The assistant manager definitely seemed like the coolaid lifer type so if he hasn't said anything yet I doubt he'll say anything in the future (aside from the obvious "that subplot is done" part)

Gus is most definitely a great boss at the chicken shop, the likes of which these folks may very well never see again.

INH5 posted:Yeah, the whole Ricin plot was a big stumbling block for me back when BB first aired. Even if we assume that Walt found out who Brock and Adrea were and where they lived through Facebook or a PI or something, I just can't see any way for Walt to get a kid he doesn't know to eat something without anyone else noticing, or at the very least Brock saying something to Andrea about it. That is exactly what happened. Walt knew Saul was in contact with Andrea making money drops for Jesse, so he gave Saul a Lilly of the Valley-laced sucker to give to Brock. He told Saul it would just make him 'a little sick' and Saul was pissed that instead it put him in the ICU. edit: Remember when that one BB thread poster was so sure it WASN'T Lilly of the Valley that he toxxed himself to never post in a BB thread again if it turned out to be the case? Never saw that dude again. Good times... Takes No Damage fucked around with this message at 20:17 on May 26, 2017 |

I still think that was a ridiculous leap, but I've made peace with it. (My argument was that there was zero way that Walt could have done the poisoning, save for having Saul do it, and Saul wouldn't do that, which I actually believe even more during the run of this show)

Yeah, I refuse to believe Saul directly helped poison Brock. Someone mentioned earlier that Francesca was shredding school schedules, but I specifically remember the podcast debunking that, saying it was just prop paper that they had lying around and it wasn't meant to be seen.

Chuck would be proud  And in your defense that was one of the first times in the entire series that the show hid something like that from the viewers. Can't think of another time when a character knows something that the audience doesn't and uses it to trick us.Last Chance posted:Yeah, I refuse to believe Saul directly helped poison Brock.

Walt undersold how sick Brock would get but Saul put the candy in his hand when he was at the house for a money drop. They set it up before by showing him at an earlier drop and giving an actual piece of candy to Brock. Saul only discusses his role in Brock being poisoned once with the following dialog from s5, ep 11 "Confessions" when Jesse breaks into his office: "I had Huell lift your cigarette, but Walt made me. He told me he was helping you, he was saving you. I never would've agreed to it if I'd known what he was gonna do. Jesse, you gotta believe me. I didn't want any of this!" You could also argue that Saul giving him a piece of candy just sets up the idea of him being poisoned in general, not that Saul specifically did it. edit: Also, pretty sure Saul was not doing money drops when Walt comes up with the Lily of the Valley idea. Saul was laying low and we never see a money drop during the two episodes where Walt and Gus are "facing off" Last Chance fucked around with this message at 00:08 on May 27, 2017 |

I was rewatching the Better Call Saul episode of Breaking Bad. Jesse and Walt flip a coin to see who will go in and talk to Saul in person to try to get badger out of jail (with Walt losing the flip), and I just remembered that really early in S1 they flip a coin to see who will kill Krazy-8 and who will dispose of the body. They really got past that trauma nicely. Now I gotta look out for coin flips in BCS and try to remember other times they came up in BB, I feel like they couldn't have just stopped at two.

I didn't know the shredding school schedules were BS until now. I'd always assumed based on that that Saul gave Walt some information about what time Brock would be going between classes, going to recess, or going to lunch. Then Walt concocted some story so he could be along with Brock and give him some poison-mixed food. Perhaps Walt had Huell and Kuby distract the teachers or something. This is a blank that I've thought for a long time that Better Call Saul could fill and it would be good to see since it's a pivotal moment for Saul. It's a moment where Saul finally wants out and isn't allowed by Walt to get out. They'd have to find a actor that looks like Brock.

It's still hot compared to northern climes but it tends to top out around 90 or 95 in the summer, it's no Vegas. It's still hot enough that it's weird how everyone in the BB universe is always wearing jackets.
