In a flashback, Chuck and Jimmy are at their mother's bedside in a hospital. Jimmy leaves to buy sandwiches for himself and for Chuck, who has not eaten for days. While Jimmy is gone, his mother wakes and calls his name twice - ignoring Chuck - before passing away. Jimmy returns to find his mother's room empty, and asks Chuck if their mother awakened or had any last words. Chuck says she did not. In the present, Jimmy rushes into the copy store and orders the clerk to call an ambulance. In the hospital, Chuck, now stable, wonders how it was possible for Jimmy to come to his aid in the copy store when Chuck had only been unconscious for less than a minute, correctly deducing that Jimmy had bribed the clerk and then stayed to watch. However, Ernesto speaks up and lies that he called Jimmy before going to the copy store. Elsewhere, Mike purchases a sniper rifle and ammunition, intending to kill Hector Salamanca. He positions himself on a ridge overlooking a spot in the desert where Hector and his crew are preparing to execute the driver whose truck Mike robbed in the previous episode, but Mike is unable to get a clear shot at his target because Nacho is standing directly in front of Hector. Behind him, Mike hears his car horn blaring. He finds a branch wedged against the horn and a note on the windshield with a single word: "Don't." Back in the hospital, Chuck has been ordered to undergo an MRI and a CAT scan against his will. The doctor tells Jimmy that Chuck is otherwise healthy, but has entered a stress-induced coma as a result of the scan. Jimmy refuses to commit Chuck but takes temporary guardianship of him. When Chuck finally wakes, Jimmy takes him home. Later, Howard calls Jimmy to inform him that Chuck has quit HHM. Jimmy rushes to Chuck's house, where he finds his brother plastering the walls, floor, and ceiling of his living room with reflective foil sheets. Chuck explains that the walls of his home were doing nothing to deflect electromagnetic rays, and this has led to the deterioration of his mind over time, hence his elementary mistake with the Mesa Verde documents. Desperate for his brother to keep practicing law, Jimmy confesses to tampering with the documents and bribing the copy store clerk, assuring Chuck that Chuck's mind is not deteriorating. When Jimmy leaves, Chuck unveils a tape recorder he had hidden and activated prior to Jimmy's arrival.
