She had Todd go to the house and threaten the baby and Skyler. She appeared to be unsatisfied that they were only verbally threatened and not physically harmed or even killed.

He had no way of knowing she threatened Skyler. And Just being a loose end wouldn't explain why he was so catty with her on the phone. He seemed genuinely vengeful.

skylar told him that the masked guys specifically told her never to discuss the woman she met at the carwash.

i guess you could wonder whether that was his plan for the ricin even before meeting skylar, though

I like the idea I read somewhere that he planned on killing Jesse along with the nazis but his paternal instincts kicked in when he saw that he was enslaved and beat down. It was his act of redemption.

There was no good reason. The show creators just painted Lydia as a contemptable character and they knew fans would cheer when she got pwned. Plus they had to give Walt SOMETHING to do with the ricin, and there was really no one else left for him to use it on.

Loose end that could've gotten Skylar in trouble if she ever got caught.

Has murdered in the past, and would probably murder in the future, so he's probably saving some people.

He doesn't have to feel too bad, since she's a killer.

she had walt kill 10 of mike's solid quiet professional gangsters because MAYBE they would rat. while walt didn't know of todd's visit to skylar until after he poisoned lydia, walt knew lydia considered leaving his family alive (relatives of a dead dea office head) a "half-measure."

this actually is a legitimate flaw with the final episode. seems the writers originally had scenes in a different order whereas it would be completely logical for Walt to poison Lydia after his meeting with Skyler. as written it made no sense, or at least wasn't accounted for with any dialogue

It’s been awhile, but wasn’t Lydia working with Todd and Uncle Jack to produce meth?

Killing her was basically tying up a loose end and ensuring Lydia didn’t seek retribution against Skyler, Walt Jr, etc. after Walt took out the skinheads, right?
