So Jesse meets Brock, who's too young to get weird about this guy who was just a minute ago crawling up on his mom. Jesse, as we may recall from last year's adventure with Spooge and Skank, is really adorable with kids, and he fist-bumps Brock to prove it. Still, Andrea leads him to his room, so she and Jesse can talk around the issue of methamphetamine some more, perhaps.
Skyler and Walt are driving home; she's still amazed at what a wad Saul was, while Walt admits he's clownish, but Skyler really should not be involved in this anyway. But Skyler says she's in. "This is what happens when you decide to pay our bills with drug money." As either an attempt to scare Skyler off, or just in the interest of full disclosure, Walt tells her his involvement in the drug game is ongoing. He's got a contract-like situation with a guy. It's all very safe and professional, of course! (Safe! Professional!) But he can't simply quit. If this is a surprise to Skyler, she doesn't register it. Instead, she drives the car into a parking lot. As she and Walt stare at the establishment just outside our range of vision, she tells him this is the way to launder his money right. And then we see they're at a car wash. The car wash Walt used to work at, no less. This gives him a personal connection to the front business, and more importantly (at least for Skyler), it's a narrative that makes sense. "This is what we buy," Skyler says. She immediately corrects herself -- "You. This is what you buy." -- but I'm not sure if anybody believes she wasn't right the first time.
Back outside the church where the NA meeting just let out, Jesse smokes and waits for Bandon and Peter. They ask him if he "did the deed" with Andrea yet, and Jesse acts annoyed by the question, which is how you know he hasn't. "The deed" being selling to her, of course. He asks why Badger and Skinny are even here, since they "can't get [their] nut up to sell." Skinny looks right at him and goes, "I'm on Step 5!" Brandon flashes a pair of fingers and goes, "Deuce, yo." HAHAHA. Man, I loved that. Jesse can't even respond, and brushes past them when Andrea exits the church. It doesn't look like Jesse even attended this meeting. Just smoked and waited for his target. They put their arms around each other as they walk away. And Skinny remarks to Badger that "Dude needs to come into the fold.
