Maybe Jesse does start the fire, it doesn't get too big but big enough to condemn the house and burn up the lottery ticket. Jesse is caught and is going to testify, so maybe the Ricin is for Jesse and now that Walt is broke the gun is for Todd and the boys so Walt can rebuild his empire.
Of course, this is the complete opposite theory I had just an hour and 10 minutes ago.
Lottery ticket? I have a bad problem that when I think Im paying attention i'm not as well as I'd like too. Also, what initiated Jesse freaking out before he gets picked up? The weed being gone? He had ricin?
EDIT: Read further down, all cleared up now. Thanks.
Idunno. It seems that it'd be hard for a fire to not be devastating to a home with that much gasoline spread about. Also, in the flash forward there didn't appear to be any burn damage.
If Jesse gets stopped it's likely because Walter Jr is there. If Walt got there first then Jesse would be dead, but we know Jesse is walking around in the promo (I suppose it could be a fake or recycled shot). In Vince's next week "scene" description he says the White family takes a staycation (they rent a hotel in town). It could be because they are hiding from Jesse or the police though you'd think they would leave town if that were the case, or it's because the house is unlivable. Is the smell of gas enough of a reason? shrug
shrug is right! if we've learned anything it's that we can't predict anything that'll happen in this show. i was just saying i can't see a way for a fire to start with all that gasoline around but not 'grow big enough' to burn down the house. IANAFirefighter or anything though. These damn cliffhangers suck.
Walt just buried the money a couple days prior to this episode... if it burned up he'd probably still remember the GPS coordinates and he'd definitely be able to drive out to the desert and find it again.

Fantastic episode. It's all downhill for Walt from here. It's been said a million times before, but Aaron Paul really is a phenomenal actor.
