Subscribe for exclusive content: Season Four - Episode Nine: “Bug“ Episode Description: Walt (Bryan Cranston) struggles to subvert Hank’s (Dean Norris) homegrown investigation, while a deadly warning forces Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) to consider a deal. Meanwhile, Skyler’s (Anna Gunn) plans to run a legitimate business are stalled. Episode Overview: After retrieving the tracking device they placed on Gus’ car, Walt and Hank are puzzled to find that he apparently drove only between his home and his office. So, as Skyler suggests they devise a plan to get out of the drug trade now that their car wash is close to making a profit, Walt’s concerns lead him to put a GPS tracker on Jesse’s car, too. But when Hank suspects that Gus is using his farm to run his drug empire, Walt warns Mike that trouble may on its way. In the wake of Walt’s warning, Mike oversees Jesse and a team of workers as they clean the farm of any hints of the drugs that have been hidden inside. However, as Jesse is pressing Mike for information about what Gus has in mind for Walt’s brother-in-law, a sniper opens fire. And as Mike risks his own life to save Jesse, Gus walks directly into the gunman’s sights, confident that the cartel won’t kill him. Meanwhile, Skyler’s plans for turning the car wash into a legitimate business are threatened when her former boss Ted Beneke is investigated for tax evasion. Though reluctant at first, Skyler shows up at the audit to convince the investigator that her ignorance of accounting led to Ted’s problem. But after Skyler says that this is all she can do to help him avoid jail, Ted makes it clear that he still doesn’t have the money to settle the case. Although he balks at disposing of a worker killed during the sniper attack, Walt thinks twice when Mike warns that he could be next. While meeting to inquire about what Gus has in store for Hank and to plead for Walt’s life, Jesse again fails to use the opportunity to kill Gus with the poisoned cigarette that Walt prepared. And when asked if he’s capable of cooking meth without his partner, Jesse learns that Gus is sending him to Mexico to share their recipe with the cartel. Finally, when Jesse tries to warn him of the plan, Walt angrily accuses him of backing out of their deal to kill Gus. And after the two partners end up in a brutal fistfight, Jesse orders Walt to leave and never come back. #JessePinkman #GusFring
