Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

But Jessy wasn't sure. He was still figuring out. But ultimately we know it wasn't ricin after all. All part of Walt's master plan to get Jessy on his side to kill Gus.

This whole plot twist is just amazing. Even if you suspect Walt is lying here, they completely flip the script on you by revealing it wasn’t the ricin after all. Then your suspicions are completely gone, RIGHT before they drop the reveal on you. Incredible writing

[@InfamousRevolver]

It is superb the way they make you go from disliking the actions Walt does (especially Jane’s death), however most of us continue to have a sense of care for Walt in some way, but it is being destroyed in Season 3 progressively. And then the final straw happens in Season 4 with the Lilly of the Valley.

Yeah, I agree. I stopped rooting for Walt after he didn’t care about Drew Sharp.

[@DoomOfTheNoldor]

He also praised Jesse’s ability to run a lab and said it was equal to his, something he only did when he was trying to manipulate

[@JKBDTS]

Also Saul insulted Huell after he stole the ricin. Of course Saul wouldn't do it normally, Huell would get unhappy.

[@ekathe85]

He did tell Gus he appreciated his strategy when he rerouted the Cousins towards Hank. Maybe he was just buttering Gus' toast because he had a deadline on his contract back then, but then again, he had arguments to try and present himself as indispensable to Gus

[@jxsh03]

@@ekathe85 He was also somewhat scared of Gus then too (even before the incident with Jesse and the dealers and the box cutter) because his eyes had just been opened to the scale of what was happening around him: finding out the cousins/cartel had been after him; finding out how powerful, intelligent and merciless Gus could be; realizing the level of the operation he had gotten himself involved with.

This was where Walt reached Richard III level of evil scheming.

[@josephnelson8522]

What's brilliant to me about this scene is that Walt wins either way. If Jesse would have pulled the trigger, Walt would have died, Brock would have recovered, and Jesse would have spent the rest of his life haunted that he killed "an innocent man". Walt would have been remembered as an innocent victim to both Jesse and his family. For Jesse, he would constantly remember Walt as someone who died because of his "stupidity". For his family, Walt would have died an innocent victim of the crossfire between the cartel hunt and Hank, killed by Jesse Pinkman in revenge for what Hank did to him (if they ever found out it was Jesse). So, yeah, Walt wins either way. I honestly kind of think Walt was hoping Jesse would pull the trigger.
