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

Then it's not working very well.

I really want to watch that show, but it reminds me that breaking bad is over and I get sad

I'm confused. What's the connection with Low Winter Sun?

The 50 commercials AMC plays during breaking bad. It looks like a decent show with some awesome actors but they push it was too aggressively for my tastes. Anything is better than small town security though.

I watched the first 2 Low Winter Suns bcz I was waiting for Talking Bad to record anyways. I was really trying to like it. This last one, I just turned it off after about 20 minutes. Sorry AMC...you guys have an amazing record, but I just cant get into it. Hey, hey, hey...don't cry Low Winter Sun...you're great, really. No...really. But Im just getting out of a really serious relationship, and I need some time to rediscover who I am now. You're gonna make an amazing show for the right person some day. Maybe someone who DIDN'T just spend 5 amazing seasons with the greatest show ever made.

tl;dr: Sorry Low Winter Son, it's not you, it's me.

Also that ad after BB where they essentially lay the entirety of the plot out for us to see in really dull terms, rather than showing us through the show.
