Walt's "confession" was jaw-droppingly amazing (and, man, gotta love the Internet for immediately bringing us the Hank & Marie watch Miley video), but I thought Jesse finally putting the pieces together felt a little convenient. I do agree, though, as people have said above, that Jesse kind of always knew and it wasn't til this episode that he was ready to face the truth. <br /><br /><br />Also, I just want to crow about the fact that I binge-watched my way to "all caught up" and feel very proud of myself. :) This show is awesome.bellawilfernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-40363552924773568392013-08-27T13:53:36.767-04:002013-08-27T13:53:36.767-04:00Didn't he downright accuse Walt of stealing th...Didn't he downright accuse Walt of stealing the cigarette somehow? And it wasn't until he found the "lost" cigarette that he actually believed Walt to be innocent? (I haven't seen the episodes in awhile, so I might be mis-remembering.)<br /><br />I imagine that Jesse has always had in swirling in his head that Mr. White was guilty, and as soon as he saw the missing piece (how Walt could get his hands on the cigarette), it clicked into place.Sophietjenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-60417527063305763632013-08-27T12:31:30.395-04:002013-08-27T12:31:30.395-04:00And because somewhere inside, Jessie always knew W...And because somewhere inside, Jessie always knew Walt poisoned BrockNigel from Cameroonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-6680700048298000332013-08-27T12:01:28.468-04:002013-08-27T12:01:28.468-04:00We know he doesn't burn down the house, right?...We know he doesn't burn down the house, right?

My problem with it isn't the logistics of Brock's poisoning in the first place, or even how Jesse put the pieces together. It's that there was no surprise AT ALL to how Jesse reacted. Of COURSE this is exactly what he would do if/when he found out that Walt poisoned Brock. I realize the show needed to come up with a way to finally, fully sever the Walt/Jesse bond (and maybe push Jesse into working with Hank? We'll see...), AND Breaking Bad has always been about how your actions will come back and haunt you. (If this had been The Sopranos, we'd likely have never heard of the poisoning again.)<br /><br />Don't get me wrong - I'm still COMPLETELY on board for the show's final episodes, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I just wish they had come up with a more interesting way for Jesse to react to the discovery about Brock.Randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-4342352657655027582013-08-26T18:13:06.931-04:002013-08-26T18:13:06.931-04:00And following up on Tosy and Cosh's comment, i...And following up on Tosy and Cosh's comment, if you go back and watch the scene where Huell frisked Jesse at the end of season four, you see that Huell takes something out of Jesse's pocket and puts it into his own.

Why did he still have that pack -- if it's the same pack -- months later.
