**Cherry** is the first episode of Cold Cherry.

## Plot

### Teaser

The episode begins on a cold open of nothing but white. It then pans up to show a complex of buildings on fire. There are police and helicopters surrounding the mess. The shot changes to inside one of the buildings where there is a dead guy with several bullet wounds. The shot changes to a heavily damaged door labelled Cold Cherry, which falls off it's hinges with a crash. The fallen door reveals an empty chair, which stays on screen for a while.

### Act 1

The first shot of the scene is a chair shop with a glass window advertising the exact chair shown in the teaser. It then shows Caroline sitting by it, on her phone. She is playing some game before a taxi cab pulls up. Caroline gets up and gets in it, telling the driver to take her to the Bernalillo County Courthouse. While the taxi drives her away, Caroline looks back at the chair shop. The scene changes to the outside of the courthouse. Caroline tells the driver to drop her off near the entrance where the parking guard is.

When the taxi drives away she looks straight at the parking guard, Mike Ehrmantraut, which Mike notices. Mike takes out his phone and dials a number, which is revealed to be Caroline's. She tells Mike she has a new job for him, and that they should meet at the Dog House at 3 PM the next day. Mike asks if he could have a little more information about the job, in which Caroline hangs up. She walks away without a second glance. Mike sighs and returns to his newspaper. A 1998 Suzuki Esteem pulls up to the parking booth. Inside of it is Jimmy McGill, who just returned from his failed case with the infamous teens who had sex with a severed head. Mike and Jimmy fight over his parking validation, in which Jimmy angrily returns to the courthouse.

### Act 2

The scene starts at a house where Pete Madden is watching TV. He is flicking through the channels, before settling at a game show. The game show host asks which fruit is commonly associated with ice-cream desserts and such. There is a knock at the door and a male voice yells for Pete to open the door. Pete is shocked and gets up. He looks through the peephole. It is a man with a gun, who is pointing it straight at the peephole. Pete quickly moves out of the way before the gun fires. The man kicks down the door, and runs through it. Pete was quickly putting on pants before running into his garage and starting up his car, a 2004 Mazda 6 Classic. Pete drives, destroying his visibly damaged garage door.

While driving, Pete quickly calls Caroline. Caroline picks up, angry because she told him radio silence unless absolutely necessary. Pete tells her about the man with the gun at his house. Caroline tells him to not worry and not get too far from home before hanging up. Pete looks confused, but parks on the side of the road. He looks at his watch, it says 2:34. The shot goes back to Pete's house where a clock says 3:12. Caroline walks through the busted down door, examining the house. It is completely trashed with anything of value taken. A voice from the hall calls for Pete. Caroline takes out a gun and turns off the safety.

### Act 3

At Fred's Chairs, Caleb Munro is seen at the cash register. He is sitting with his shoes off reading a newspaper. The newspaper is covering about the death of Matt Ehrmantraut. The door opens, it's Harold Craig. Harold tells Caleb about the sudden disappearance of his friend, Greg. Caleb continues to talk to Harold about Greg. While talking, there is a white noise as Caleb flashbacks to him loading a shotgun and blowing a man's head out, and the body falling revealing a name tag for CC Mobile, written on it is Greg. Caleb snaps back to reality as Harold says he has to leave. As Harold drives away Caleb quickly rushes to his 2003 Toyota Corolla and drives to an abandoned warehouse. He opens a freezer where Greg's body is. Knowing that people are aware of his disappearance, he quickly grabs it.

We cut to Caleb sitting at his job, picking up his newpaper and slipping his shoes back on.
