Plot Summary:Jimmy, recently released from jail, faces felony charges, with Chuck acting as his defense. After his release, Jimmy suspects the Kettlemans of embezzlement. He subtly warns Kim about the family's safety and anonymously warns the Kettlemans, but that night, crime boss Tuco has already set his sights on them. The next day, the Kettlemans' home is ransacked, and the entire family is missing. Jimmy contacts his associate Nacho, only to find him arrested and identified as the suspect. Police pinpoint Nacho through a neighbor's tip, but Nacho maintains his innocence, implying Jimmy might be exposed. Jimmy investigates the scene, finds the youngest daughter's doll missing, and deduces the Kettlemans staged their own kidnapping. He confesses to Kim but gets no results. Finally, inspired by a parking attendant, he finds the Kettlemans camping on a nearby hill. During the confrontation, the cash from their bag scatters.
