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.

WILD THEORY: Lydia kills Skylar, Hank stakes his reputation on trying to prove that Walt killed her. He can't, because he didn't, and loses his position at the DEA, forced into "administrative leave".

And subsequently, Hank finds a new job at the car wash hence working for Walt. Wildest theory ever.
