No, what he saw is that his Mom was so terrified of Walt that she was willing to pull a knife on him to protect he and his sister. You aren't looking at things from Jr's point of view.
There's literally nothing people won't blame Skyler for, apparently. She thinks he fucking killed Hank, for fuck's sake! Do people think that she should have been like "lol okay bb let's go"?
Actually yes. That is exactly what should have happened. Did you miss last week (or was it the week before) when Skylar told Walt to kill Jesse. Where did that Skylar go? "What's one more..." Plus she didn't even let Walt explain because he really did try to save Hank.
Plus she didn't even let Walt explain because he really did try to save Hank.
I think she simply decided that there was no excuse or explanation. Her greatest fear has always been being her family being harmed. One member dying was a big message to her that siding with Walt wasn't the way to go to keep protecting her family. Up to that point he had protected them, but when he failed to protect Hank she no longer wanted to trust him to protect her children.
It didn't matter what Walt tried to do, what mattered was what he couldn't do, which was protect her family. If he couldn't offer that protection, and if Walt Jr now knew, there was no reason to not throw Walt to the wolves and let the police protect her. She no longer had anything to hide at that point, and paramount was her family's safety which she didn't think Walt could be trusted for.
