For a variety of reasons, I never managed to watched the last half-season of “Breaking Bad.” I almost obsessively watched the rest of the entire series, and had every intention of getting around to watching it. I have therefore avoided reading much about it for fear of spoilers. But NOW…I’m finally watching the end of the series. I’m up to ep. 12 (“Rabid Dog”), involving one plot point that I only half-remember. Jessie was on his way out of town with a whole new identity waiting for him, when he reached into his pocket and seemed to realize something. He then went to reach into his pocket and somehow realized something. The shot lingered on a pack of cigarettes and then Jessie marched off to put a royal smackdown on Saul. It’s clear that somehow Jessie figured out Walt had his girlfriend’s son poisoned. I also remember there was something to do with a poisoned cigarette that I think was intended for Gus Fring, but never used. I’m not sure how Jessie connected the dots between cigarettes and the kid though. (Didn’t Walt poison the kid with flowers from his backyard garden?) Can anybody refresh my memory? ---

[Moderating] A lot of shows have had five or more seasons, so your title isn’t very informative of what you’re talking about. I’ve edited it to fix that. ---

From Wikipedia for “End Times”: > [@](#): > > Saul reveals that Gus took Walter to the desert and threatened his family, a revelation by which Jesse is taken aback. Jesse later receives a call from Andrea (Emily Rios) that her son, Brock, has become seriously ill and is in the hospital. Jesse discovers the ricin cigarette, that he kept handy to poison Gus, is missing and concludes that Brock somehow ingested the ricin. > > Jesse confronts a paranoid Walter at the Whites’ house. Jesse grabs Walter’s gun and points it at him, accusing him of poisoning Brock out of spite. Walter claims that Gus must have planned Brock’s poisoning and framed Walter for it in order to manipulate Jesse into killing him; the cameras around the lab probably spotted the cigarette, and Tyrus must have taken it out of Jesse’s locker, tracked down Brock, and poisoned him. From Wikipedia for “Confessions”: > [@](#): > > Jesse then agrees to leave, but while packing to do so, Saul scolds him for possessing marijuana for the journey. While Saul makes arrangements for Jesse’s departure from Albuquerque, he has Huell take Jesse’s marijuana without his knowledge. While Jesse is waiting for the van that will relocate him, he notices the pot is gone, and suddenly realizes that Huell must have pick-pocketed it as well as the ricin cigarette that he previously believed Gus used to poison Brock. Jesse returns to Saul’s office and physically attacks him, holding him at gunpoint and demanding to know about his role in Brock’s poisoning. So the realisation he has is that Saul’s friend Huell is capable of stealing his cigarettes (including the ricin cigarette).
