Complete story — includes the ending

Gus survives the poison, and Mike must stay in Mexico for a week to recover. Gus tells Jesse he can run the lab now, but Jesse tells him not to kill Walt. Ted still refuses to pay the IRS with the money from Skyler, who sends Saul's henchmen to intimidate him. Ted signs the check, but then attempts to escape; he trips and hits his head, knocking himself out and breaking his neck. Hoping to stop Hank's investigation into Gus, Walt deliberately gets Hank into a car accident, but Hank is undeterred. Walt realizes Jesse has been cooking without him, but Jesse is unmoved when Walt confronts him and begs him to stop. Gus takes Walt to the desert and fires him, informing him that Hank will be killed and that Walt's entire family will be murdered if he interferes. After convincing Saul to place an anonymous tip to the DEA, Walt desperately prepares to have the family "disappear", but suffers a breakdown when he realizes he does not have enough money because Skyler gave it to Ted. Marie calls Skyler to tell her that the DEA has received an anonymous tip that Hank is a target again, and he is put under protection.
