I can't really remember all of the cold opening a few episodes ago where it was Todd and his uncle at the diner...but it just seems to me there is someone holding the strings there, and it hasn't been revealed yet. I think Walt's phone call to Todd saying "I need your uncle to do one more thing" was a bigger reveal than people are catching onto.

Edit: I actually just re-watched the opening from last episode and it seems like Walt doesn't know about the hit on the meth lab, but Todd leaves him a message about the change in management. Then it ends with them driving the gear into new mexico.

I dunno. This show is messing with my head.
The hit on the lab was because the Arizona gang was cooking for Lydia and she was sending it to the Czechs. But it was only 68% pure, and Todd's last batch was 75%. Their 68% is not what they are paying for. She went there to "check" on their operation and explain that the Czechs weren't happy with the quality.

So it wasn't really a hostile take over...more of a change in management. I don't think Walt is running things but still wants/needs to know what's going on.
