Two men are in the refrigerated Pollos Hermanos truck this time. The truck is stopped and the driver is killed. The two men inside the truck are armed with heavy weapons and are ready to fire back. This time, the cartel men are smart and use the exhaust fumes to choke the two men inside. They lock the door from the outside to keep the men in. They eventually try to shoot their way out, but it's no use. Three cartel men casually eat the driver's lunch and watch as the men die. They then storm the truck and look for the correct pail, the one that contains the meth. They then head to their car and leave.
Skyler is looking up the press releases on the death of Gale and listening to Walt's message over again on the answering machine. She wakes Walt and gives him some coffee the night after his outburst to Hank. Skyler wonders why Walt would ever say those things that he mentioned last night. Skyler starts to put two and two together: the phone call and Walt telling Hank that this Heisenberg was still out there. Skyler thinks Walt is in big trouble. Skyler thinks that some part of Walt wants Hank to catch him – for all of this to be over and done with. Walt retorts that he is not in danger, he is the danger and he is the one that knocks. He then goes to take a shower. When he finishes, Skyler is gone.
Walt meets with Bogdan at the car wash and he hands over the paperwork. Bogdan warns that being the boss is tough and it takes hard work. The boss has to be tough, Bogdan continues, you have to know how to say no to people. They head downstairs and Bogdan hands over the keys. When Bogdan leaves, Walt takes the first dollar earned from the car wash (framed) and cracks the glass. Walt then heads over to a coke machine and spends it.
Meanwhile, that same night, Jesse and Mike head over to a diner. Mike orders while Jesse settles on coffee, clearly dealing with the effects of withdrawal. Mike says to eat something and offers the food from his plate. Jesse does eat. Mike gets a call on his cell phone and he gets up to leave. Jesse asks if Mike needs help, but Mike says he does not.
Back at the White household the next morning, Walt Jr. is wondering if he should call Skyler as she has not reappeared yet. Walt Jr. wonders why Skyler is still mad, saying it can't be about gambling or the cancer. Walt says that it has nothing to do with that, it's about choices he has made. They start the drive into school, but take a detour, to a car dealership. Walt says it's time for the car and the result is a Dodge Charger. Walt heads into work and finds Jesse there. They talk about what Jesse has been doing. Jesse says that he is a second set of eyes for Mike during the pickups. Walt actually wonders if it's a setup, when Jesse saved Mike. Jesse can't even believe what Walt is saying. Walt now thinks all of this is about him – everything Gus is doing is to make Walt ponder his actions, grow paranoid, and feel helpless. This theory is proven again because when they go into the lab, Jesse is called from the phone and asked to help elsewhere, leaving Walt alone again. Walt, angry that he has to clean the entire lab himself, goes upstairs and tries to get some of the Hispanic laundry women to help him. However, the ladies stop short of entering the lab area, that is, until Walt offers to pay them money. The three ladies eventually agree and Walt leaves them to clean right in front of the camera while he enjoys some coffee.
Skyler is driving in the desert with the baby. She turns onto a road leading to the four corners monument, the one where four U.S. state borders meet. She flips a coin as if deciding which state to cross over to. She drops the coin over the state line, but slides the coin back to New Mexico instead.
Mike tells Jesse that they need to watch a house. A couple of people in there are supposed to be sellers but they have been using the product instead. Mike also says they are armed and using, a potentially dangerous combination. Mike decides to wait it out, until the house people make a move first. Jesse decides that he's a "buyer" and goes to the front door. This doesn't work so great, so next he pops the trunk and gets a shovel. Jesse heads over the yard and digs. One of the guys (Tucker) notices and comes out of the house and Jesse tricks him into continuing the dig while Jesse slips inside. Jesse finds the man inside, a really heavy user of the blue meth armed with a shotgun. Jesse finds himself held at gunpoint, but the meth user hears something and turns, giving Jesse the opportunity to knock him out. Mike steps out from the far side of the room, happy with the progress and looking around the room.
Walt continues his cleaning situation the next day but Tyrus later takes the three women and informs Walt that they will be going back to Honduras. Walt is crestfallen. Mike and Jesse head to a diner again when Gus shows up to talk to Mike. Mike informs Gus that the men who stormed the truck gave the product to those housemates. The message on the package lid said, "ready to talk?" Mike offers to hire 10-15 people and take out the cartel but Gus refuses, saying to set up a meeting instead and see what they have to say. Outside, Gus sees Jesse and compliments him on the work he is doing with Mike.
Skyler finally comes home to Walt and Walt Jr. Walt Jr. tells her about the car and then goes for a quick drive. Walt tells Skyler that they are all safe. But Skyler soon berates the car that Walt bought, saying that it does not fit with their story at all. Skyler wants it to go back tomorrow. Walt does not agree and says that she'll get blamed for it. Skyler knows she'll get blamed for it, but she believes that she needs to protect this family from Walt's choices.
