History Recap / BreakingBadS3E11Abiquiu

* AmbiguousSituation: There are children's toys visible in Gus' house, and he mentions to Walt that his favorite Chilean dish is one he can't cook often because "the kids don't like it". This is the only mention between either show of Gus having a family (though his speech to Walter in "[[Recap/BreakingBadS3E5Mas Mas]]" implied that he was providing for a family as well) so it may be that he's making all of it up to appeal to Walt's family values. However, given the fact that other characters like [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS1E2Mijo Tuco]] and [[Recap/BreakingBadS5E2Madrigal Lydia]] are shown to have family members that are similarly [[SatelliteCharacter only minor parts]] of their otherwise criminal lives, it isn't truly clear how much of it is a lie. According to Creator/GiancarloEsposito, photos of Gus and his children (actually [[RealLifeRelative Esposito's own daughters]]) were actually prepared as props for the set, but went unused in the actual filming.

From this, Jesse comes to a frightening realization: the people responsible for Combo's death are on Gus's payroll!

In a flashback, Jesse and Jane [[Recap/BreakingBadS2E9FourDaysOut visit the Georgia O'Keefe museum]] in Abiquiu. As they drive back, Jesse says it was boring of O'Keefe to paint the same door over and over again, assuming she was trying to make it perfect. Jane argues that she painted the door so many times because she loved it and saw something new everytime, so she wanted to make that feeling last. She put out a cigarette in Jesse's car with a [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E10Fly lipstick smudge on it.]]

Meanwhile, Jesse seduces Andrea in an effort to coax her into buying his blue meth. His sales pitch to her comes to an abrupt halt when her five-year-old son, Brock, returns home. Jesse and Brock hit it off and become fast friends, and he refuses to sell to Andrea after finding out she's a mother. Andrea calls Jesse out on his hypocrisy, asking how a drug dealer like him could tell her how to live her life. She insists that she is a good mother, and that she wouldn't let what happened to her younger brother Tomás happen to her son. She confides in Jesse that Tomás had fallen in with a gang and, at the age of 10, was made to assassinate a rival drug dealer, shooting him through the neck. Jesse becomes horrified as he learns that Tomas was the one who [[Recap/BreakingBadS2E11Mandala killed Combo]]...
