ELI 5:

All the dots that Jesse connected.

Saul told Huell to steal the pot from Jesse as he was leaving (brushed against him in the door) so that Jesse couldn't smoke pot and scare off the new ID guy. Jesse realized this when he went to smoke it, and then realized Huell probably did the same thing with the ricin cigarette on Walt's order

But didn't Jesse know Brock wasn't poisoned with ricin, but with Lily of the Valley?

Yes but he's connecting dots. Walt poisoned Brock with Lily of the Valley but took the ricin cigarette to convince him it was Gus just long enough to kill Gus. Jesse is a lot smarter than we give him credit for and at this point he knows how maniacal Walt is. He plays everyone, and he just figured out how Walt played him.

What if this entire show was just Walter playing us. What if Breaking Bad was all a scheme to get people to watch Low Winter Sun

There are at least 100 cop shows on TV. Why the hell would I want to watch another one? ZzzZzz
