Complete story — includes the ending

Ted reveals to Skyler that he is being audited for tax fraud. Worried that she could be implicated as Ted's former bookkeeper, Skyler attends Ted's audit and pretends to be under-qualified and completely ignorant of standard accounting practices. Her supposed incompetence forestalls a full investigation, although Ted is still ordered to pay back his taxes and fines totalling over $600,000. Skyler later ventures into the crawl space underneath her home, where she has been storing Walt's cash. After failing to uncover evidence from the GPS tracker, Hank investigates Gus' depot, forcing Jesse to help clean and move all the product out of it. A cartel sniper opens fire on Gus' distribution center, which ends when Gus walks outside alone; Mike explains to Jesse that the cartel needs to keep Gus alive for his distribution network. Gus calls the cartel and gives in to their demands to split territory, later telling Jesse that he will be sent to Mexico to teach the cartel how to cook the blue meth. Walt confronts Jesse for failing to kill Gus, resulting in a violent fight between the two over their trust issues.
