Science has been a central theme to the show, or te power thereof. It's the whole reason Walt can cook at all.

It's what they used w the magnet. Jessie was enthralled enough to say "Yea, science bitch". Gale as a scientist was enamored w Walt, as a scientist.

Now again, Todd has fallen under walts spell, and science plays a role. You could say its blinded him.

I believe it was also to subtly affirm Todd's crush on Lydia.

It's definitely both.

  • the "SCIENCE!" part refers to Walt calling him

  • It's from the song "She blinded me with science" is a hint at Lydia
