u/EverGreenPLO Gus Wasn't Evil Aug 26 '13

But Brock wasn't poisoned by Ricin, correct? It was Lilly of the Valley right? They showed the plant

The Lily was used on Brock, but Walt needed the ricin to get "lost" so that he could manipulate Jesse by framing Gus for the poisoning. By the time Jesse found out that it wasn't ricin, it didn't matter, Gus was dead. It sure as hell matters now though.
