I was still a little unclear on the poisoning of Brock, how and when Walt pulled it off (I know he used the flower) and how Jessie put it all together. Also, when and how did Walt get the ricen into Lydia's sugar packet? If I remember right, there was more than one packet in the tray and it appeared to be sealed. How'd he know she'd pick that exact one?

She had a specific brand she preferred, so he made sure the poison was the only pack of it at that table.

Maybe I need to look at it again but I seem to recall there being several packets of it. Even still, and assuming you're correct and if I'm remembering right, Todd and Lydia sat at a different table than they normally did. I remember that specifically because Lydia always sat by the window and wanted to talk back to back but this was clearly a 4 top.

I guess I can buy that Walt ricened up a packet, glued it back together and had it on him, so OK, but that was not Lydia's usual table. He couldn't have slid a premade pack of it into the tray because she'd already ordered her tea and was talking with Todd before Walt sat down. How'd he know she'd sit there? Maybe I need to rewatch the scene again and see if it's explained.

Yeah, the execution's really contrived in the show and it wouldn't surprise me if they flubbed details that would have fit the scheme. Haven't rewatched the episode to check, but I think the idea was that he planted at her usual table in advance? That whole ploy was about using her obsessively meticulous nature against her. He knew her usual brand for her usual drink at her usual table at the usual crime-meeting-cafe, and finally has a way to get rid of this poison the writers couldn't find a use for after 5 years.
