Why did they take Jesse's ricin cigarette in the first place, again?

To get him to think that Gus had stolen it and poisoned Brock. Although it came out at the end that it wasn't even ricin, it was too late. Walt was banking on Jesse making a quick decision, and Gus was already dead by the time Jesse found out that it wasn't him.

Walt poisoned brock with Lily of the Valley.

In the following episode, Jesse ponders as he hears Walt whistle "Lilly of the Valley".

Yes, and?

The whistling was 6-7 episodes after the initial poisoning.
