When Jesse arrives, Walt informs him that Mike is "gone."

When asked by Jesse how they will deal with Mike's nine henchmen now that they will not be receiving their hazard payments, Walt bluntly tells Jesse that he is no longer involved in the business and that Walt is "handling it."

Suspecting that Walt will see her as a liability and kill her, Lydia proposes a partnership in which Walt expands his distribution overseas to the Czech Republic, which has a high percentage of meth users.

When asked why she didn't pitch this to Gus, she claims that he had approved her idea before he was killed.

After Lydia leaves, Walt removes his hat from the table, revealing the vial of ricin from his and Jesse's plot to kill Gus, which he then re-hides in his house.

Walt asks Todd to meet with his uncle, Jack Welker, who has ties with white supremacist gangs operating in various prisons.

When Hank learns of the deaths, he is crushed and tells Walt that he yearns for a simpler job that does not involve "chasing monsters".

Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) and Holly move back in with Walt and Skyler, and the family seems to be in repair, with everything now perfect for Walt.
