When Jessie realized that Huell just switched out the weed out of his cigarette box before he left...Huell probably was the one who took the ricin cigarette out of his cigarette box when the kid died.

Hit the nail on the head.

Kudos,loved how exactly Jesse worked it out and at such crucial timing too.

What has that got to do with Brock being poisoned and Jesse copping it?

This show is fucking with my perception of time! What an episode!

Man, this is just gonna get messier and messier.

As for the big reveal for Jessie and the ricin, well, it's a bit of a leap. But they made the leap a whole lot shorter with the face off with Walt in the desert. Jessie showed he knew he was just a pawn in the bigger picture for Walt, and that he had played him every which way. The minute he realized that Huell had picked his pocket, all the ricin story fell into place for him, and the mastermind behind it all.

That video was insane too, jaysus he is just so evil now!!

Hank Scorpio

Great episode but having some problems remembering all the risen scenarios, so its not really coming together for me

johnpatrick81

for those not clear on the ricin history - http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Ricin

Another amazing episode.

Here is the scene when Huell swaps out the cigarette box with ricin and replaces them with another packet (5X01)

Body is literally shaking all over after watching that...I dunno where to start.

Kirby

We know that the house doesn't burn down because we have seen it still standing in the flash forwards so, here is my theory for next week. As Jessie is soaking the house in gasoline, Walt Jr comes ambling out of his room and Jessie stares at him and then just flee's. Then he goes to Hank and well.....you can guess the rest.

johnpatrick81

or Hank tails Jessie from Saul's and stops him just as he is gonna light it up.

Sinfonia

or Walt figures Jesse will go to the house.

Very interesting though. Wonder if Walt will arrive to confront him or if junior is at home.

These weekly cliffhangers are killing me.

Sinfonia

Todd isn't just Meth Damon, he is seriously Matt Damon.

banquo

I spent the last scene channelling Mrs. Lovejoy ("The baby!")

I'd say Walt. Jr will arrive out and catch Jesse, Walt arrive home then immediately.

I thought Walt had planted a ricin cigarette during the hug scene!

The diner in the opening, is it same same one from the 1st flashforward? The bathroom definitely looked similar. Also, they made a point to dwell on the waitress as if we should notice her, is she the same girl Walt leaves a tip to the flashforward? So much happened in that episode, will require at least 2 more viewings!

acquiescefc

No i think this was just some route 66 diner whereas the Epi 1 was a Dennys opposite the university of NM.

this was where todd was

Jesse figuring out thst Saul had the ricin lifted from him was huge leap too far for me. For him to deduce that, he'd have to remember that Huell had bumped into him in the exact same way that time. Way too much has gone on in Jesse's life since then for him to realistically have remembered that.

Apart from that, what an episode. The confession tape was a huge surprise and one that makes me think that all of these theories thst people have come up with as to how this show will end, are ultimately going to be way off the mark.

TwoShedsJackson

The scene of Hank and Marie watching the 'confession' has leaped to the head of the (very long) list of greatest ever Breaking Bad scenes. That whole episode was sensational.

Every episode so far has been at the level of 'second-last episode ever so we dump a load of twists/reveals to set up for the finale'. And there are still four more before the finale. Amazing.

Padraig Mor

It's been said here before that Jesse is mission-oriented. Well, I guess he just got himself a mission!

Like Hank's discovery of the Walt Whitman book, the weed/pickpocketing thing was perhaps a bit contrived, but we'll go with the flow anyway! Once you ignore that, I don't think it was THAT big a leap to Jesse copping about the ricin. Seemed to me that the weed was kept in the cigarette packet so once he knew Huell could get in there that fast, I'm not surprised the ricin cigarette was the first thing that came to mind.

I guess we'll find out before the show ends but I think if it came down to a question of his own survival Walt would send Jesse "to Belize" without hesitation. He's broken all the way bad.

Brilliant episode, was completely surprised by that confession dvd!

Jesse had actually guessed that Huell lifted the Ricin cigarette from him at the time when he went to Walt's house to kill him after Brock was poisoned, but Walt talked him out of it and convinced him it was Gus or Gus' men. Jesse realising that Huell lifted his weed in this episode made him realise that he'd been right the first time and Huell did take the ricin from him.

Huell didn't bump into him the first time, he acted like he was searching him, so it would have been easier for Huell to lift it then than simply bumping into him.

I don't think it's too big a leap at all. It's likely something that's been nagging at Jesse, especially since he now realises how much Walt has been playing him. He's now questioning everything Walt has said and done in the past. This is simply an extension of that.

The One Who Knocks

Wait, correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't Jesse discover that Brock was poisoned by the lily of the valley plant?
If so, then why does he care if the ricin was stolen or not?

Remember Mikes Half Measure/Full measure speech to Walt, I think Walt took a half measure in dealing with Jesse and now he knows about the Ricin cig.

I think this this song would have been perfect for Jesses scenes at the end

Because Walt stealing the ricin meant he manipulated Jesse into thinking it was Gus that used it to poison Brock, and that Walt was actually the one to poison him (even though he used the plant instead of the ricin, it still could have killed Brock, just less chance of doing so than with the ricin).

Did Walt put the idea in Jesses head that it was Ricin that had poisoned Brock ?

Yes and no. Jesse went out for a ciggie at the hospital when Brock was there and noticed the missing ricin cigarette, and then presumed that Brock had gotten his hands on it.

I dunno. From what I remember it was explained to Jesse thst it was Liliy of the Vallley and more than likely occurred while Brock was playing outside.

There should really be no reason for Jesse to suspect anything further imo. Theres an awful lot of connecting the dots to do for a guy as mentally distressed as Jesse.

Remember, hes's not deducing thst the ricin was stolen and used to poison Brock, merely thst it was stolen as a front to blame Gus. I'm not sure Jesse reaslistically should be connecting these two things.

Mr E

I dare anyone to say that was boring.

Wow.

and i dont think anyone was killed in it either? :P

what an episode..my brain is still trying to take in everything that happened in it.

now the waiting game until next week!

Dempsey

Thoughout the show, depressed or not, Jesse has shown a great awareness of things going on that arent so obvious.

Like Mike bringing Jesse the man that stole his money. Do you remember Jesse explaining why Mike wouldnt kill him?

Even this episode, Jesse had deduced that Hank had gone rogue on the Heisenberg case by his behaviour and he was depressed.

And there are plenty other examples of this

Jesse is alot smarter than people give him credit for.

Great episode! Hank was fairly hamstrung until the end, Jesse is going to give him the evidence to take his case legit!

I loved the look on Hank's face during the food court scene.......


and the look on his face while listening to the confession UNREAL



:eek:

Given the levels he knows Walt has stooped to, the fact that someone intentionally stole the ricin from him (Walt being the only one who knew about it) and the very convenient timing of Brock being poisoned right after his ricin went missing, and how the symptoms of the Lily of the valley looked a lot like the effects of ricin, again I don't think it's that big a leap.

The waiter picking up on the tension was a great moment too.

Hang on, I'm still confused about this....

Fair enough, Jesse realised that it was Walt that stole his ricin, it was confirmed to Jesse that it was lily of the valley that poisoned Brock..

Oh wait I get you, Jesse's not angry about Walt harming Brock, it's the fact the he manipulated him into hating Gus (intentionally) Jesse felt sorry for blaming Gus when he realised it was the plant. However at that time he did not know that Walt manipulated him.

Sorry it's just a bit of a blur to me, I watched 1-4 in a few days

The One Who Knocks

Overall though, a great episode. I was worried it would go down the route of Walt turning himself in, or Jesse disappearing, but I love the way it still manages to keep us guessing!

This definitely adds to the Walt killing Jesse theory though, he's a weak link in the chain and needs to be dealt with.

Pretty much, though he probably realises that Walt had something to do with Brock being poisoned due to the timing of it all, so he'd also be p*ssed about Walt harming Brock. I think the whole thing was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Jesse's been on edge for so long that even just a suspicion of Walt having caused Brock's poisoning pushes him over the edge.

Reiketsu

What a great episode! I was shaking when Jesse realised, wondering what he was going to do next. I thought I still had about 10 minutes to go when it ended, concept of time ruined :P

Penn

Walt's confession tape was the highlight for me. Pure genius, and of all the things he's done, the fact that this one is so close to home as it's Hank.... He's really gone to another level. Be interesting to see if he finds any sort of redemption before the end of the series.

No, he realised that the longer Jesse stayed around, the more likely it was that he would talk to Hank. So go or be killed, maybe?

My head is still melting at this a bit.
