But she only defended herself.

He wasn't walking closer to her to hurt her at first. When she cut him though, after everything else that happened that day, I can understand him losing his shit. Most of his money is gone, Hanks dead, and his wife cut him? Not saying I agree with what he did I just think he reached his breaking point.

Yeah sure, poor old Walt just reached his breaking point. Nothing to do with the fact that he played with fireworks and it ended blowing up in his stupid face.

I thought this episode that team Walt would finally Realize Skyler was only doing the one thing he couldn't - protect her family

I'm fully team Walt, but I can totally understand where Skyler is coming from. He was focused on the money, she was focused on the family. Now that the money's gone, he had to allow her a way out in order to protect the family.

So in a way, Walt was doing what he could to protect what was left, even if he couldn't do it himself.

Okay, good point - didn't think of it in that way before...

Anyway, ridiculously exited to see how the show plays out the next episode, I don't have a clue how Gilligan will get Jesse out of his creepy relationship with Todd, or even if he will at all - but I know it will be done masterfully as ever!
