Episode Overview:
As Skyler struggles with her conflicted feelings over her affair with Ted and having her husband living back at home against her will, Walt calls Saul Goodman for an answer as to why he was paid half of the cash from Jesse’s recent drug deal with Gus. Despite the lawyer’s efforts to remain businesslike, civility breaks down as Jesse angrily insists that, regardless of what Walt says, he will continue making as much meth as he wants. But after going to see Gus about the apparent mix-up, Walt finds that his former buyer has created a sophisticated underground drug lab to lure him back into the business. And though Walt insists he has quit for good, he’s left wondering about his decision after Gus reminds him of his responsibility to provide for his family.
While continuing his frustrating search for the motor home he’s sure is being used as a mobile drug lab, Hank learns that his partner, Gomez, is taking the job in the DEA’s El Paso office - a job that was supposed to be his. Though Marie can see that he is deeply troubled by the news, Hank refuses to talk about it. And even as all the leads fail to pan out, Hank won’t give up and, pressing his secretary to make one more search of the DMV records, learns of an RV that has thus far escaped his attention. Meanwhile, as divorce lawyer Pamela Orbic warns that staying in the house could make her an accessory to her husband’s crimes, Skyler is surprised to discover that Walt has signed the divorce papers like she asked.
In an effort to mediate their dispute - and make sure he gets a cut of any deal they make - Saul summons Jesse and Walt to his office. Yet, when the lawyer proposes that Jesse resume cooking meth while paying Walt a fee for using his old formula, neither man is satisfied. And after returning the money he was paid for Jesse’s work, Walt makes it clear that he intends to go back into business with Gus. Finally, following up on the last RV on his list, Hank discovers it was stolen from the parents of Jesse’s pal and former drug partner, Combo.

[@VULTUSPRIME]

This speech really motivated me. I immediately went out and got my wife a second job.

[@slicendice7322]

Outstanding performance by Howard and Lalo in this scene

[@Thegirmaster]

Love how Gus tested Walt’s manhood. He knows Walt’s pride and ego will keep him in

[@myroc1]

I'm sure Gus has a totally different speech for guys like Gale and delivers them just as convincingly.

[@generalshepherd2209]

The epitome of “I know you’re playing me, but you’re right.”

[@slab8858]

This is why Gus was so good, he was the only one who figured out what Walt's angle was and managed to play him for it perfectly.

[@victornguyen6009]

Damn, Gus and Walt could’ve been best friends if Walt would’ve shut his mouth and known his place.

"A man provides for his family. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up. And he does it because he's a man"

[@ThatOneGuy400]

I think this conversation stuck with Walter all the way till the end of the series when he tried to send Walt Jr. the package of money. He probably knew he was no longer loved, but still, on some level he wanted to provide

[@reecewithoutherspoon1324]

A reason Gus is so smart here is because he basically read Walters personality and knew how to exploit it. He essentially fed his ego.

[@whyisblue923taken]

"What does a man do? A man provides for his family. The family meal at Los Pollos Hermanos is $19.99. With your new employee discount, it is $18 plus tax."

[@MireVale]

What kind of man talks to the DEA?

[@HollywoodJoe]

Any scene with Walt: (exists)

[@conforzo]

Gus Fring is like Terms & Conditions documents, looks and acts harmless, but if you go through... The horrifying truth will come out

[@Iknowthelaw13]

Love how Gus makes it feel like Walt is a King who will have everything taken care of for him. Like he’s a celebrity. Plays right into Walt’s desire to feel powerful

[@victorrosas-br7fs]

Who’s here after finding out Giancarlo was actually contemplating faking being murdered to provide for his family?

[@DanielEhlmann]

Howard and Lalo offered truly grounded performances in this scene. Incredible.

[@chaosrex1487]

"We'll get you in some kind of super lab." - Tuco Salamanca, the day he died.

[@baldingsan457]

“...quite a lot of planning went into this”

[@turaychu]

The news abt Giancarlo makes this speech a lot more special now
