The challenge of a ruthless and increasingly evil protagonist, of course, is to keep us watching even as we distance ourselves from him, morally and emotionally. And so the writers? room is softening Jesse as it hardens Walt. The duo?s search for the ricin cigarette is Exhibit A. Walt is playing Jesse: We see him make a fake cigarette out of salt. He plants it so Jesse can find it and reassure himself that he didn?t accidentally poison Brock. Guilt assuaged?plus big bonus, Jesse weeps, actually weeps, in ruing his initial suspicion of Walt: ?I almost shot you,? he moans, and ?How could I have been so stupid??
