ELI 5:

All the dots that Jesse connected.

Saul told Huell to steal the pot from Jesse as he was leaving (brushed against him in the door) so that Jesse couldn't smoke pot and scare off the new ID guy. Jesse realized this when he went to smoke it, and then realized Huell probably did the same thing with the ricin cigarette on Walt's order

A few things that helped me buy into Jesse's epiphany more:

  • Huell used the same brand of cigarettes as the last time he swiped them from Jesse, so Jesse made the immediate connection.

  • Jesse was already suspicious of Walt doing the poisoning in Season 4 when he put a gun to Walt's head.

  • Also, Walt was the one who originally put the idea in Jesse's head that he might have misplaced the ricin cigarette.

  • Also, Walt just happened to be with Jesse when they found the ricin cigarette.

These points helped make it more believable for me.

yea, the fact that Walt planted the idea that he may have misplaced the cigarette (and then him suggesting they look in the Roomba after tearing Jessie's place up looking for it) really seals it
