True. I guess the better way of saying it is that Skyler is good at acting like everything is normal and she has nothing to do with Walt's activities until the light is shined on her then she is willing to what it takes to save her own ass.

I think she is just buying time. There was that argument they had where she finally said to him that she would do what it takes to keep the kids safe and that eventually the cancer would come back and essentially set them free of him. It wasn't long after that when she decided to help him out. She is in survival mode and may be just hoping the cancer comes back and kills Walk then she and the kids are free, and if she plays her cards right she is free and has a boatload of money.
