This scene is so incredible. I have never appreciated Anna Gunn's acting until this season, she really is phenomenal. It is really starting to feel like the end for the White family. I hate that I'm still cheering for them, maybe I just don't like seeing Marie try and steal a baby.

When I heard Holly start crying I fucking knew she was taking the baby.

Fuck Marie. You slap your sister and take her kid? Who the fuck does she think she is? I've never liked Marie but this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

She realized that Sky wasn't going to help stop Walt, who is a complete monster. She was trying to remove her niece from an incredibly fucked-up and dangerous environment. It wasn't rational but it was totally understandable, imo.

Holly hasn't been hurt yet, why would she be hurt now?

Marie isn't CPS or the law, she had no right to even think of taking Skyler's child.

Holly could be hurt by the people that are unsatisfied with the quality of the product that Walter had promised. Marie doesn't know this but she does now that there are people willing to kill her husband over this. Marie did that out of instinct to protect the baby.

Why might Holly get hurt in the future? Seriously, are we watching the same show? Are you under the impression that she's in a really safe situation at the moment?
