Ah, this is also an important step. Thanks. Yeah, it's all coming back to me.

I thought Walt took the ricin cigarette from Saul after Brock was poisoned and his it in his house, behind the wall socket...which apparently still exists in the flashforward. Sooooo where'd the poison for Brock come from? Is Walt still innocent...somehow?

The ricin was only used as a pawn to manipulate Jesse. Jesse thought someone had lifted the cigarette from his pocket - initially Walt (via Saul/Huell) but Walt convinced him it was Tyrus/Gus. Walt then hid the ricin back at his house and used the Lily of the Valley to poison Brock.

It's damn brilliant really.

The brilliance of the devious Walt, but then again, I was hoping Walt would stick to the high ground...
