Eating Red Lobster should prepare me well for eating opossum and stuff like that.

I've never had opossum but I have had squirrel. Tough chicken, that's what squirrel is. Delicious with extra gnawing. I could eat squirrel several times a week. When they cleaned the opossum they said it stunk pretty bad. The weird thing about it was it was getting into the guys chicken house and just taking the heads off. The entire body of the bird was left in tact. It was quite a mystery.

Hank would have a lot of resources at his disposal to disprove that story. Timelines, phone records, firsthand accounts of Walt/Heisenberg. The evidence against Walt might be circumstantial or hearsay, but there'd be nothing tangible against Hank. I must be missing what's so damning about the hospital bills, especially considering that Hank wouldn't need Walt to pay for anything in the scenario laid out. I suppose Walt could know that he's just throwing up a temporary roadblock.

I continue to get tripped up on the ricin storyline. I get it, but then I think of something else that happened with it and I reconsider. If I had seen those episodes more recently it might have been clearer at first.

Hospital bills: Where did the money come from? Hank doesn't make that kind of money.

And I'm confused to on the ricin thing. Why was Jesse so pissed again?
[SHOW]
Walt claimed that Hank ran the empire with Fring. Hank wouldn't need money in that situation. Officially he could claim that his and/or Marie's insurance covered it. They had money in savings, whatever.

Walt intended to frame Gus Fring for poisoning Brock. Walt actually poisoned the kid ahead of time with lily of the valley. But he plans to plant the suspicion that Fring took the ricin, suggesting that he knew about it by watching video or bugging the two of them in the lab. In order to make this credible, he has Saul arrange to have the ricin cigarette lifted from Jesse. Saul's bodyguard does this by swapping out the cigarette pack in Jesse's pocket for an identical one. Jesse begins to suspect Brock was poisoned with the ricin - dont remember why. He correctly guesses what Walt and confronts him. Walt then says it must have been Gus, because he's a killer and his people have killed kids before. When Jesse finds out it was lily of the valley, he and Walt (I think) agree that he must have lost it.

A later episode shows Jesse desperately trying to find the ricin cigarette in his house, and Walt shows up and they "find" it in Jesse's Roomba.

In this episode when Jesse realizes his weed was lifted back at Saul's and he also sees his pack of cigarettes he recalls his earlier suspicion.

I think I have that right. Had to go read up on some of the old episodes to remember all of it

That is 98% true. It's the other 2% that allows the overall plot to advance.

So I played poker with this guy from Burn Notice last night. He's kind of a coked up douche bag.

I agree about the ricin thing. I is confused.

Regarding the confession.....Walt has all the leverage. His money is safe and therefore his family is in good hands. Hell, the carwash alone could probably keep them going. And, Walt could just disappear/die/whatever. If Hank is even suspected of being guilty, he loses everything. Well, he loses his job...which for him is everything. He is afraid of even telling co-workers at the DEA what he suspects because that alone could get him fired unless he has proof. What is Hank without his job? I mean, assuming he disproved everything to the point of avoiding jailtime, he still loses his job.....and then what. Go flip burgers?
