Marie mistakenly believes Walter Jr. is smoking marijuana and asks Hank to intervene. Hank takes Walt Jr. to a rundown motel to demonstrate the dangers of gateway drugs. Walt and Jesse clean up Emilio's dissolved remains from Jesse's house. Walt continues caring for the captive Krazy-8, torn between killing him and letting him live. While bringing food downstairs, Walt collapses and breaks a plate. Upon recovering, Walt reveals his lung cancer diagnosis to Krazy-8—the first person he's told—and they discover unexpected commonalities. Krazy-8 manipulates Walt by warning him against trusting Jesse, calling him an unreliable drug addict. Walt decides to release Krazy-8, but while cleaning up the broken plate, he notices a shard is missing and realizes Krazy-8 has hidden it as a weapon. When Walt confronts him about the shard, Krazy-8 attacks with the makeshift knife. Walt strangles him to death with the bicycle lock chain. Walt lies to Skyler about working late at the car wash, but she reveals she already knows he quit weeks ago. That night, Walt tells Skyler they need to talk.
