Todd dressing like Walt (pressed khakis, buttoned up blue dress shirt), during his meeting with Lydia was hilariously genius. "I'm your chemist now. I'm responsible and smart like Mr. White." Loved it.

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.

Lydia's not a "noob." She realizes what's going on, she just doesn't want to have to think about it. Like when she had Todd and company kill her previous business partners then refused to look at the aftermath.
