Contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 4 episode 1 and earlier episodes.

In Omaha, Gene is discharged from hospital after his collapse. A billing error makes him fear his assumed identity has failed, though the receptionist quickly corrects it. His taxi driver’s stare and Albuquerque Isotopes air freshener unsettle him further, and he gets out before reaching the mall. In Albuquerque, Jimmy and Kim arrive at Chuck’s burned house as his body is removed. Jimmy notices the discarded appliances and recognizes that Chuck’s symptoms had returned. He sinks into depression while Kim supports him and Howard arranges the funeral. Friends and colleagues gather to remember Chuck, but Jimmy struggles to respond to their condolences.

Mike receives his first Madrigal payment, intended to disguise his stolen money as consulting income. Instead of treating it as a no-show job, he conducts a detailed security inspection. Nacho replaces Hector’s fake pills with real medication. Bolsa appoints Nacho and Arturo to manage the Salamanca business, and Victor secretly watches Nacho dispose of the fakes. After the funeral, Howard tells Jimmy and Kim he believes Chuck killed himself. He blames his decision to force Chuck out of HHM following an insurance increase. Jimmy knows he helped trigger that increase but leaves Howard with the guilt, abruptly becoming cheerful again.
