the camera I said out loud "which is she reaching for.. the gun or the phone? Which is more dangerous??"..
During the rolling around with the knife, I was so afraid.. but not directly of someone being stabbed, but more by the show using such an over-used predictable cliche.. I knew they wouldn't but I was afraid they just might (have someone stabbed). Glad that didn't happen.

I kept saying "Noooooooooo....." (in a harsh commanding way) at Skyler during the whole scene.. I totally agree, she shouldn't believe anything Marie says (although maybe it's such an inevitability in her mind that all the needed was for Marie to say it to believe it).

I didn't either. I mean, we had just seen Walt tell Jesse about Jane (harsh!!) moments after he asked Todd's uncle to finish the actual job he wanted him to do. (harsh!)
Walt gets home and when Skylar and the kids arrive, tells them to pack up and go. They refuse him. Then, Skylar turns on Walt. Goes after him with a knife. Actually slashes his hand. Walt goes after her. Instead of just getting the knife away from her, it really seems like he is about to kill her (harsh!!) until Junior gets involved.
So, yeah, I don't think it was too weird for me or others to think Walt was just going all total Heisenberg on everyone now. I mean, they REFUSED him. And Skylar tried to kill him. I think it was clear Skylar was no longer content with the situation.
I think under normal circumstances, in normal TV shows, we all would have picked up on Walt's final phone call.... but there were so many super intense things all happening at once (Hank dead, Jesse knows about Jane, Jesee being tortured, Walt kidnapping Holly, Walt Jr finding out, etc, etc) that that is a lot to process in the background while the show continues on pounding us with more stuff. Admittedly, I didn't fully catch on to the full meaning of the call, but I did feel a twinge of "um, Skyler would never say 'I'm sorry' to Walt like that" but I just didn't have enough mindspace to fully process that thought and the phone call. It was brilliant TV, but Vince sure didn't give us 10 seconds to think about a scene before dumping another huge scene on us.
