here's the writer from the episode (again, vulture) talking directly about the origin and mechanics about the revelation

Posted by: Moviesnob on Aug 26, 21:28 in response to eyescovered's post Um, not just a recap. Pretty much an entire article on...

http://www.vulture.com/2013/08/breaking-bad-gennifer-hutchinson-confessions.html

my emphasize in the underline (going back to the idea that its been built on whats been established before)

How did you work that the mechanics of Jesse’s realization?
Actually, it was torture. We toyed with a lot of ideas, like Saul telling him, or just someone actually telling him about it. But we liked the idea of him figuring it out on his own because he was right from the beginning when he thought Walt poisoned Brock. But then Walt so expertly manipulated him, planting the cigarette in Jesse’s house so it would get sucked up into the vacuum and Jesse would think he’d been the one who lost it. We liked the idea of him figuring it out from being pick-pocketed because, again, that’s what he thought had happened originally. Huell had pick-pocketed the cigarette pack from him originally. So once we decided what the trigger would be, we had to figure out what Huell would lift this time, the reason for doing it, and ultimately why Saul would take the risk of having him lift the dope. It was a long conversation working it all out.

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