Jimmy and Kim substitute enlarged building plans for Mesa Verde’s approved Lubbock application. Jimmy wants to repeat their success elsewhere, but Kim urges restraint. Lalo gives Hector a hotel bell taken during an old Salamanca act of revenge, allowing him to communicate from his wheelchair. He then introduces himself to Gus, thanks him for saving Hector and asks Nacho to show him the chicken farm. His curiosity puts more pressure on Nacho’s divided loyalties.
Jimmy’s reinstatement hearing ends in rejection because the panel considers his answers insincere. Kim points out that he never mentioned Chuck, despite their dispute causing the suspension. Their argument becomes personal: Jimmy accuses her of using him for excitement, while she insists she has consistently supported him. That evening, he begins packing to leave. Kim asks whether he still wants to practise law, and promises to help when he says yes.
Werner’s crew finishes blasting the rock blocking the laboratory elevator. He asks to visit his wife in Germany, but Mike substitutes permission for an extra phone call. The following morning, Mike notices damaged camera images. Werner has used a laser to disable surveillance, cut the locks leading to the roof and escaped down a maintenance ladder. The job is approaching completion, but the man responsible for its engineering has vanished beyond Mike’s controlled perimeter.
