Walt poisoned Brock with a lily of the valley plant.
The Culprit and the Motive
Walter White, often referred to as Walt, was responsible for poisoning Brock Cantillo with a lily of the valley plant. This act was a calculated move orchestrated by Walt to manipulate Jesse Pinkman.
Why Walt Poisoned Brock:
- Strategic Manipulation: Walt admitted to Jesse that his primary reason for poisoning Brock was to keep Jesse on his side.
- Eliminating Gus Fring: The poisoning was a crucial part of Walt's elaborate plan to turn Jesse against Gus Fring, thereby securing Jesse's cooperation in their joint effort to orchestrate Gus Fring's death.
By using the lily of the valley, a common houseplant with toxic properties, Walt was able to create the illusion that Gus Fring was responsible for Brock's illness, thus driving a wedge between Jesse and Gus. This deception was critical in the events that unfolded, ultimately leading to Gus Fring's demise. Despite the success of his plan, the relationship between Walt and Jesse was irrevocably damaged by this manipulative act.
