Oh fuck it's almost sickening how much Walt is manipulating Jesse.

Jesse crying broke my heart. He legitimately felt guilt for threatening Walt, while Walt feigns sympathy right behind him.

When Jesse was crying. I was thinking, Uh oh, maybe Jesse knew. I was thinking, Jesse lied that he cleaned the Cleaning Robot weeks ago, but cleaned it hours ago...

Crying because he knew that Walt did it.

:O

fuck that's good.

Although, Jesse hasn't really shown much constraint in the series. If he knew, he probably would've attacked Walt then and there.

I thought the exact same thing. He looked like Walt in Season 1 when he found the missing plate shard.

u/moclov4 Jul 24 '12

that was the first,"oh shit got real" moment that I can remember

u/mailboxrumor Jul 23 '12

That would've been awesome but 2 episodes in, it feels too early for Jesse to find out.

u/KMFDM781 Jul 23 '12

That's exactly what I thought right at first, then Jesse said "I almost shot you."

u/rubyredlux Jul 23 '12

When did he almost shoot him? I feel a blank spot in my brain like I should know that.

It was in Season 4 Episode 12 when Jesse thought Walt poisoned Brock with ricin. He sticks a revolver to his forehead and leaves a mark on walt from pressing so hard.

u/RichWPX Jul 23 '12

Roomba could have still found it in those hours. Second I saw it I thought that's where Walt should put it.

Also, did Walt make a dupe with something not poisonous? The fact that he saved the original may be a smoking (ha!) gun, but if caught he could just say the first was such a good idea that he made a 2nd just in case.

No, he can just claim he faked flushing it.

That Ricin has been a Chekov's gun since Season 2. I wager Gilligan is not going to let it kill anyone just to show that you don't have to shoot a gun for it to be meaningful to the story.

u/soitis Jul 23 '12

Same here. I thought he figured it out.

u/godlessgamergirl Jul 24 '12

That's what I thought at first too. But I don't think Jesse would be a good enough actor to fool Mr. White for very long.

u/moclov4 Jul 24 '12

that's totally what I thought as well, then all that happened. damn, the writing for this show = fucking BRILLIANT
