Synopsis

  • Walt and Jesse clean up the bloody remains of Emilio's body and flush it down the toilets one bucket at a time. In the meanwhile, Krazy-8 regains consciousness in the basement. While talking with Walt, Krazy-8 reveals that Jesse told him and Emilio about Walt's personal life. That Walter is a Chemistry teacher in school and has a retarded son. Krazy-8 tells Walter that Jesse is not a reliable partner and that he blabbed about Walter to him and his cousin (Emilio).

Jesse berates him for not living up to his end of the bargain between the two and drives off.

    Meanwhile, Skyler tells Marie that she is working on a new short story with a stoner character in it and she asks her about marijuana. Marie assumes that Skyler thinks Walt Jr. is smoking pot, but Skyler insists that she was just talking about her story. Marie asks Hank to scare Walt Jr. straight, leading him to bring Walt Jr. to a motel to show how Meth has corroded the teeth of a prostitute. Turns out Jesse was hiding in the room of the prostitute while she was being interrogated by Hank outside Jesse gets paranoid that the cops are already looking for him.

    Meanwhile it is shown that Marie is a kleptomaniac as she steals a pair of stilettos from a high-end store.

    However, when Walter throws the beer can in the trash, he observes the broken pieces of the plate. He realizes that there is a shard missing from the broken plate. He reluctantly garrotes Krazy-8 with the bike lock while he stabs backward into Walt's leg with the broken plate. Walt goes back home to find Skyler sitting on the bed, crying. He says he has something to tell her.
