And because she was vying against him. He did it more so for his own interests than Jesse's.
That still goes to Six Feet Under. Every episode began with something really depressing.
It would have been nice if they went in to what happened with Gretchen about five episodes ago, or even one season ago, but it's a minor plot point at this point.
He took Holly because he was in agony over the dissolution of his family and Holly was the one person left who was still family and didn't hate his guts. And all the stuff about how Skyler needed to be grateful for everything HE has done and following his directions exactly and not toeing the line was to absolve her of her participation because of course he knew the police were listening. It was the last bit of kindness he could do for her. And his face at the end of the phone conversation... god damn, he knew it was probably the last things he would ever say to her.
I got all of that, but that still makes him a dick for taking Holly. He's a neglectful father. Holly doesn't even know him (as much as a baby can know a person anyway) and clearly would rather be back with the parent who has been taking care of her the entire time, mummamma. And yes as I already stated pretty obvious that he knew the police were listening and I think Skylar eventually caught on with what he was saying as well, but her character is beyond pathetic at this point.
This episode was the only one that saw her making a serious stand against Walt's bulltrout and then what does she do? "I'm sorry." Yes, apologize to your abuser. I am hoping she just said that because he had Holly and she didn't want him to get angry and keep her.
