The Scene: Season 2, Episode 1: "Seven Thirty-Seven" Air Date: March 8, 2009 Context: Following the shocking events of Season 1 (the meth lab explosion, killing Krazy-8, and his fugue state), Walter White returns to a tense marriage. The Exact Timing Walter White does not tell Skyler about his lung cancer in the pilot episode. Throughout Season 1, he actively hides the diagnosis from her, using lies to explain his absences (a second cell phone, "going to the car wash," etc.).

Her eventual discovery of the meth business in Season 3 is fueled by the pain of this very moment — realizing the man she pitied and nursed through cancer was secretly manufacturing poison. when does walt tell skyler about cancer
