Jesse visits Walt's house that evening, and once again implores him to sell off his methylamine. Walt refuses still. He tells Jesse about [[Recap/BreakingBadS1E5GrayMatter Gray Matter, the research company he helped found]] and which he, himself, named. Before the company got off the ground, he sold his share of the company after a conflict with his partners, an even fifty percent, for $5000. The company is now worth over $2 billion, and Walt remains incensed over having sold his "children's birthright" for pennies on the dollar. He brings up Jesse's earlier question and answers that he is in neither the meth business nor the money business; he is in the empire business. Jesse rolls his eyes.

* DramaticIrony: Marie can tell there's something deeply wrong going on in Skyler's life, but Skyler, for obvious reasons, can't come out with the truth. Marie ends up assuming it's about her affair with Ted, which she learned from Walt, and Skyler has no choice but to roll with that explanation.

Jesse is immediately all for getting rid of Todd as quickly as possible, referring to him as an utter "wack job" and a loose cannon. Somewhat reluctantly, Walt outlines the pragmatic argument: the kid had seen them, and even if he didn't understand what he was seeing, he could still have told somebody. Jesse is not buying it, and claims that they would have "figured it out" if Todd hadn't made a decision for them. Walt proposes three options: fire Todd and pay him off to keep silent, [[DeadlyEuphemism dispose of him]], or let him keep working for them under their control. Jesse votes to fire him, but Mike and Walt both vote to keep him on their payroll. Mike informs Todd that he's still in, but furiously warns him to never again to bring a gun to another job without Mike's permission.

** FromACertainPointOfView: He conviniently leaves out that the ''only'' reason for Skyler's behavior is his involvement in the meth ring. If she'd learned that he quits for good, there's no doubt she would've mellowed out in no time.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Downplayed. Todd brings up his uncle having connections as a reason to keep him around, but more as an offer for what he can provide to their business. Jesse believes Todd is playing a straighter example with this, first as an intimidation tactic and then as a way of boasting. Mike admits he knew about those connections, but doesn't think it matters anyway, calculating that anybody would come looking if Todd "disappeared".

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The team begins to debate about what to do with Todd after the death of Drew Sharp. Walt and Mike concede to Todd's purely pragmatic decision to leave no witnesses behind, as brutal and shocking as his actions were. Jesse counters that they should have left him alive on the chance Drew wouldn't have known about what they were doing out there. Walt and Mike note they have no idea how much Drew could've known and there would be no way of knowing what would happen next, as they would still risk Drew having some form of knowledge of what happened. Jesse responds that they could have figured something out, and now they can't because Todd made the decision for them.
