Hank suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after the bombing in El Paso. To help cheer Hank up, Walt gives him a motivational speech about his cancer diagnosis; Hank is encouraged to leave the house, but still experiences panic attacks. Jesse and Jane have begun a sexual relationship, and Jesse learns that Jane is in recovery from addiction. Badger is arrested in a sting operation by the Albuquerque police; Walt and Jesse hire a shady lawyer, Saul Goodman, who ensures that Badger will get off with a light sentence without having to give away Jesse or Walt's identity. Saul tells Walt and Jesse about an ex-convict named Jimmy, who makes a living being paid by other criminals to go to jail, and offers to have him stand in for Heisenberg. The DEA busts Jimmy when Badger gives them a fake deal, but Hank isn't completely convinced. Through a private investigator, Saul tracks down Walt at the school and offers his services as a full-time legal counsel and adviser for a cut of the profit.
