I'm still fuzzy how a cigarette pack automatically made Jesse think Walt poisoned Brock. There was so much yelling in the Saul scene that I didn't really pick up on it all.

GF thinks the guys at the restaurant murdered the waitress because she overheard them and he wipes blood off his shoe.

I believe the waitress is fine, the blood was from what happened last week.

I'm still iffy about the cigarette scene as well as Walt still has the vile.

The blood was from last week's massacre of the guys who took over Walt's operation.

Jesse had a bag of weed on him, and noticed it got lifted while he was waiting and figured that it was bumping in to Huell where it happened. The cigarette pack reminded him that he had the Ricin in the pack that he "lost" in a similar fashion. I think after the conversation with Walt where Jesse revealed that he knew everything Walt's fed him to be bullshit, he just put two and two together and knew the Ricin had to have been lifted from him.

And like the others, I assumed that the blood was left over from the blood bath from the other episode.

Which would be boring television. This is far more fun and entertaining.

Well, those of you who were sick of Emo Jesse got your wish. Rampaging Jesse was awesome. Intense episode all around.

The scene with Todd and the two henchmen was such a blatant Tarantino ripoff that I think there must be a clue in there.

Walt's gun being covered in frost and ice. Nice hiding place, dude.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Confessions" -- 8/25/13

HUGE leap of deduction on Jesse's part considering:

A. The ricin cigarette was found in the Roomba;
B. Brock's doctors definitively ruled out ricin in favor of a common desert flower.

Sincerely,

Occam

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Confessions" -- 8/25/13

I'm really unclear here... Brock wasn't poisoned by ricin. It was the Lillie of the Valley plant. So even if Jesse deduced that Huel stole the ricin cigarette off him, how does he figure it was done to poison or kill Brock when the doctors ruled that out?

Yeah this is what confuses me as well.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Confessions" -- 8/25/13

Yeah, Jesse does leap to the conclusion and the Brock part doesn't make sense. For the ricin itself, given the subsequent BS conversations with Walt he never fully believed that he would have lost the ricin originally the way Walt convinced him he did?

He knows Walt lied, which he knows means he had something to do with it. I don't think Jesse is thinking past that, hence driving to Walt's home and putting gas all over. Jesse has a history of not thinking at all when he gets angry.

I have to say .... When Jesse kicked in Walt's door I was so expecting that Walt Jr would be there. Those two have never been in the same scene.

Didn't he take the ricin just long enough for him to convince Jesse it was Gus allowing him to kill Gus?

I'm going to be disappointed if the endgame is Walt v. Todd. Walt has Hank over a barrel, and Jesse's obviously on the way to Belize. Todd is a minor character and the audience has no emotional investment in him.

I love the show, and the writing has been masterful, but this instantaneous deduction by a drug-addled, slow-witted emo has to be the biggest leap of credulity the viewer has yet been asked to make.

It looks to me like Todd's crew is going to Mexico, which may mean a return of the cartel.

My jaw hit the floor during that confession tape. Genius.

And to Saul finally getting smacked around. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was confused about Jesse's convenient deduction. Loved the freakout in Walt's house though.

In the cold open they were driving into New Mexico, seemingly to set up shop in Walt's territory.

Jesse has witnessed Walt kill lots of people and dispose of them. He knew right away that Mike was killed by Walt. He's probably the best person to know what Walt is capable of.
