“Anna Gunn is outstanding throughout this one, as Skyler is more afraid of her husband than ever (and also more tied to him). The look on her face as Walt whispers “I forgive you” made me shudder. And she’s even better in that chilling scene in Ted Beneke’s hospital room, where Ted has lost everything and yet is still so terrified of what Skyler’s associates can do to him that he pledges his silence to her. Skyler is horrified by what’s happened to Ted, and filled with self-loathing for her role in making it happen, but she has to play this part, dammit, and she does it, even as she hates herself all the more for doing it. ” (x)
