Well, now we know who the ricin is for.
If Shouter wrote for the show, you'd be right on the money.

Silly thing to get so amped over, probably, but I loved the theme coming in at the end of the episode.
I thought that was great, too.
Nice job at the end, bringing in the whole Grey Matter thing in AND the whole "hey, blue meth is still around," so Walt's hubris overrules his better judgement yet again.
or something. I've watched waaaaaay too much TV today, and it has killed many of my brain cells.
thankfully I won't need them to watch the series finale of Dexter.
sorry gaf. i know how much she meant to you
Didn't Lydia take something with her tea? It wouldn't be too hard to slip in the contents of a certain cigarette in there
Good catch. She said "I'll need more Stevia."
Yeah, I rather like the Stevia/ricin idea.
So I guess that was Saul's sendoff? It was effective as an inversion of Walt's glowering "We're not done" from the front half of the season. Robert Forster was pretty awesome casting.
Todd was fucking terrifying this week.
That scene with Skylar was chilling.
Agreed with those comments. Todd is the absolute anti-Jesse: Jesse is the fuck-up, loser kid with a good heart and a conscious that can't live with the horrible things he's done. Todd is the clean-cut, polite kid, with no heart, totally devoid of emotions and conscious.
And yes, I think all hell will break loose in the finale. I think it will be sad. I think it will be, in some way, poetic. Because 97 percent of the time Breaking Bad is poetic. But I can’t quite let go of “Granite State” just yet. Part of me thinks that the finale, as Walt’s Last Stand, will be in some ways catering to the fans of the show and giving them some kind of epic blowout ending.
What I loved most about “Granite State,” in contrast, is that it was not epic. It was not a finale we’ll talk about forever. It was a penultimate episode that spoke volumes about bad decisions and failed dreams and having everything you ever tried to do turn to shit. Good people making bad decisions ultimately ends with bad people making bad decisions because that’s all they can do. Those are the only options they have left.
My guess is that Jesse kills himself before Walt sees him again.
