There's no way Walt poisoned the kid. We've seen him do a lot of questionable and downright bad things, but murdering an innocent child is NOT in his nature. What would Walter stand to gain from doing that? Making Jesse want to kill him so that he can flip it around and put the blame on Gus? Walt is smart, but he's not that conniving and manipulative - he's just smart enough to figure out why Gus would do it. And Walter has never hurt anyone who didn't have it coming (Jane is arguable, but he didn't actually kill her... just watched her die), and Walt would NEVER hurt a small child. There's also the fact that he was never close enough to steal the cigarette. He saw Jesse once on the night he went to see him, and at no point did he have any kind of opportunity to take the cigarette, let alone poison the kid. He went straight from Jesse's house to the desert to Saul's and then home, and the episode picked right up from the part where he was laughing in the crawl space. Not enough time, while Gus and his goon had plenty of time, and a hell of a lot more manpower.
One episode left. I can't wait to see where this thing goes.
