Plot
Nacho Varga aids Victor and Tyrus Kitt in making it appear that Nacho's car was attacked and the drugs he and Arturo Colon picked up at Los Pollos Hermanos were stolen. Victor and Tyrus riddle the car and Arturo's body with bullets. Victor shoots Nacho in the shoulder as agreed, then shoots him in the stomach, to make it "look real." Nacho calls the Cousins, who burn the car and take Nacho to veterinarian Dr. Caldera, who succeeds in saving Nacho's life.Juan Bolsa tells Gus Fring that because drug and cash shipments have been disrupted several times, Gus should begin investigating the feasibility of finding a drug supplier within the United States rather than relying on cocaine from Mexico, unaware this is what Gus intended. Gus visits Gale Boetticher, a post-graduate student and researcher at the University of New Mexico, who reports on the poor quality of a meth sample Gus asked him to evaluate. Gale says he could produce a higher quality product, but Gus assures him he is destined for better things.
Jimmy McGill asks Mike Ehrmantraut to steal a valuable Hummel figurine from Neff Copiers and replace it with an inexpensive one that looks similar. Mike refuses, so Jimmy turns to Ira. Ira agrees, but during the theft, he finds one of the owners sleeping in the office because of an argument with his wife. Ira calls Jimmy, who creates a distraction that enables Ira to leave with the Hummel.
Kim Wexler returns to work on the Mesa Verde account. Bank president Kevin Wachtell shows her plans for the bank's aggressive expansion. Concerned about the rate of growth, and increasingly bored with banking law, Kim gives more of the work to her paralegal, Viola Goto, and asks to be dropped off at the courthouse.
The next morning, Kim gives Jimmy Chuck McGill's letter. Kim offers to leave him to read it alone, but says she wants to stay after Jimmy suggests it. The letter is undated but appears to have been written when Jimmy worked in HHM's mailroom. On the surface the letter is full of praise, but it is slightly condescending and contains backhanded compliments. Jimmy does not respond emotionally and calls it "nice", but Kim begins crying and runs off to their bedroom.
