Without telling him, Walter had Cabe bring Tuggle's respirator from evidence and placed it in a gel while pumping oxygen through it to see if it was faulty. Ray discovered the tank and Walter explained the experiment. At first Ray was upset because it looked like it was fine, and he still thought he was responsible. However, a few moments later, bubbles began coming from the tank proving it was faulty. Ray was incredibly grateful towards Walter, because it helped him release the guilt at not being able to save Danny. This allowed him the capability to go out and face the world again.
