Lore & Background
Walt tells Jesse he needs time to reassure his family after his "fugue state" before cooking again and gives him $600. His forced cheerfulness at breakfast unsettles Skyler, who leaves the house without saying where she goes. Jesse's parents, having found the meth lab in his basement, evict him from his late aunt's house; Jesse protests that he earned it by caring for her, and his mother slaps him. His friends all refuse to take him in.
