- While celebrating the great news of Walt's remission, a drunken Walter gets into a fight with Hank regarding a bottle of tequila and Walter Jr. Janes father visits, and Jane keeps her relationship a secret, much to the shock and disappointment of Jesse.
- Following his discovery that he is in remission, Walt takes Skyler's advice take the week off from work, but secretly meets with Jesse. He tells Jesse the good news, and that he is out of the drug trade now that he no longer has to pay for treatment. During Skyler's party celebrating the remission, Walt pours Walt Jr. some tequila that he and Hank are drinking. After Walt keeps pouring, Hank takes the bottle away from him. Hank says that Walter Jr is 16 years old, and Walter had already poured him 3 rounds when Hank took the bottle away from him. Walt angrily demands it back, leading to a tense standoff which is broken as Walt Jr. vomits into the pool.
The next day, Skyler refuses to answer Walt's calls in which he tries to apologize. In order to distract himself, he goes on a home improvement spree, replacing their water heater. The old water heater is all rusted out internally, its leaking all over the place and was spewing brownish pink colored water. Walter goes to the hardware store and buys the top end tank-less water heater model, which costs him $1200. Walter installs the new water heater all by himself and tests it with Walter Jr when he comes home. Walter apologizes to his son about his behavior at the party. Walter Jr says that he is proud that he kept up the drinking pace with Walter and Uncle Hank. After installing the new heater, Walter sees that the floorboard underneath is completely soggy and gutted and decides to install a new one. Once Walter cuts through the floorboard, he sees the foundation of the house, and finds that the entire foundation is rampaged by fungus. Walter decides to fix all of it by himself. Skyler is not happy that Walter has converted the home into a construction zone.
At work, Skyler confides in Ted about Walt's condition. When Ted notices that she is purposefully staying late, she breaks down, saying that she doesn't feel optimistic because she knows that Walt still has cancer.
Ted understands, having suffered physically while caring for his dying father. They tenderly hold hands. The next day, as Ted is leaving, Skyler creates a distraction in order to spend more time with him.
At the hardware store to buy new floorboards, Walt notices the cart of a young man buying materials to make drugs. He offers advice about what ingredients to get, causing the man to run away. Outside in the parking lot, he sees the young man with his partner; Walt orders the two to stay out of his territory. The 2 guys decide to retreat, and Walter is back. He has made up his mind not to quit the drug trade.
Meanwhile, Jesse clumsily makes breakfast for Jane and tells her they can spend the day together. She admires his drawings of superheroes, which she points out all looks like him. They hear knocking on Jane's door, which turns out to be her father Donald (John De Lancie), the owner of the property.
When Jesse goes outside to speak with him, Jane acts like she does not know him. Later, she tells him she was protecting him from her overbearing father, but Jesse is upset that she does not take their relationship seriously. He smokes Meth to comfort himself but brightens when Jane slides a drawing under his door: a superhero called "Apology Girl" that looks like her.
