***SPOILERS FOR THE CURRENT EPISODE****



You mean the show where Walt offered to turn himself in to protect his family but Skyler said no because she wanted the money he made?

do you really think the dea is going to leave the family alone if walt turns himself in without handing over the money?

Or because Skyler knows that she's an accessory to his crimes and she could go down for it or lose her kids?

Plus she's been going through hell for the past year or more and it'll all have been for nothing if they lose the money.

So from her POV her best game plan is to wait for Walt to die and then she'll be home free with her kids and the money.

As far as Hank knows she was just forced/coerced into it. Given that he personally could attest that she was under extreme stress to the point of drowning herself, I can't imagine that he wouldn't believe her.

Yeah, but who knows if the DA would be so keen to let Skyler off. Hank isn't in charge of that.

Right now Hank has a one track mind. He's focused on getting Walt. Skyler might end up being collateral damage.

It was shady as HELL that he didn't want a lawyer there. Skyler isn't stupid. She wanted a lawyer there to protect herself. I think that first and foremost, she doesn't want to lose her kids. And then additionally she'd like to keep the money too because well, she's been going through hell because of Walt and it'd suck if it was all for nothing. If they lose the money and the car wash, she is completely screwed financially. So I can see how the money is tempting to her.

That might not matter. It'd be up to the DA. Even if she didn't end up in jail that would a horrible ordeal to put family through.

It's not about the money for her. Sure, it's a nice perk, but no. It's about keeping her family in tact and not completely ruined. It's why she couldn't just leave (because Walt Jr. would never forgive her and likely wouldn't believe that his father was a murderer and a drug lord), it's why she couldn't turn in Walt (because that'd ruin her immediate family as well as Hank), and it's why she's standing by Walt now (because she's in deep and she ain't getting out of this unscathed even if she does turn herself in).

If Marie wouldn't have tried to take Holly, I think things might have turned bit differently. She might have turned on Walt if she felt Hank and Marie were on her side, but Hank is rattled and out for vengeance and now Marie is too (after she realized Skyler knew that Walt was possibly the cause of her husband's near-death) so Skyler can't count on their protection. But when Marie tried to walk out with her baby, that indicated to Skyler that her family would not be safe if she told them anything, because that anything makes her an accessory to a lot of bad shit.

Already way to late at that point for Skyler to get clear of that legal shit storm.

you mean the part where Skyler knew that if he turned himself in, she would not only lose all the money, but it would become clear to the cops that she covered his ass, laundered his money, and was therefore an accessory to his crimes THEREFORE she'd lose her kids, go to jail, lose the car wash and (I believe) the house because they were paid for with dirty money, never be able to get a job in her field again (she's a BOOKKEEPER ffs) and be under scrutiny by the cops for the rest of her life?
