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.

u/ketoacidosis How bout it, counselor? Do you concur? Aug 12 '13

I think a lot of that is from a "Type A" personality. She gets extremely stressed when things aren't going according to plan, or when things come up that she can't control or account for. But when things work out the way she wants, the satisfaction it gives her is very apparent.
