10 Greatest Unspoken TV Plot Points

10. Marie Nearly Got Skyler Arrested - Breaking Bad

Every episode of Breaking Bad developed the overarching story as well as each of the main players. Even though there was a lot of plot threads, the show made a special effort to tie up every loose end, no matter how minor.

Except one.

While Skyler is having a baby shower in Season 1, her sister, Marie, gifts her with a tiara for her nephew-to-be. When Skyler tries to return the present to the store, she learns the tiara was stolen. Although Skyler tries to tell the staff that her sister was the one who took the tiara, they attempt to detain her. Fortunately, Skyler manages to leave by pretending she's going into labour.

Now, anyone would assume Marie's kleptomania would serve as a source of contention between her and her sister later in the series. But that's not the case. Even though Marie's illegal activities nearly resulted in her heavily pregnant sister getting arrested, the two never discuss the matter.

In Skyler's defence, she's has to deal with the revelation that her dying husband is a drug lord, so she probably doesn't have time for a sibling rivalry. Nevertheless, it's odd why this issue was implied if the writers had no intention of following through with it.
