In flashback, Jimmy and Marco enter the store that McGill left behind in Cicero, Illinois. Hoping to use Indian head penny for game con, Jimmy found his childhood coin collection, hidden in the old Band-Aid box inside the ceiling. He explains that he started a strange collection of coins after his father's fruitless attempt to return rare coins to his owner. Before they left, Jimmy picked up a Band-Aid box.
Plot
Mike, carrying a metal detector and shovel, goes to the location of an ice cream truck robbery. Using the information provided by Nacho, he searched and dug a hole for several hours until he found the body of the good Samaritan killed by Hector. He reports his findings to the police anonymously.
At his home, Chuck shared a journal about the level of pain he was depressed with. Cruz, hoping to get back to the community once more. Dr. Cruz advised him not to get too excited and did not push himself too far. Chuck explains he has an enlightenment that causes him to realize his EHS may be a mental illness after an embarrassing public incident and he hopes to confront his fantasy. He can then go to the nearest supermarket and buy his own groceries, indicating that his condition is improving. However, he is greeted by Howard, who informs him that there is a problem with Chuck's malpractice insurance.
After a successful music store ad, Jimmy had a disagreement with his client about the price. When the shopkeeper refuses to pay him, Jimmy stages a "skid and fell" con, accidentally slipping on a drumstick and injuring himself in the process. Meanwhile, Kim was having lunch with Paige and Kevin when the party was greeted by Howard. He tries to repay his law school loan to Howard, though he refuses and coldly accuses him of betraying the company, which Kim replies that he should not try to cover up Chuck's condition.
Kim returns to the office to find Jimmy with half the rent, showing him using "slipping and falling" to force the guitar shop to pay for it. Despite Jimmy's assurances, Kim still expresses doubts about Jimmy's ability to pay and consider taking other clients. Jimmy was then able to earn $ 700 during his community service, after helping a drug dealer "see a sick child" by threatening his boss with a class action lawsuit.
Nacho put his plan to kill Hector. He damaged the air-conditioning unit, so Hector removed his coat containing his pills. Pretending to find the money collected from his suspicious dealer, he sees Hector as he steals his medicine pills. Nacho then replaced them with a carefully prepared substitute containing ibuprofen and stuffed it into the pocket of Hector's mantle.
At night, Mike realizes he can not spend the remaining $ 200,000 he stole from Hector without attracting suspicion. He approached Gus to seek help in money laundering so that it could be handed over to his family. Gus warns him that they can not be publicly associated but still agrees, warning Mike that the process will be difficult. Both men shook hands.
