gone to visit him. Walt does not tell his son the truth either and takes him home, where he tries to appease Skyler with pizza, to no avail. He later throws the pizza onto the roof in a fit of rage, and Skyler sends him a message, threatening to ask for a restraining order. Furious, Walt proceeds to break into the house in order to forcibly move back in, unaware that Mike is installing surveillance equipment in the house. Unbeknownst to Walt, the "Cousins" – Leonel and Marco Salamanca – approach their uncle, Hector Salamanca, who is now living in a retirement home following Tuco Salamanca's death. He gives them Walt's name and they eventually find his house. The cousins prepare to kill Walt with an axe, but before they can approach him in the shower, an onlooking Mike has Gus Fring text them about a faked drug deal, prompting them to leave.

Pizza-throwing scene During the episode, Walt throws an entire pizza on the roof of the White House out of rage. Cranston was able to throw the pizza onto the roof in a single take. The scene became an internet meme. Fans have occasionally shown up to the real home where the exterior of the White house is filmed and thrown pizza onto the roof, eventually causing much distress to the house's owners. The repeated incidents forced Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan to make a public plea for fans to stop throwing pizzas on the house's roof.
