- Jesse is ready for revenge when he realizes that the drug dealers who killed his friend are not only peddling his and Walt's blue Meth but are using Andrea's 11-year-old brother Tomas as a hit man and drug dealer. Jesse also notices that his regular prostitute Wendy (Julia Minesci) knows the peddlers and brings them lunch in exchange for a drug hit.
Meanwhile, Jesse begins to plot against those who killed Combo. He buys blue Meth from the gang responsible, indicating that the people who killed Combo work for Gus. Jesse tells Walt about his findings and asks him to make Ricin so he can exact revenge. Although Walt appears troubled by the gang's use of children, he dismisses the plan and tells Jesse to do the same. Jesse says, "I'm doing it. With or without you." Walt realizing the danger Jesse has put himself in, takes steps to protect him.
Hank, meanwhile, is still reluctant to leave the hospital and go home, even though his doctors have told him he is free to leave at any time. Walter is told by Skyler that she never filed the divorce papers. Walter suggests moving back in with Skyler, but she refuses. Skyler pushes Walt to accept her plan of laundering his drug money through the car wash. Walter doesn't want Skyler involved as that way she can have plausible deniability. They continue to disagree but are able to negotiate a plan that allows Walt to have some family dinners at home as a ploy to make the Whites appear reconciled. Dinner 4 nights a week and Walter will have his own key to the house.
Mike makes an unannounced visit to Walt at home, telling him that he is not going to follow Saul's plan. He explains that Gus does not know of Jesse's intentions, but that if he follows through on them, he will find out and "take it as a problem." He then recounts an incident from his time as a cop, when he showed mercy by allowing a habitually abusive husband to live, only to have the man beat his wife to death shortly after. He tells Walt that he chose a "half measure" instead of killing the husband and warns before leaving: "No more half measures."
Jesse plants a poison of his own making in burgers a local prostitute will bring to the gang members. However, Mike and Victor (Jeremiah Bitsui) get to Jesse first, thwarting his plan and forcing him to go for a ride. They bring him to a meeting with Gus, Walt, and the dealers he was targeting. Gus asks Jesse to make the peace with them, in exchange for both not using children to deal or kill anymore. Jesse is furious to realize Walt has revealed his plan to Gus, but Gus tells him that Walt is his only friend in the room. After several tense verbal exchanges, the dealers agree to stop using children, and Jesse agrees to "keep the peace." It is implied that Jesse intends to drop his plans for revenge, although his relationship with Walt is damaged. He refuses to speak to Walt in the car after the meeting, and later won't return his phone calls.
That night, Jesse hears about the death of Tomas, and rushes to the scene with his girlfriend Andrea. He realizes the dealers have killed Tomas because he is no longer of value to them, as they've agreed to stop using children. Walt hears about the boy's death on TV and realizes Jesse is planning something. Jesse waits in his car near their territory, watching them and snorting Meth for the first time since leaving rehab. He grabs a gun from under his seat, leaves the vehicle and starts walking towards the dealers. As Jesse draws his gun, the dealers begin to do likewise. Suddenly, Walt plows over both dealers with his car. He exits the vehicle with one still underneath, and another injured but reaching for his gun. Walt picks up the gun, shoots the dealer in the head, and tells Jesse to run.
