Breaking Bad

bullshit. Gus would have never suspected his car was ridged.bullshit

lol I gotta call bullshit. he probably saw it 1000 times but at a hospital parking garage?

If he got a vibe from his car then he has to know Jesse set him up in the next episode. No way a rival cartel member would know he was going to a hospital.

did gus actually see walt?



also dat Walt x Jessie collab

homie just told me he saw the reflection off dudes glasses?

gus is gonna go hard at walt either way haha

maybe next season? also i felt bad for saul cos last episode when walt was preparing to leave saul was trying to say goodbye but walt, as usual, was too self-absorbed to notice/care. same thing happened with jesse, but i love jesse so he can do no wrong.

also did anyone think walt was gonna confess to the jane thing to stop jesse killing him? like a "why would i lie about that if i told you this" kinda thing.

i want someone to kill tyrus. he's cool but like snoop on the wire he's way too smug about nothing in particular.

I don't think Gus poisoned the kid. How could Gus know about the poison? The only time Jesse pulled the poison out was when they were in that trailer but no one saw. I guess Gus could have bugged Jesse but there was never any reference to that. My first thought was that the kid smoked the cigarette but maybe Walt did poison the kid. Gus doing it doesn't make sense to me unless he used the same poison he used to poison the cartel.

There's still the possibility that both Jesse and Walt's houses are bugged. If they are then Gus would have know about the risen since Walt gave it to Jesse at Jesse's house. They also had their latest confrontation at Walt's house.

Hell, they even showed mike bugging Walt's house in season 2. (or 3 I forget which).

Regarding the kid bumming the loaded cigarette and smoking it: That seems highly implausible, the ricin was in a capsule that wouldn't easily burn. I doubt the kid could have smoked it via the cigarette. Also you can't smoke ricin, it's a peptide and heat would denature it.

How did Gus know something was up with the car? Guess he pieced it together. Jesse hinted that he knew it was Gus, Gus figures that means he's talked to Walter and that the two have hatched a plan. I'd say it's more extreme caution than anything.

as walt said, gus has always been 10 steps ahead. gus just seems like a really smart guy, and he wouldn't have got to that point without knowing when something might be going down. and anyway, what's the harm in being too cautious?

Why the fuck does no one remember that Walt made the Ricin IN THE LAB! Of course Gus could have found out.

Is anyone else terrified that Walt actually DID somehow find a way to poison Brock, just so he could feed Jesse that story? This season is supposed to end with Walt doing something completely amoral and monstrous but I hope that isn't it.

Yep. The way Gus' entire demeanor changed when Jesse mentioned Brock was poisoned sorta tipped me in that direction. He went from being pissed that Jesse wasn't at work and giving no fucks about Brock whatsoever, to much more calm, telling jesse to take some time off. It seemed to me that might be leading Jesse on and allowing him to believe he poisoned Brock, whether he did it or not. So yeah, it's totally possible that walt did it to turn Jesse against Gus and Gus is going wit it for the time being. Could be completely wrong though.

It seems like the whole episode (the whole series) hinges on when walt says to jesse "do you think I'm the kind of man that would poison a child?" This is the question the writers have posed to us with this episode and now we get to stew. Brilliant, truly.

Don't forget that Gus asked Walt the same question after Tomas was killed.

Honestly it seems pretty obvious to me that it was, indeed, Gus who lifted the ricin cigarette from Jesse at the lab if anything. Jesse says he put it in a new pack the morning the episode takes place, Walter has been at home awaiting imminent doom all day.

This ties in with how Gus knew that the car was not safe. Had his plan worked, Jesse would have told him that he killed Walter for poisoning Brock. Instead, Jesse said the Doctors said it was poison and yet nothing about Walter. This led Gus to suspect that the two had formed an alliance. This suspicion is warranted by how loyal Jesse has been to Walter despite Gus trying to turn Jesse against Walter.

Hence Gus figures out that Jesse's unwillingness to work was a ploy to get him to the Hospital, where Walter knew he would be. Since Gus now knows about the ricin, he knows Jesse has been trying to kill him with Walt's help.

All in all, this is to support the argument that Walter would never poison a child even for the sake of his own family, who is under DEA protection and is overall safe.
