He ends up tracking down his hidden RV and spends the night in it. Jesse's parents, who own his house, order him to vacate, and he finds himself homeless.

Walt and Jesse appear to be in the clear, but Jesse has no money and Walt cannot leave the house to cook meth without Skyler wondering where he is. Jesse is freed, but the DEA confiscates all of his money. Hank does not believe him and brings in Hector to identify him, but the old man refuses to cooperate with the authorities. He then allows the DEA to find him in a motel room with a prostitute, with whom he claims to have been shacked up all weekend. Jesse, meanwhile returns to his house and, with Badger's help, packs all of his lab equipment into the RV and arranges it to be towed away. He is hospitalized and claims to have no memory of where he has been for the past few days. Alone, Walt goes to a supermarket, removes his clothes, and wanders around the aisles, feigning a disoriented state. Walt and Jesse have to get back home and explain their disappearances Walt forms a plan, and they split up. Hank tracks Jesse to Tuco's hideout and gets into a shootout with Tuco, whom he kills in self-defense.

Meanwhile, Skyler is worried over Walt's disappearance and, after Hank reveals his suspicion that Walt has a second cell phone, remembers that Jesse had been supplying Walt with marijuana. Enraged, Tuco attacks and attempts to kill Jesse, but Jesse manages to wound him and escape with Walt. Desperate, Walt attempts to poison Tuco, but Hector disrupts his plan. Tuco now intends to take Walt and Jesse to Mexico, where they will cook meth for him 24/7. Tuco explains that Hank and the DEA have rolled his entire organization and believes Gonzo has ratted him out (unaware of his death). Tuco takes Walt and Jesse at gunpoint to a remote desert hideout, where he takes care of his sick uncle Hector, a former drug kingpin who is now incapacitated due to a stroke and can only communicate with a bell. Jesse and Walt's fears come true as Tuco kidnaps them. Skyler tells Hank about Marie's shoplifting, and learns she has already been receiving therapy for kleptomania. Investigating the junkyard, he finds Gonzo dead from a botched attempt to hide No-Doze's body. Hank reviews the security surveillance footage of the warehouse break-in without realizing he is watching Walt and Jesse, though he can tell they are inexperienced thieves. Jesse resolves to shoot Tuco, but Walt has a more surreptitious plan involving poisoning him with ricin, thus leaving their hands clean. Walt and Jesse are horrified by Tuco's violent outbursts, as well as the mysterious appearance of an ominous black SUV. No-Doze dies from the beating Tuco inflicted on him, and Gonzo leaves to hide the body.

The titles of the first, fourth, tenth, and thirteenth episodes form a sentence which reveals an event that takes place in the season finale (Seven Thirty-Seven Down Over ABQ).
