Jimmy McGill and
Mike Ehrmantraut arrive at a truck stop where
Tyrus Kitt and
Victor pick them up. Jimmy posts
Lalo Salamanca's bail and Lalo is released. As Mike and Jimmy agreed, Jimmy tells Lalo his car broke down and he walked alone cross-country so he would not risk losing the money. Lalo tells Jimmy he plans to avoid prosecution by returning to Mexico, and mentions in passing that Kim came to see him. Kim tends to Jimmy's sunburn and bruises and he tells her the same story he told Lalo. Kim realizes Jimmy is lying when she sees his bullet-pierced coffee mug. Mike reports to
Gus Fring, who realizes
Juan Bolsa arranged the attack on Jimmy to protect Gus' business, not knowing it is Gus' plan to ensure Lalo is out of prison. Mike tells Gus that
Nacho Varga wants to stop working as Gus' informant, but Gus refuses to release a valuable asset. Jimmy ends a day of convalescence early to deal with a client. Kim tells him she knows he is lying and will be ready to listen when he decides to tell the truth. Kim quits Schweikart and Cokely, handing over the Mesa Verde account and keeping her
pro bono clients. As she departs, she takes the tequila bottle stopper she previously kept as a souvenir. Jimmy tells Mike he is experiencing
post-traumatic stress. Mike tells Jimmy it will pass with time. When Jimmy questions the events that brought them to the desert, Mike says they both made choices, good and bad, and must live with the consequences. Lalo says goodbye to
Hector Salamanca and has Nacho bring him to the desert pickup site. Instead of waiting for
the Cousins, he decides to search for Jimmy's car. After finding it, he tells Nacho to drive back to Albuquerque. At home, Jimmy and Kim argue about Kim quitting S&C. Mike calls Jimmy to warn him of Lalo's imminent arrival and tells Jimmy to keep his cell phone on but hidden. As Mike listens in and trains a sniper rifle on Lalo from a nearby roof, Lalo has Jimmy repeat the story of his desert walk, then reveals he found Jimmy's car, which was riddled with bullet holes. Kim tells Lalo that passersby probably shot at the car for fun and berates him for not trusting Jimmy. Seemingly satisfied, Lalo departs. He tells Nacho to drive to Mexico, but not the original pickup site. == Production ==
