Plot

Members of the Mexican cartel successfully ambush a Los Pollos Hermanos meth smuggling truck, taking one container after killing the driver and guards. Skyler (Anna Gunn) realizes that Walter's (Bryan Cranston) voicemail he left earlier declaring his love for her and the family was actually meant to be a last message to them. She realizes Gale's death is related to the meth operation, leading her to consider calling the police due to the danger it presents to their family. Walter becomes furious and declares himself the most important person in the meth operation and that he is "the danger". His fury causes Skyler to flee the house, taking Holly with her. She considers escaping to Colorado but ultimately reconsiders.

Walter receives the keys to the car wash from Bogdan, and avenges his past insults by making Bogdan leave behind his framed first earned dollar, which Walter uses to buy a soda. Walter tells Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte) he is not moving back home and buys a new Dodge Challenger to cheer him up. Jesse (Aaron Paul) returns to the lab and Walter expresses doubt that Jesse was hired to help Mike (Jonathan Banks) due to stopping an earlier robbery, considering the whole thing a ruse by Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) to create a wedge between Walter and Jesse. Jesse is later called away by Mike before he can help clean the lab. Infuriated, Walter pays off three women at the laundry to do it, but feels guilty as Gus immediately deports them back to Honduras.

Jesse and Mike scout a house selling the blue meth from the hijacked truck, but Jesse grows impatient and tricks one of the meth users into letting him into the house, where he knocks out the other. Mike notices the message "Ready to talk?" written on the stolen container in Spanish. Gus meets with Mike at a diner that night and decides to try and negotiate with the cartel; incidentally, Gus seems impressed with Jesse's actions at the house and tells Jesse he gave him another chance because he "like[s] to think [he] see[s] something in people". Skyler arrives home and demands that Walter returns Junior's car, as buying lavish things threatens their cover story, saying her role is to protect the family from Walter.
