Maybe Walt uses the ricin as a backup plan in case he gets captured or taken by the DEA or Nazi's.
I can't believe people are actually calling yesterday's episode a filler. Just because the episode didn't feature a brutal shootout does not mean it was filler. Heck a single mother was brutally assassinated, what more do you want? We knew that they were building up to explaining the flash forward scenes, and it's to be expected that he used Saul's witness relocation guy. People want everything explained for them, and yet they complain when something like this is.
Like Jbo I thought the episode was near perfect. Walt Jr. turning his back on his Dad was heartbreaking (the last person who he believed was on his "side"). Same goes with Andrea being assassinated due to Jesse's actions. Then we have Todd and gang hold Skyler hostage, who knew how that was going to turn out. We also see how Walt's "confession" didn't exactly "save" Skyler, a case that did need explaining. Really though this episode is all about Walt in which they needed to fill in what happened between much of this season and the flash forward, and they did that.
I honestly think some people are hoping for these episodes to disappoint just so they can pull the old "I told you so" garbage next week.
