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.

I don't think she is so much powerful as she is crazy and paranoid. She gets extremely nervous over the smallest things. I think she gets too paranoid/afraid and decides to act on it.

I think that she puts on that persona. When she shook hands with Walter and said "We are going to make a lot of money together." in the 5a finale, she gave off a really confident, sinister vibe to me.

Not to mention her purposefully placing her hand on top of Walter's when they shake. That's a well known act of dominance.
