The Beginning of "Buried" starts off with an old man strolling out of his house and jumping in his car. As the lights are turned on, the old man notices a stack of money in his drive way. He grabs the money and sees more and more wads of cash in the neighborhood. As he is picking up all the money, he sees lights in a playground. The lights are coming from Jesse's car. Jesse crashed his car into a swing set. The old man sees Jesse on a spinning ride going round and round. Jesse is definitely spinning out of control.
The scene shifts back to Hanks garage. Walt walks out to his car and calls Skylar. He cant get a hold of her and notices that Hank is on the phone with Skylar. Walt becomes frantic and starts searching for Skylar. Hank on the other hand sets up a meeting with Skylar. Sky meets Hank at a diner to go over what she knows. Hank also tells Skylar that Walt's cancer is back. Sky asks for a lawyer and in the end breaks down and barges out.
Becoming more and more paranoid, Walt arranges Saul's goons to get the money from the storage. Walt and Saul's posse meet up and exchange the money. Walt drives out to the desert and buries the money. While Walt is in the desert, Hank and Marie go and visit Sky at home. Skylar only lets Marie in and they have a heart to heart. Skylar says nothing except that she's sorry. Marie slaps Sky and tries to take the baby. Walt interacts and tells her to leave the baby with Skylar.
Walt returns home and passes out in the bathroom. When he wakes up him and Skylar talk and explains she didn't say anything.
