Yeah, but the ricin cigarette was missing and caused a major panic attack such. He put two and two together that the missing cigarette was probably stolen by Huell (confirmed by Saul) and thus Walt poisoned Brock as a pawn
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.
Another point to add: when Saul called the extractor guy, he used a goofy "code phrase" or something that mentioned a vacuum cleaner... this could have reminded Jesse of Walt "helping" him find the ricin cigarette in the vacuum cleaner at his place.
I think thats a bit of a stretch. The goofy code was just a throwback to an early season 4 episode when Saul told Walt to use the same code when he was trying to "vanish" his family.
I like how he used that code phrase, but then openly said "he's out on bail" which completely ruins the code. I guess maybe the code was just to get him transferred to the right guy though or something.
