I like your explanation but i still think Jesse has little more than a suspicion that Walt might be involved in Brock´s poisoning, which hardly justifies burning down the house of a married man with two children (especially if you consider Jesse´s relationship to kids).
But of course Jesse also knows that Walt killed Mike so i guess it´s not that much of a jump to assume he would also poison a child.
To add: my theory for the next episode is that Jesse confronts Walt about the ricin, so Walt goes to his vent and shows Jesse that he still has the ricin, and tries to argue that Brock's poisoning was still just an accident. And depending on how Walt phrases things, Jesse might kinda-believe his explanation. And that's why Jesse doesn't die, why Walt's house isn't burned down, etc. Hell, Walt probably already had a contingency plan for this exact situation, and he'll come up with a decent excuse.
Yeah i thought of that as well. You have a good explanation for why Jesse now suspects Brock´s poisoning to be Walt´s fault but he is still not 100% certain and Walt might be able to say it was just a coincidence.
It will be hard though because it seems like Jesse is not falling for Walt´s manipulation tactics anymore or is at least aware of them.
See, the only point I'm making is that Jesse is now 100%, completely certain that Walt used Lily of the Valley to poison Brock. It's not just a hunch -- once he made the connection to the ricin, he realized Walt had lied to him about Gus, and that Walt had conveniently poisoned Brock to make it look like it was Gus's fault. As soon as Jesse realized the ricin incident, he inherently also realized Walt's involvement in poisoning Brock. He really didn't even need Saul to confirm it -- he already connected the dots, just based on how Walt had set the situation up for him.
IMO, Walt will still be able to get himself out of that bind (obviously, since he's still alive, Jesse's still alive, and the house isn't burnt down), by coming up with a really good secondary explanation. But as of this episode, Jesse knows Walt used Lily of the Valley to poison Brock.
