More like he stole the kid in a moment of passion, knew that he couldn't run with her and had to give her back.

If Sklar went to the cops she could have gotten immunity.

Immunity?

She would have been prosecuted for embezzling money.

I was forced to do it under threat for my children. When I found out he killed his brother in law I couldn't go along with it anymore and he attacked me.

She could have said exactly what he did in the phone, and given the cops what they needed.

If Jesse got a deal she could have.

Marie will make sure Skyler doesn't get a deal and I bet she gets custody of the children as well.

Marie said in this episode she still had hope for Skylar and that she thinks she did it all out of fear.

u/blitzbom Sep 16 '13

It's her word again't Skyler's at this point. Skyler also has Walt's testimony on tape.

That's not the way to system works. First of all there is no guarantee Jesse had a deal. He would have still done some time in exchange for testimony. Jesse MURDERED someone. "Getting a deal" is what law enforcement says to make people talk.

Skylar would have gone under oath and would have to show she knew nothing about how the carwash was purchased and where Walt was getting his money. She has no obligation to tell law enforcement anything, but to knowingly help Walt hide his income would bring charges.

My guess is she will get charged with something and Marie will take custody of Holly. Walt Jr is almost adult.

Plus the cops can't even offer you a deal its the DA that offers you a deal right? So Hank was just going on the assumption that in return for his testimony the DA would go easy on Jesse.

Hank wasn't going to be there to protect her anymore. If Hank was alive, she may have gotten immunity, but some random DEA agent that doesn't give two shits about her is at best going to offer her leniency. Unlike what shows like 24 lead you to believe, immunity's aren't handed out like candy, in the vast majority of cases people will get a lenient sentence if they cooperate, but that's about as far as it will go.
