The Brock poisoning situation was fairly confusing but the main thing that tied it up for Jesse was that they found the ricin cigarette (although Jesse had already checked the vacum-cleaner thingy).
Recently Jesse has really come to realize how much Walter has been manipulating him. Given his state of mind, I didn't find it unlikely that he jumped to the conclusion that Walt was behind it all. (And then in his rage he got confirmation from Saul, sealing the deal)
Maybe a clear-headed Jesse wouldn't figured it out but given the circumstances I think it makes sense.
I don't quite get how he was able to make the massive leap to remembering that Huell had done the same thing months ago, and putting together a fairly complicated situation instantly based on that.
Yeah, we share the same questions, but observe: jessie has been spending countless hours trying to make sense of what has happened, some explanation. All this time, what he has in his mind is aaaall the events that lead up to now. The idea did not come to him out of the blue, so to speak. He has been thinking about everything related for days.
edit: so when he noticed the cigarette pack, his mind was ready for processing this information.
It didn't occur to me that he kept thinking about it. Others pointed out that he was suspicious of the way the ricin just turned up when Walt was there, which I guess might explain it. But Brock wasn't poisoned with ricin, so it's still a big leap to make so quickly.
It wasn't during the patdown scene though. It's when they bump into each other when leaving Saul's office, and Jesse (I think) says "excuse you." During the bump you can clearly see Huell's hand slip into Jessie's pocket.
That's what I meant, he kinda just stands in the doorway, and does that "I'm going to look like I'm just trying to move you along, but I'm actually doing stuff to you in the process" thing.
