Breaking Bad: How far can Walter White fall?

When Skyler (Anna Gunn) finally learned that Walt (Bryan Cranston) was a meth manufacturer in Season 3, she kicked him to the curb. But after further consideration, Skyler asked to come on board. Besides using her bookkeeping experience to keep the IRS from sniffing around, she also suggested that Walt buy a car wash as a front for the business."Skyler is nothing if not pragmatic," creator Vince Gilligan says. "Of course, there's the old saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You can be as pragmatic and smart as you can be and still be headed down the wrong path with your life."

But how far will she go?Breaking Bad airs Sundays at 10/9c on AMC. Watch the clip:
