Ted Beneke suffered a severe injury after tripping over a rug and hitting his head in his home while trying to flee from Huell and Kuby, who were sent by Saul Goodman to force him to pay his IRS debts using the money Skyler had secretly given him.
In the television series “Breaking Bad,” Ted Beneke is introduced as the owner of Beneke Fabricators and the former boss of Skyler White, Walter White’s wife. Over the course of the show, Ted becomes involved in a subplot concerning financial issues and his affair with Skyler. After Skyler becomes involved in Walter’s meth business, she uses her knowledge of accounting to help Ted with his company’s financial problems, which include tax evasion.
Skyler, feeling responsible for Ted’s situation and also wanting to cover her tracks, gives him the money to pay off his IRS debts using the illicit funds she has access to through her involvement with Walter’s drug money. However, Ted initially plans to use the money for other purposes, which prompts Skyler to send Saul Goodman’s associates, Huell and Kuby, to force him to write a check to the IRS.
The situation escalates when Ted tries to escape from Huell and Kuby, leading to a freak accident. He trips over his living room rug, falls, and crashes into a piece of furniture, which results in a severe head and neck injury. This injury leaves him hospitalized and incapacitated. The incident effectively removes Ted from the show’s ongoing narrative, as he becomes a non-threatening character due to his condition, and the focus shifts back to the main plot involving Walter White’s drug empire.
