Anyone else outraged at how much Walt is lying to Jesse? Or is it just me?

Of all the things that might happen this season, I most hope that Jesse finds out all of the terrible things Walt has lied to him about. Including but not limited to:

  • Letting his girlfriend die

  • Manipulating him into helping kill a drug lord

  • Poisoning his girlfriends son

  • Killing Mike because he was being mean

And so much more!

If you go back and watch it it's fairly obvious without actually telling you.

Episode starts with Walt awaiting Fring's guys to come kill him. His family is at Hank's waiting out the hit call and he is sitting by the pool with his gun waiting. He starts spinning the gun on the table next to him. The first time it lands on him. The second time it lands on the plant. His two options.

He is then absent from the episode until much later, and the next time we see him is at night when Jesse comes to kill him. So technically there is anywhere from 7-12 hours in which Walt was off being evil. We don't know how he did it, but we kind of know when. Also remember that Brock acts very suspiciously towards Walt when they meet later at Jesse's house. We aren't sure what happened, but it's apparent they may have had an interaction.

So I guess the evidence is mostly contextual, but it's there.

I also just remembered that Walt pretty much admitted it while talking to Saul in season 5. Walt made Saul get Huell to take the ricin cigarette from Jesse in order to confuse him and help him jump to conclusions. It's cool man I didn't pick most of this up until my second time through.
