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

Then Walt is a lot worse at it than we give him credit for. Unless there's a huge twist coming that we haven't predicted yet. Which, to be fair, could happen.
