Complete story — includes the ending

Nacho's truck is damaged in the firefight with the Cousins, forcing him to hide. The next day, he contacts his father to say farewell, then calls Gus and offers to surrender if his father is protected. Jimmy and Kim plot to obtain a duplicate of Howard's car but realize obtaining access to his car is more feasible. Prosecutor Suzanne Ericsen connects Jimmy to Lalo and asks Kim to persuade Jimmy to reveal information about him. Gus arranges for Nacho to be smuggled into the U.S., after which Nacho and Mike go over Nacho's part of the plan to absolve Gus for Lalo's death. Jimmy and Kim work with Huell to obtain duplicates of Howard's car key and remote unlock button. Mike takes a firing position with his rifle so he can observe Nacho's confession to Hector and the Cousins. Nacho falsely claims he tried to kill Lalo for the Alvarez drug family, and bolsters his credibility by admitting his previous attempt to kill Hector. Rather than avoiding torture by having Victor kill him in a fake escape attempt, Nacho uses a piece of broken glass to cut his restraints, then kills himself with Bolsa's gun.
