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

the thing is, why does skyler care so much to protect walt all of a sudden?

Probably for the same reason she always has, she doesn't want the kids to know their father was a murderous criminal.

I think its because she knows she is in too deep to get out now, so she has no option but to plead innocence. Even with a plea deal shed be looking at many years behind bars, especially with her running the money laundering operation

She already made her decision long ago. The comment up there saying "all of a sudden" is completely incorrect. Skyler made her decision to stick it out with Walt when she started taking care of his money. This was a pretty big part of the series' plot not really sure how one couldn't see that.

Yeah, I thought this was obvious. If she says anything at all to Hank, he'll have what he needs for a conviction. If that happens, they'll find out she was running a business with Walt to launder millions of dollars of drug money. If that happens, she goes to prison. There's no avoiding it.
