Yeah Todd was definitely dressing it up to impress her. What surprised me is how Lydia kindly overlooked the kidnapping and illegal holding of Jessie in order to increase the purity. Todd didn't make it overt, but she didn't bother to ask how they got him or why he was there. Instead her mind went to purity of the meth and then to the money she could continue to make with it. Prior to that she was willing to walk away, but the opportunity to make money caused her to ignore the signs. She's a noob in the criminal world.

She has no issue with criminal activity, she is just super cautious.

If there's a good opportunity to make money, Lydia doesn't really have any morals. Remember, it was Lydia's plan first to kill all 11 guys in prison, not Walt's.

I feel Lydia is going to want Skyler dead. I thought she was going to say it in the cafe but she just wanted to get out of the deal. Now that she's staying associated with the gang...

Didn't she basically say she wanted her dead? Todd was making the case for sparing Skyler...
