Jesse put it together when he realized that Huell had swiped his pot, and most likely also swiped the ricin cigarette as ordered by Walt.

I really dig that show, and I think season 2 is even better than the first, I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts on it as you go through it.

I like the show as well but I actually thought the opposite: season 1 had a great arc and seemed to intentionally be "Breaking Bad lite" tone-wise. Then season 2 immediately takes 2 steps back from what the season 1 cliffhanger finale set up and the pace is frustratingly slow. They also seemed to shift the tone completely away from Breaking Bad as well. It's nice to have its own identity but Breaking Bad lite is what people wanted as well as Saul antics and season 2 is very skimpy on that.

It's still a great show though and has the same great directing and cinematography as Breaking Bad. Maybe watching the season straight through will make the pace seem less glacial.

I didn't want BB lite but DID want the connections to be used for the crossover/spin off and use some of the same characters. So far, that's working well but I'm only like 4 episodes in. I wanted to see "side stories" that were never fully developed in BB because they weren't central to that show's plot, along with some new characters, which seems like what we're getting with it.

By Breaking Bad lite I meant "lighter, more comical tone but same "high stakes" feel."

The show provides a lot of backstory on Mike and season 2's progression seems to indicate that it will do just what you said with Gus
