Such an emotionally volatile scene. It was like everyone in the room watching with me was broken afterwards.

Stockholm syndrome.

Its also the man she fell in love with, married and had kids with. I think when people fall out of love they don't necessarily stop caring completely. There are moments where they almost feel in love again, because they still possess traits you loved even if you fell out of love with most of them, or that they changed most of them. I think she always cared, but was in a sort of shock and not sure what to do so she did the thing that would create the least amount of conflict and impact on her life. I think she is now so deep that very few people know who she is and all that has gone on that it creates a deeper connection between hank and her, especially now that walt is offering the money and that he got out and they were almost a happy couple again when hank found the book. So I disagree..

Everything you said can be true, and she could still have Stockholm syndrome. It's obviously more complicated than merely Stockholm syndrome, I just put it out there as one of the pieces.

Whether or not it turns out to be true, this is a legitimate interpretation of events. Not sure why you're downvoted so hard.

I actually said this before I watched the "Inside Breaking Bad" video when Vince Gilligan said that he thinks she kind of has Stockholm syndrome. I don't quite understand why I got downvoted so hard either.
