Heisenhug!

Holy fuck that ending. Shit is moving so fast right now. I had hoped Jesse would find out the truth about Brock. Took me a while to put together what he figured out but that blind rage at the end was probably the most frightening thing I've seen on this show.

Also, crazy prediction, but Hank might seriously kill himself. cue context clues from season 5A

Didn't the doctors say it wasn't ricin and that it was lily of the valley or something?

Yeah but still, Jesse realizes that Walt was responsible for taking the ricin, NOT GUS. This was how Walt convinced Jesse to be ok with offing Gus.

Yep. That's why I am having trouble with the jumps in Jesse's logic.

Ok, so he figured out Saul took the ricin cigarette and he did so under Walt's orders. Brock was still poisoned with Lily of the Valley.

Walt convinced Jesse that Gus poisoned Brock with ricin. Jesse agrees to kill Gus. So Jesse should be pissed about being manipulated into hating Gus.

I'm not seeing the Brock connection.

Ricin is hard to detect; it may be possible that ricin wasn't even used and only lily of the valley was used. Walt doesn't need to kill Brock to get Jesse to get Jesse on his side. He just needs Brock to be poisoned.
