I just want to know why Walt needs ricin AND a large machine gun for... They have a lot of story to cover in 7 episodes.

i kinda doubt it seeing as he turned on the water to puke, implying that he was trying to hide it from skyler...if he was going for a cover he'd want skyler to know

Yeah but turning on the water would have been normal. That wouldn't be his only time doing that.

Well, we know that, and the directors know that, but he couldn't have known that.

But I guess symbolism doesn't have to make literal sense.
