Tyrus and Victor pick up Jimmy and Mike at a truck stop. Jimmy posts Lalo's bail and claims he walked alone after his car broke down; Lalo plans to return to Mexico.

Jimmy lies to Kim about what happened, but she realizes the truth after observing a bullet hole in his coffee mug. Kim quits Schweikart & Cokely. Mike tells Jimmy his post-traumatic stress will pass with time. Lalo goes to the pickup site so the Cousins can transport him to Mexico, but instead searches for Jimmy's car, then returns to Albuquerque. Mike calls to warn Jimmy just before Lalo arrives at Kim's apartment. As Mike trains his rifle on Lalo from a nearby roof, Lalo has Jimmy repeat the story of his desert walk, then asks about the bullet holes in his car. Kim berates Lalo for not trusting Jimmy and Lalo appears satisfied. He tells Nacho to head for Mexico, but not the original pickup site.
