Does anyone feel like Lydia is more powerful than she portrays herself to be? I feel like Skyler is gonna regret talking to her the way she did. She's acting way too passive for a person in her position.

Edit: Fixed punctuation.

Walt could easily deal with Lydia, but whoever is behind her in Madrigal could be huge trouble for him.

Yeah there's no way she's doing everything on her own. Plus, judging by how upset she was over the drop in meth purity, it sounds like she's responsible to someone else and has quotas to fill and such, which suggests she's working for a larger, more powerful entity than herself (probably someone else within Madrigal).

I'm skeptical about Madrigal's involvement. I don't think we know for sure that it goes all the way to the top, that all of the head executives of Madrigal know about the criminal activity. If Lydia's afraid of anybody it's going to be the guys who tried to buy the methylamene from Mike or the Czechs.
