Leonel (Daniel Moncada) and Marco Salamanca (Luis Moncada) make a pilgrimage to a Mexican shrine to Santa Muerte, making an offering and leaving a drawing of Heisenberg at the shrine. All of Albuquerque is in shock in the aftermath of the mid-air plane collision. Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is living in his home alone, at least for a while longer. His wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) has moved out with their son and newborn daughter to give Walt a chance to pack his things.

Remorseful, he burns several bundles of money on the barbecue, but at the last moment changes his mind and throws the bills into the pool. While helping Walt to transport his belongings to a new apartment, Hank (Dean Norris) lifts the bag containing the money Walt obtained in his deal with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). Walter takes his share of the 1.2 million $ drug money (which is USD 480,000, 20% cut for Saul), with him.

Walt openly admits the existence of the money, but Hank laughs, believing it to be a joke. Once in his new apartment, Walt calls to give his family his new address. He later receives a text message on his 2nd phone reading "POLLOS."

At a school assembly, Walt becomes agitated as both teachers and students open up about the traumas they experienced due to the plane collision. 167 people died in the plane collision. The news media blamed Donald (John De Lancie) and his actions for the crash. The news also reports how Donald's daughter Jane (Krysten Ritter) had recently died from a drug overdose and that Donald was allowed to return to work shortly thereafter.

When prompted to share his thoughts, Walter delivers an awkward speech comparing the accident to other tragic plane collisions, disturbing the assembled audience by advising them to "look on the bright side". Nobody on the ground was killed even though the crash took place over a populated urban center, neither plane was filled to capacity, this was only the 53rd biggest airplane crash in history and people tend to forget and move on.

Skyler speaks to a divorce lawyer about making the split permanent but seems unsure when the attorney says she will uncover any money Walt may have hidden. When she confronts Walt about the divorce, she also learns for the first time just how he made his money. Walter admits that he cooked Meth and sold it via Jesse. Skyler storms off, though not before threatening to expose his secret to his children and to Hank if he does not concede to the divorce. After being given a ride home from school by his father, Walter, Jr. (RJ Mitte) argues with both his parents and expresses his anger towards Skyler, who refuses to give him an explanation. Walter Jr blames Skyler for the separation with Walter. Skyler also refuses when asked by her sister Marie Schrader (Betsy Brandt).

Walt's former business partner, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), is in rehab trying to overcome his drug addiction and come to terms with Jane's (Krysten Ritter) death. He feels remorse over the events that led to the mid-air collision and learns not to shy away from them. During one session, the group leader confesses how he killed his own daughter while desperately looking for vodka. He says that he was driving to the store to buy Vodka when he backed the truck over his own daughter who was playing in the driveway. The group leader says that hating oneself is only an impediment to moving on. Jesse is released from rehab and comes to stay with Walter. Jesse tells Walter to accept his reality and not to run from it.

Walt decides to get out of manufacturing and tells his principal contact, Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), that he is getting out of the business. Gus has a very attractive offer (USD 3 million for 3 months of Walter's time), however, Walt briefly considers. Walter refuses the offer and says that he has money, but does not have his family.

Meanwhile, the two Salamanca cousins cross into the US from Mexico hidden in the back of a truck, in search of Heisenberg. They kill their fellow passengers and the driver of the truck before blowing it up.
