Seriously, the show is brilliant. The fact that his level of egomaniacal behavior could have just as easily justified the nature of the conversation is proof of that; Walt is so unpredictable right now. I thought he was just being batshit crazy until he does the whimpering version of Skyler on the phone "Oh no wallt you have to stoooopp, it's immoral, it's illegal!!!" They zoom in on Skyler and you can see her being confused.
If you can, watch it again and notice the subtleties in the conversation from Walt. (I just watched it a second time and it was awesome) Pretty much everything he says is in order to construct a version of the story where Skyler was working for him out of fear, being forced to comply. Add in Marie's hope in her sister, and Skyler is pretty much scott-free from a legal perspective.
