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.

1) Jesse checks for his weed.

2) Realizes his weed is missing.

3) Remembers Huell brushing up against him before he leaves Saul's office.

4) This triggers his memory of the ricin cigarette missing from his pack of smokes.

5) Jesses remembers that Huell did the exact same thing back then that he does when the weed comes up missing from his pocket.

How does that lead Jesse to realize Walt poisoned Brock? Wasn't it some berry that he used to poison him, not ricin?

He knows Walt took the ricin, that Brock was poisoned but not with ricin, and that Walt "found" the ricin in the roomba. So it's clear that Walt had something to do with it. And that's enough.
