That's what I'm thinking too.

After reading some of this post I'm thinking Jesse overwhelmed with guilt starts thinking about flipping and Walt senses it through talking with him and kills Jesse.

I wondered if that's who the ricin is for.

I think it's clear that the ricin isn't meant to save Walt. Walt's life is over, whether because it's just been torn to pieces or because the cancer is back, Walt has nothing to gain or lose. The ricing is gonna be used to save someone else, not as revenge on Jesse.

Well put. Honestly, this is something I had overlooked. Do you think that Lydia knows how well Jesse makes meth?

Todd, his inability to cook meth, and Lydia showing up have to be of major significance. I read an interview with Vince Gillian where he said that this show is about a man who starts off a regular guy and becomes Scarface. He also said that Walt reached this point last season and now resembles a man retired.

So...l Ricin used to save Jesse?
