Walt knows that Gus does not trust him and as such he knows that Gus will get rid of him as soon as he finds somebody capable of making methamphetamine as pure as Walt makes. He also knows that there is no way that he can get close enough to Gus to kill him; Jesse might be able to though so he comes up with a plan; he just has to persuade Jesse agree to it and get the opportunity. This isn't the most pressing danger for Gus however; the cartel is still determined that he will not walk away from their agreement. He arranges to meet with them but they only send one man and he isn't there to negotiate; he is there to let Gus know he can never stop working for them. A third danger to Gus is Hank's investigation into Gale's death; a single clue has put Gus firmly into Hank's sights. Elsewhere Skyler is shocked to learn just how much money she will have to launder for Walt; far, far more than could possibly be accounted for by the car wash.
This was another top rate episode full of great individual moments; highlights including when Walt 'took Junior's car back', Jesse's visit to the rehab group, Gus's meeting with the lone cartel representative and Hank setting out his theories to his DEA boss. The acting was solid throughout but Aaron Paul's stood out during his emotional scenes at the start of the episode and where he almost confesses to the rehab group. As is frequently the case there is humour in some of the situations; Saul's efforts to dissuade Walt from trying to hire somebody to kill Gus were amusing without seeming forced.
