Todd argues his case to Walt, Mike, and Jesse about murdering Drew, claiming that, although it was harsh, it was their only option. He only did as they insisted upon. Jesse is fuming, hardly able to contain himself. The three men send him out of the room to discuss his future in their operation. Jesse, appalled by his actions, does not feel safe with him around and wants him gone. Walt proposes three options: Firstly to fire Todd, bearing in mind that he knows too much and would probably need to be paid for his silence.
Second would be to "dispose of him", not an appealing proposition they all agree in silence. The third to demote him back to tenting houses and setting up the lab, keeping him close and in the business as a precaution.
While Jesse prefers to fire Todd, Mike and Walt vote to keep him in the business. Mike delivers the news to Todd, but also berates him for his reckless actions, and makes a thinly-veiled threat to kill him if he ever does anything like that again. Later, as Mike's about to leave, he quickly scribbles and hides a note under a nearby garbage can, then calls to his granddaughter and leaves. The DEA agents debate whether to follow him or wait for someone to pick up the dead drop.
Gomez approaches the note to investigate and finds that it reads "Fuck You. Back at his house, Mike listens to a recording of Hank Schrader 's office and stares blankly when the DEA agents talk about tailing Mike until he makes an incriminating mistake.
At Marie Schrader 's house, Skyler White holds Holly White and breaks into tears, telling her sister that she misses her children but needs them to stay safe. Marie questions her and Skyler vaguely tells her that she and Walt are bad parents and that there are things that if she told Marie, Marie would never speak to her again.
Marie begs her sister to just try her anyway, as she doubts this. Skyler seems poised to finally to confess everything to her sister, however Marie then reveals that Walt told her of Skyler's affair with Ted Beneke. Skyler snaps back to reality, withholding her anger, but now even more furious at her husband for framing her as the source of their conflict. At a house being bug-bombed by Vamonos, Walt and Jesse watch TV and wait for their current batch of meth to cook.
Their program is interrupted by a news report on Drew Sharp's disappearance, which hits Jesse with a wave of grief. Walt, seeing how distraught Jesse is, offers to finish up while Jesse goes on home. Jesse agrees, and while leaving the house, hears Walt nonchalantly whistling "The Lily Of The Valley," coincidentally, the name of the plant he used to poison Brock. Jesse is unsettled at hearing Walt's whistling and his seemingly unaffected attitude.
Todd's desperate, unconvincing justification brings inauthenticity—one of the central themes of Breaking Bad 's fifth season—to the episode's forefront. Near the end of "Buyout," Jesse attempts to make conversation at the world's most awkward dinner by describing how frozen lasagna is inevitably disappointing when compared to the picture on its box.
The DEA offers phony excuses about tailing Mike, and Mike drums up a phony legal basis to make them stop. Walter claims he can't sleep because of his complicity in Drew Sharp's death, but spends the afternoon whistling cheerily while he cooks. And Marie confesses that she knows about Skyler's affair with Ted—a small secret that only serves to cover the existence of a much bigger one. In Breaking Bad , even the truth has become just part of a greater lie. There is, ironically enough, one pure thing left in Breaking Bad : the chemical perfection of Walter's unique brand of crystal meth.
The blue meth manufactured by Walt and Jesse has become the drug equivalent of a blue-chip stock: consistent in quality and always in demand. But like any successful business, Walt's operation faces competition from a professional rival: Declan, who aims to take the blue meth off the market by purchasing Mike and Jesse's gallons of illicitly acquired methylamine a reference to "the number of the beast" that's just a little too on the nose.
He's in the empire business. With no family, no career, and a lung-cancer clock that continues to tick, Walter has nothing else left—and he has no intention of letting his partners ride off into the sunset. By the episode's end, Walter promises Jesse and Mike that he's developed a solution in which "everybody wins. Interesting, no? Is that really true? You serious? I'm guessing Jesse knew that as well then because he was giving him that stone cold stare while looking confused as heck as well.
I really was wondering why Jesse was watching over him like but thanks TC! I really do think walt is going to be bringing that up in a future episode. I just figured Jesse was giving the WTF look because Walt was whistling cheerfully right after have a morbid discussion, but if he's whistling that song to taunt Jesse then that's cold man. This exactly. At first I was like "well, Jesse is giving him a wired stare because usually whistling means your cheerful, and after he discussed a boy being killed whistling isn't exactly the best thing to do".
