from the Episode End Times..(spoilers)

Posted by: lobogotti on Aug 26, 07:20 in response to islander's post i thought it was a stretch...(sp)

Jesse later receives a call from Andrea (Emily Rios) that her son, Brock, has become seriously ill and is in the hospital. Jesse discovers that the ricin cigarette that he kept on him to poison Gus is missing, from which he concludes that Brock somehow ingested the ricin.

Jesse confronts a paranoid Walter at his 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; he later tracked down Brock and poisoned him. Walter and Jesse know Gus is not above killing children after the death of Andrea's younger brother, Tomas, and Jesse ultimately decides that Walter is innocent. The two team up to kill Gus.

Jesse visits the hospital every day, but Andrea refuses to let him see Brock after he divulged knowledge about the ricin poisoning. He refuses to leave the hospital which ruins the latest meth cook, saying that he will only leave if Gus orders him to in person, which is part of the plan to kill Gus: when Gus arrives to the hospital, Walter plants a homemade car bomb under Gus' car and waits from a nearby rooftop to detonate it. As Gus and his bodyguards return to the car, Gus senses something is amiss and leaves the area, leaving Walter distraught at missing his chance.

OK, am I missing something with newest Breaking Bad? eyescovered Aug 25, 19:08

from the Episode End Times..(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:20

as you can see from the episode guide... (spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:32

I don't think it was a stretch at all, rather very good writing for an excellent show. it's being received well by critics and fans alike. lobogotti Aug 26, 07:34

yes great ep, but still doesnt quite work... islander Aug 26, 07:50

Yep, that was my thinking. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 09:02

think about what happens in the episode Moviesnob Aug 26, 07:48

oh posted before seeing this. i guess {nm} islander Aug 26, 07:52

exactly. further points I meant to add, but got a bit busy....(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 08:01

MY concern about this is as above... numbersix_99 Aug 26, 15:34

Well said. eyescovered Aug 26, 16:01

Well, I would RESPECTFULLY disagree. I only see one of those events as manufactured, the others are logical outcomes set up over time. Moviesnob Aug 26, 16:29

Vulture breaks it down pretty good here... eyescovered Aug 26, 16:51

its a recap. It doesn't critique last night's episode other than saying Moviesnob Aug 26, 17:39

Um, not just a recap. Pretty much an entire article on what we're talking about. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 18:46

sorry, didn't mean any offense. I don't see where your concerns were addressed {nm} Moviesnob Aug 26, 20:02

here's the writer from the episode (again, vulture) talking directly about the origin and mechanics about the revelation Moviesnob Aug 26, 21:28

No prob man! Maybe you could change your handle to TVsnob ; ) {nm} eyescovered Aug 27, 03:36

perfectly reasonable explanation. and trust me, I'm not a blind advocate for the show...(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 27, 11:27

As entertainment, it's damn good, though for me it used to be better because of these lack of contrivances... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 01:01

wow, that is some really deep thinking. I'm surprised Walt's ability to turn on the tears turns you off so much. lobogotti Aug 27, 11:24

I think.... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 14:00

ha! The debate that will go on for years to come, The Wire or Breaking Bad. At this point I feel BB has a slight lead, and the can retain lobogotti Aug 27, 17:39
