Not to get into this again, but a great deal of the "Roomba" (or whatever it's called) bit was on Jesse's behalf.It was Jesse that was worried that he'd lost it and would feel responsible if someone picked it up and smoked it.I'm not even really sure the whole charade did any good for Walt. I don't think it makes it any less likely that Jesse would figure it out. "Lost for good" vs. "sucked up by the Roomba" really makes no difference. The charade exposed him a bit.Actually, when Jesse first started crying, I was positive he'd figured out the truth. I still feel like he did and just didn't say it. Walt suggests looking in a place Jesse had already looked and it suddenly shows up? It could happen, but I could where that smells a little fishy to Jesse.

I thought they were nuggets at first. I'll have go back and check the game tape.And nuggets with ketchup is a perfectly fine combo, preferably with some hot sauce mixed in.Thirded. And btw, my wife eats chicken tenders (pretty much the same as nuggets) with Ketchup.Yes - definitely tots. The disc shaped kind, not your traditional barrel shape.In the beginning chicken. With a closer look tots.Totally out-of-left-field question: did you guys get the impression that Schuler was eating chicken nuggets or tater tots in the beginning? There seems to be some dissension about it on another board.
Here are the sauces he dipped:
Honey mustard
half French dressing/half Ranch dressing
Cajun kick-ass
Smoky Mesquite BBQ
Ketchup
Now, if they had left ketchup off the plate, chicken nuggets would be the easy answer. But who dips chicken nuggets in ketchup. :X OTOH, ketchup is GREAT for tater tots, but not so much with those other dips.
Verdict?

Thought the Roomba was the perfect cover story.Jesse hadn't checked it for a week, it probably runs 24/7 , covers lots of nooks and crannies, and Jesse's place is an absolute mess.

Chicken + ketchup is kooky talk!

Yep....so I wonder what happened in Philly

No idea, but we do know what happened in Detroit.

He buried it in the roomba, too. No way Jesse is the least bit suspicious. Hank, otoh, just wised up and we are off and running. That one look was all they gave us but it was unmistakable and just a moment's thought will reveal how many coincidences there have been with Walt.

What? It took him "a couple of viewings" to figure that out? Was he folding laundry and not watching the TV or something???

Guys I forgot some of the stuff from last season. Help me out here, Jessie thought that he left the cigarette with the Ricin in the hands of the kid who smoked it and got sick. In reality the kid got sick from those plants right? Does Jessie know that it was the plants and not the Ricin? Refresh me a bit

No kidding.It was pretty straight-forward.

Never have a woman over when Breaking Bad is on. Major got theface for giving said woman the Heisman during the opening scene. Guppy move on my part but I still put that a to sleep.

I thought they made it quite obvious with the Geto Boys reference
thinking a Gus flashback was going to happen when dude was 
in the boardroomApple Jack

The what? I think she's local.

Some of us really aren't up on our Geto Boys. I still don't know what H-town refers to.

Walt poisoned the kid with the plant. Jesse thinks it was a random accident. He also thinks he lost the cigarette but doesn't know how or where and was freaking out because he was worries an innocent person could find it and get exposed to the ricin.

I first thought she was Gus's accountant/bookkeeper, now I am not sure

Could only be Houston, I assume. What other h is there?

She works for Madrigal. She was in the DEA office with the Germans.

No nibbles on this one, huh?

Definitely Houston. Google is your friend for my uniformed music friends. Even Sepinwall agrees.
H-town typically refers to Hartford, Connecticut, but that's not where she's from.She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, grew up in Henderson, Nevada, attended college in Huntsville, Alabama, then lived in Huntington Beach, California for a while. Her current residence is unknown.

Jesse knew it was Lily of the Valley plant berries that poisoned the kid, not the ricin beans (
@ that line). The doctor explained that Lily of the Valley poisonings are somewhat common with kids because the plant grows in the area and kids come across it sometimes and try the berries not knowing better. Jesse probably thinks that's what happened at this point.

I was thinking California from the get-go, based on the Paris Hilton looking shades and what she was ordering at the diner...chamomile tea, something inaudible to me that sounded very artisan, soy milk instead of dairy, stevia (and the fact that she carried her own)...It all came across as So Cal rich-trendy-snobbish...Could H town = Hollywood?eta: I dont know what the Geto Boys reference was, or if/how "H-town" even ties into the episode, Im only making this assumption based on someone in this thread mentioning H-Town....that said, when she started ordering at the diner I instantly thought she was from (or living in) Southern California, but I was actually thinking more Beverly Hills or Malibu or somewhere like that...seems cafes out there would have all that crap she was ordering...but her house seemed to have a NM feel and look to it.

I agree. He's riveting and just crushes it every episode...By far my favorite character in the show.

And I think that's the give away that it's chicken. You can't take tot after tot like that without something to drink... especially without a condiment of somekind. And those are pretty exotic dipping sauces for just a tot. Cajun kick-###?I noticed that after tasting each of the sauces he continued eating the chicken, but without any sauce.Totally out-of-left-field question: did you guys get the impression that Schuler was eating chicken nuggets or tater tots in the beginning? There seems to be some dissension about it on another board.

Cho is a chemical supplier. Last season some cartel goons held him hostage, and kept Gus from receiving his shipments. That's when Mike showed up and killed the goons, then shot Cho in the hand.

Yup. You could just see it. Here the whole time I'm thinking either the gray haired guy or the partner are in on it. Watching for that, and suddenly the stillness of Hank's expression after he takes another drink say's it all.'Apple Jack said:
I don't think we can assume Hank suspects Walt based on one facial expression. If and when Hank ever suspects Walt, it shouldn't take him too long to confirm it.

The driver for Gus.For those who watch it live there is a great site from AMC called something like breakingbadinsync.com that gives you little facts, reminders, polls, videos, and quiz questions the entire hour, pretty cool.

I agree. It seems like a set up moment that leads to him finding out. Maybe he asks Jr some leading questions but gets no where. It still nags at him so he talks to Syler. That would be a great scene.How is Mike going to work, he is going to have intense police scutiny.
I think, at first, he'll try to rule it out. When he can't rule it out, he'll start to take that "crazy" thought seriously.
