Warning: heavy spoilers for this episode ahead. In the world of Breaking Bad, this was a relatively quiet episode. A lot happened, but it was mostly character driven, not action.
Once again, we begin with a flashback, this time we get to see how that ubiquitous RV was actually acquired. Shortly after Walt met with Jesse to discuss going into business together, Walt (still sporting a full head of hair) hands over $8500 dollars (which is basically all his money) to get them an RV to cook in. Jesse takes the money and immediately tries to find the best deal for them. Nah, I’m just kidding.
Intoxicated by the cash burning a hole in his pocket, Jesse heads to a strip bar, and promptly proceeds to order $400 bottles of “Don-Perri-Don” as he calls it. He’s cavorting with the now deceased Combo, and the two party their balls off until the sun rises. When Jesse walks out of the bar, he is dismayed to find that he only has $1400 of the original $8500 left. Where is he going to find an RV for that measly sum? Fortunately, Combo knows just the RV, and the deal is done.

He is casing the RV with partner Steven, and since all the windows are covered, he decides to climb up on top of the RV to look through the rooftop window.
