Walt has lost his damn mind. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever been more glad to see a father abandon his daughter… ---

> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > Walt has lost his damn mind. Must’ve had a lot on his mind, I’m surprised Skyler didn’t say “What the hell, who are you right now, you never talk like this”. It was almost like someone else wrote the script for him. Now that I see the minivan pulling up, I wonder if he just had to let a year’s worth of steam blow off. ETA, like everyone else said, if that was so the police heard him saying it, makes sense then. ---

I got the impression that Walt deliberately said all that so that any affection Skyler still had for Walt would be gone. ---

And who wants to explain the dog, that sure as hell wasn’t an accident, but I’m no good at symbolism. ---

It was almost like someone else wrote the script for him. Now that I see the minivan pulling up, I wonder if he just had to let a year’s worth of steam blow off. No, he knew the police were there and said all that to make Skyler look like she wasn’t involved. She caught on to what he was doing after he called her a bitch. I was totally shocked at first too, until I realized what he was doing. ---

Did Walter fit that 55 gallon drum into the trunk of his car, or was it slid into the back seat? ---

So Todd is keeping Jesse cooking so he can hit on Lydia, right? And Walt is assuming Jesse is dead.
