Walter noticed that surveillance cameras had been installed in the lab, and he felt that killing Gus was more urgent than ever. Skyler went to Walter’s apartment to discuss the car wash matter, only to find Walter’s eye bruised. Walter claimed he had gotten into a fight with a colleague over a disagreement, which made Skyler extremely worried about his safety.
Overwhelmed by stress, Marie resorted to shoplifting. She was caught and taken to the police station. When Hank found out about this, he was furious and immediately called his former colleagues for help. Hank’s colleague picked Marie up from the police station, but Marie had an emotional breakdown due to overwhelming stress.
Walter discussed buying the car wash with Saul. Saul suggested opening a nail salon instead, but Skyler insisted on purchasing that specific car wash. Walter was confused, so Skyler told him the car wash owner had insulted Walter before—this made Walter angry too.
Skyler came up with a plan to buy the car wash. She asked one of Saul’s men to pose as an environmental protection agency inspector and harass the car wash owner. Skyler waited at home for a call, and soon the owner called, agreeing to sell the shop to her. Skyler took the chance to negotiate a lower price and finally secured the shop at an extremely low cost.
Hank’s colleague visited him at home and brought along some case files related to Gale’s murder, including that lab notebook. Hank acted dismissively toward the materials.
Jesse continued throwing parties at his place, and Gus also sent someone to monitor him. To celebrate the successful purchase of the car wash, Walter bought an expensive bottle of champagne. Skyler thought this was too reckless, as it might arouse unnecessary suspicion. The two argued over the champagne, but both were secretly happy deep down.
Hank suffered from insomnia at night. He opened Gale’s notebook and discovered extremely detailed records of the meth-cooking process inside.
