His efforts to unlock it only result in a misfire into the ground. He suddenly decides not to commit Suicide by Cop and puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger, only to discover the safety is on. Now we're back at the opening teaser, and Walter is staring down the road menacingly. Walter suddenly notices that the desert grass has caught fire from Emilio's stray cigarette butt, and frantically puts gas masks on himself and Jesse before driving off in the poisoned RV.

He begins cooking, but deliberately mixes the wrong chemicals to cause an explosive cloud of gas and runs out of the RV, holding the door shut as the two inside are poisoned. Walter, picking on Krazy-8's admiration of his meth, talks them into sparing him and Jesse if he teaches them his recipe. Jesse tries to run away, but falls on a rock and is knocked out as Emilio and Krazy-8 threatens to kill them both. The three drive out to the RV where Walt is still cooking, but when Emilio recognizes Walter from the bust, the two assume he's working with the DEA and pull their guns on Jesse and Walt. The two threaten Jesse and ask where he got his sample. Emilio unexpectedly shows up, out of jail on bail, and falsely accuses Jesse of ratting him out to the cops. Jesse takes a sample to his distributor Krazy-8, cousin of Emilio. Jesse declares Walter 'an artist', and is clearly impressed with his technical abilities. They drive into the desert and cook, with Walt in his underwear to keep the smell out of his clothes.

Their partnership settled, Walt steals a box full of chemistry equipment from his own classroom at the high school, while Jesse purchases an RV for them to use as a lab. Walt is astounded at how much money the criminals have made.

Hank is also featured on the news busting a local meth lab. His brother-in-law, Hank Schrader, a DEA agent married to Skyler's sister Marie, is holding a casual demonstration of his pistol and passes around to Walt, then takes his drink from him as the party toasts, leaving Walt holding the firearm instead. Humiliated, Walter returns home late to find a surprise birthday party for him, with many guests. One of his students happens to spot him wiping down car tires and takes a picture. Walter is also shown working as a car wash cashier, his second job to make ends meet. Walter and his son then drive to the JP Wynne High School, where Walt Jr. His son, Walter Jr., who has cerebral palsy, mocks the veggie bacon and his mother's healthy food crusade. At breakfast, his wife Skyler makes him a plate of eggs with veggie bacon spelling out '50'. Walter is exercising and staring at a plaque commemorating his contributions to Nobel Prize-winning research. After the credits, we flash back to three weeks earlier.
