I have a couple of questions about Breaking Bad.
First after Walter returned to the remains of his former home and removed the Risin(?) from the electrical outlet.
I must have missed an episode when he planted there and for what reason.
Second the Ricin cigarette when Jesse went nuts after he discovered it was missing from his getting out of dodge attempt.
Who made it and what was it made for...suicide if caught?
Anyone?
Foreshadowing. Watch the final final episode for the answer....
He hid the Ricin cigs a while back. I forget who made them. I think maybe Walt did and was going to use them on the guy that gave him the Walt Whitman book but Jesse killed him before he had a chance.
I didn’t see last nights episode, but last week it seemed to me that Jesse realized Walt or the lawyer had tried to kill him by giving him the poison cigarette, although I didn’t catch how he knew that.
Also, who is the young kid who died from poisoning and who killed him and why?
Walt made the Ricin to kill Gus, but the plan fell through, Jesse messed up again!
Jesse’s new drug addict girlfriend’s kid.

I’m a bit confused too - will look over that link ;)
Walt’s tragic flaw is that, for some reason, he lets Jesse live. Skylar knows the score and what needs to be done. She has a real dark side and is a better criminal than Walt.
Walt made the cigarette for Jesse to give to Gus (the original distributor of their ice and cartel lackey), as Gus was always trying to find ways to kill them. It didn’t work because Jesse couldn’t find the moment. Finally, Walt had to actually poison Jesse’s girlfriend’s son with the ricin, in order to bring Jesse into the hospital, where he would be safe from Gus, as Gus was trying to actively kill him. As well, that way, Walt could kill Gus, as he did when he literally bombed the nursing home room where Gus was visiting the old cartel stroke victim guy there.
I recently changed to Roku and had a Breaking Bad marathon to see what the hoopla was about. I quickly got “hooked” and have watched all episodes available. Walt’s character is jumping the shark to me. I may yet kick the habit.
Okay, I thought it might've been Gus.
What makes Walt interesting is the intersection of his humanity and the criminal monstrosity in his soul. It can and will only end both poorly and well for him....
Walt didn’t poison him with the ricin. He poisoned him with the Lily of The Valley, which was in his backyard in a pot. Thats why he ditched it will all of the rest of the bomb evidence. He had Saul’s henchman lift the ricin cigarette off of Jesse so that he could turn Jesse against Gus.
Walt made the ricin powder for Jesse to kill Gus but Jesse could not do it.
Sauls bouncer dude pick pocketed it out of Jesses cig pack when he was in Sauls office. It was later given to Walt.
Walt off camera apparently made up some concoction from a Lily Of The Valley plant and off camera poisoned Jesse girlfriends little boy in order to convince Jessee that Gus deserves killing.
Walt then put the ricin in the electrical outlet cover plate in their bedroom, obviously for future retrieval.
The kid survives and Walt thinks all is cool, and it is until Jessee figures it out after the bouncer dude rips off his dope from his pocket in Sauls office.
But didn’t one of the investigators tell Jesse it wasn’t Ricin?
He did not not poison Brock (the boy) with Risin. He used a plant with red berries from his back yard. He did it to make Jessie feel guilty and to draw him closer again. (They allude to this when Walt has dinner at the boys home and sits next to him. The boy gives Walt a shy/scared look.)
Walt had Hughel(sp?)lift the deadly cig from Jessie’s pack and replace the pack. Walt then put the risin capsule behind the plug cover for future use.
On orders from the lawyer, later Hughel lifted the MJ from Jessie. When Jessie goes to light one up and sees the joint is gone, but the pack is still in his pocket, he figured out how he “lost” the Risin and went ballistic.
I am going to have to watch it all again to catch up. I know I missed something.
Walt's descent into evil is the center of that story. He isn't "jumping the shark", he is getting frantic because the walls are closing in --- he's been found out and retribution is on the way. I don't believe, at this point, that Walt is mentally stable, and I fear he will do anything to get away with it. Last night, Jesse lamented that Walt, "always gets away with it -- he can't always get away with it."
Now that Jesse is on team Hank, I think things are going to get very interesting.
I’m still trying to figure out how Jerry’s dentist could go so wrong. Was it the conversion to Judaism?
