I don't doubt he could come up with the plan. I'm saying I don't think he could pull it off. He's a smart guy, but like I said, how does he manage to physically get the ricin vial out of Jesse's cigarette pack? He could use other ricin, obviously, but they made a point about the vial being gone. And then if he does somehow get the vial, how does he manage to get to the poison into the kid, without poisoning anybody else? And probably most importantly - I didn't catch this myself until earlier tonight - how does he time it so that the kid's getting sick when he did. Wouldn't he have had to poison him at least a day before Gus takes him into the desert? They've talked over and over for years about how ricin takes days (although maybe it's different for kids).

How do you explain the gun spinning scene and disappearance throughout most of the episode? Seemed significant.
My main thought during the gun spinning was "wow that was cool. wonder how many takes it took?" I'm not sure what the symbolism is supposed to be there (that's what we'll learn next week). My initial interpretation is that he thought he was doomed, and was looking for a sign. Which was finally, on the third spin, the gun not ending up aimed at him. But who knows.

I was thinking more along the lines of he found the vial in the cigarette and got potentially fatally curious, not that he smoked the cigarette and got ricin poisoning that way.
