Now, Nancy and Walter are very similar characters in a lot of ways. These are two people who were living perfectly normal boring lives until they were struck by tragedy. Nancy’s came in the form of her husband’s death. Walt’s came from the revelation that he had deadly and near incurable cancer. Both characters had a family to consider, a house to keep up, bills to pay and no money to do it with. Nancy had to figure out how she could keep her kids happy, healthy, and in their own home without the sole source of income in the household. Walter had to figure out how his wife, son, and soon to be born baby girl could make it without him. In a way, Walt is Nancy’s husband, just with a bit more lead time. So what do they do to provide for their families? They sell drugs.
