The episode starts with a
flashforward to a disheveled
Walter White celebrating his 52nd birthday alone in an Albuquerque
Denny's, using a false name and posing as a New Hampshirite. He illegally purchases a machine gun from
Lawson which is hidden inside the trunk of a car. In the present, Walt disposes of any evidence connecting him to
Gus Fring's killing and
Brock Cantillo's poisoning.
Skyler White tries not to speak to Walt, explaining that she is now scared of him. Walt suddenly remembers the surveillance cameras that Gus installed in the superlab, and realizes that the footage Gus may have collected could incriminate him. The following day,
Mike Ehrmantraut, who is still recovering from injuries sustained in the shootout, learns of Gus's death and drives back to
New Mexico. He comes across Walt and
Jesse Pinkman and is prepared to kill Walt, but Walt and Jesse convince him that Gus's laptop, which has been seized by police as evidence, needs to be dealt with. Mike advises that they all leave the city, as the police will inevitably find them in the lab camera footage. Mike and Walt argue over the best option to take until Jesse suggests that they could use a magnet to destroy the laptop and any evidence of their crimes. Together, Jesse and Walt concoct a plan to use an industrial
electromagnet (acquired from Joe at the junk-yard) to destroy the laptop from outside the police building. They pull it off, despite being forced to abandon the truck. As they drive away, Walt defies Mike's doubts that everything is settled. Meanwhile,
Saul Goodman approaches Skyler at the car wash and tells her that
Ted Beneke survived the injury from his encounter with
Kuby and
Huell. Skyler visits Ted in the hospital and finds that he has been fitted with a
halo brace. An intimidated Ted tells her that he will remain silent about what caused his injury. Elsewhere, Walt argues with Saul about the lawyer's failure to inform him about Skyler's bailout to Ted. It is revealed that Huell was told to pickpocket Jesse's
ricin cigarette, which is why Jesse believed it was lost; Saul presents the cigarette to Walt in a plastic bag, remarking that he had no idea Walt was going to poison Brock in the service of killing Gus. Saul tries to end his and Walt's business relationship, but Walt threateningly tells him, "We're done when I say we're done". The episode ends with Walter hugging Skyler, and forgiving her for bailing out Ted. == Production ==
