Things take a dark turn as Jane later overdoses, with Walt standing over and refusing to help. When Walt holds back Jesse's share of the money, Jane threatens the former teacher by saying she will reveal the truth to his family if the money's not handed over. The demands of the cook mean Walt misses the birth of his daughter – and also drives a wedge between him and drug-addled Jesse. He puts the pair in touch with Gus Fring, a distributor who orders a large batch of meth.

Jesse, meanwhile, draws the ire of his parents due to his erratic behaviour and drug use and is kicked out. Post-Tuco, Walt explains his absence (having not been seen by Hank out in the desert) as being in a fugue-like state thanks to his chemotherapy. However, he is stopped from killing the pair after Hank arrives at the scene – killing Tuco during a shootout. Walt and Jesse concoct a plan to escape but, as they do so, Hector alerts Tuco. Salamance, though, can only communicate via a bell on his wheelchair after suffering a stroke. Season 2 begins with a manic Tuco killing his associates, kidnapping Walt and Jesse, and taking them to a shack in the desert where his uncle, Hector Salamanca, resides.
