really good point about the office part of it, i forgot about that to tell you the truth. I think she did it to get Walt out the house, but she didn't think of the repercussions of her actions in the office, this could be really interesting
Thing will get so uncomfortable for her around the office she will have no choice but to quit. She will be one of those women who will drive other women out of a room simply by entering; she even made a reference to Ted about the Scarlet Letter. Skyler also knows she's got a bag with $500K sitting in her house. Who needs to work when you have that kind of jack lying around, particularly when your chemist husband can get more.

Walt better "transition" with Saul and Mike if he wants his money clean and his life.

Walt will come around, don't worry, whether he wants to be back in or not, once in the drug game always in the drug game.

"Heisenberg" isn't going to be outdone by that junky punk Jessie Pinkman!

btw, man wtf does "heisenberg" mean? I know they are referrin to Walt, but I never really took the time to look it up.

In chemistry, Werner Heisenberg came up with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Where the Principle states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and the exact velocity of an object at the same time. However, the effect is tiny and so is only noticeable on a subatomic scale.
Now I am assuming that Walt was working on something along this line that Gretchen and Elliot stole to make millions.

I wonder if the Gretchen and Elliott back story will ever come into play. Vince Gilligan said he expects the show to be four seasons, and I just don't know how they'd have time to dealve into that with all the current day plotlines as good as they are.

Rumor has it next season may look back at Walt and Skyler getting together and Walter's younger years.

Nah. The problem is dealing with a show with actually half decent writing is that you try to read into things too much. Heisenburg was probably just the first name he thought of because it is a core topic in basic formal education of chemistry and the writers liked it because it sounds a hell of a lot better in this context than Bohr.

You're probably right.

I thought it may have been too subtle.

Agreed.

yeah, that's probably why they did it, gotta agree myself.

From the first season episode. “Crazy Handful of Nothing”
“I was Heisenberg today. Do you remember about him? No, probably not. We have already established that you never did pay attention in any of my classes and learned absolutely nothing from my entire lifetime of work and study.”
“Some say Heisenberg was a man conflicted. Driven by ambition and the promise of power by the Nazis, he turned from an eager student under his mentor Neils Bohr into . . . well, let history decide the worth of a man. But he left us with something – many things really. The Uncertainty Principle. Basically – and I won’t bore you with the physics – but basically and in its most simple language, it states that you can never know for sure where a particle is or where it is going.”

See exhibit B on evidence for reading too much into things.....
Pretty sure he is talking about the general field of chemistry rather than what he worked on specifically. I doubt what he found and Gretchen et al made millions off of found it's way into intro Chemistry courses in HS
Or that Walt would be eager to bring it up.
And how would you turn expanded knowledge of the Uncertainty Principle into a multimillion dollar company anyway? I suspect the company is biomedical related, because that is the easiest field for someone in chemistry to make insta-millions on an idea and because of that flashback convo/discussion with Gretchen that they had while reading the lab printout and talking about chemical composition of humans.
