I remembered little about that episode and reading that reminded me why. I found it a bit of out of character for Walt and a bit boring. There was little content in that episode, I'm not sure what details from it would be important for the movie but then again, this is Vince Gilligan we're talking about.
The next show was Abiquiu. It has a bit of the continuation of Jesse skimming and has Badger and Skinny Pete there. Might be the tie in. Portion from Wikipedia below
"Meanwhile, Walt warns Jesse about skimming some of their meth product, which he continues to deny doing. Jesse takes what he has stolen to a
Narcotics Anonymous meeting to give to
Badger and
Skinny Pete to help peddle. The two reveal they can't bring themselves to sell meth to recovering addicts, so Jesse shows them how easy it is by striking up a conversation with
Andrea, a newcomer to the meetings. He soon becomes attached to Andrea while surreptitiously attempting to sell her product. Andrea invites him to her home, where Jesse discovers she has a son,
Brock. From him, Jesse learns Andrea has a younger brother named
Tomás, although she initially refuses to talk about him. Later, Andrea suggests they use
meth, but Jesse declines now that he knows she has a child, and the two argue. Andrea insists she wants to avoid having Brock suffer from the same fate as Tomás, who, as part of an initiation to a local drug gang, shot a rival dealer at a street corner. Jesse recognizes the murder is similar to that of
Combo a few months prior."
