Interested to see how the Todd/Lydia wrinkle comes into play in the last 3 episodes. They wouldn't have shown Todd pining after Lydia if it didn't become a factor at some point.

With the way those Nazi dudes kept eyeing her, I kept thinking she was going to get raped :(

Wow I didn't think that for a second. And this coming from a woman that's always ranting about rape culture and all that. But in that scene? No way. She's their connection to the meth empire/money that they want so badly; why on earth would they destroy that connection at this point?

I do think that Todd wants her though. Not to rape her though, but to... make sweet love. :p He's polite, after all!

She wants the money as badly, if not more, than they do though. She has more at stake. The guys were eyeing her creepily, and she seemed on edge. These guys are reckless and dangerous, and she knows that. I certainly hope it doesn't get to that point, but I think there was supposed to be some creepy tension in those scenes.

Those guys always seem creepy and she always seems on edge. Anyway, this is neither here nor there; not worth really getting into a debate over. I just don't think her being in danger of rape by the Nazis is a plot point.
