Walter reflects on everything he has done in the car when Skyler gets in and asks if he is safe. The doctor comes to check on Hank's recovery, and Marie hopes Hank can start physical therapy soon so he can walk again. Marie and Hank's insurance company cannot provide Hank with the best rehabilitation treatment, so Marie decides to find the best physical therapist for Hank. Jesse finds Saul, who advises Jesse to launder his money first. Walter meets Gus, who states that Tuco's cousins initially targeted him but were manipulated into targeting Hank instead. Walter suspects Gus has a more sinister plan, but he cannot escape Gus's control now. Skyler is comforting Marie at home when Ted suddenly appears. Marie goes to take a shower, and Ted and Skyler talk; Ted confesses his feelings for Skyler, but Skyler is unwilling to discuss them at the moment. Jesse is very dissatisfied with his current situation and plans to secretly deal drugs. Jesse steals drugs from the lab, but Walter is unaware. Marie plans to seek help from the media, and Walter and Skyler want to assist. Skyler offers to pay for Hank, falsely claiming that the money was won by Walter at a casino. Skyler tells Marie a story to help Walter cover up the fact that he makes drugs, and Marie accepts their help. Skyler advises Marie not to tell Hank any of this.
