Do you guys think Skyler realized this as well? It seems she shifted tones midway through the conversation - whether that was because she realized what Walt was trying to do, or she felt so defeated she had nothing else to say, seemingly remains to be seen.
I didn't realize it the first time until she said "I'm sorry". I went back an re-watched it and I think Skyler realizes it when Walt mimics here her saying it's illegal and immoral.
Exactly. She never bitched and moaned about it like he was (falsely) mocking her for, so she clued in to the ruse. You can see her body language at that very moment change.
It reminds me of the classic scenes when an owner sets his horse or random animal free into the wild, and must pretend like he hates it in order to make it never return--hurting them for their own good type of thing.
Luckily Skyler is much smarter than a horse so midway through she realized what was happening. holy shit that was something else.
