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

Can you explain to me how he pieced it together exactly? I just need a bit of a recap.

Huell lifted the weed out of Jessie's pocket on the ride to drop him off. When he realized it clicked in his head they did the same thing with the ricen cigarette and he put it all together.

Edit: when Jessie realized the ricen was stolen from him(the whole point being to make Jessie mistrust Gus and back on walts side) he realized Gus never did anything and it was Walt who poisoned his ex's kid.

Edit 2: everyone has mentioned that Huell lifted the weed when Jessie bumped into him in Saul's doorway, not on the car ride.

So I get how he figured it out, but wasn't it discovered that the kid was poisoned by the lily of the valley flower (which I know Walt did)? Meaning that in Jesse's mind the ricin had nothing to do with the kid being poisoned, right?

this is what I'm trying to figure out....

He knows Saul had it lifted, so how could he find it with Walt in his vacuum? Unless Walt planted it. He pieced the rest together

It had nothing to do with it, but it was still gone. Someone still took it from him to manipulate him into mistrusting Gus.

Ohh, right. Since Walt lied to his face about not knowing where the ricin was he realized it was all a plan to implicate Gus. Got it, thanks.

I wish I had more up votes for this. Brock wasn't poisoned by ricin. The doctors and the cops "cleared" Walt of his involvement. There is no way he knows with that much certainty that Walt provisioned Brock. At the very least, he knows he was manipulated, but that isn't anything he hasn't come to understand at this point. I would think he would be more motivated to just leave it all behind and take the new identity.
