The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
Having walked the thin line between bitter and sweet in 2013, El Camino lightened the mood. Aaron Paul's Jesse Pinkman embarks upon one last audacious gambit to escape New Mexico and start a new life in Alaska. Against all odds, he succeeds.
Jesse Pinkman
After "dueling" with a criminal named Neil over a share of Todd's money, Jesse was able to pay for the service and begins a new life in Alaska. He left a letter for his former girlfriend's son, Brock, one of Breaking Bad's most victimized characters, but otherwise didn't say goodbye to anyone.
There's no word on what happened to the White family after Walt's death, but El Camino confirmed that Jesse Pinkman survived the compound siege and that he made it to Alaska a free man, ready to start over. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is now streaming on Netflix.
Before Jesse leaves, Walt answers a call from Lydia on Todd's phone and tells her she will soon be dead because he poisoned her with ricin. Walt gives Jesse a final nod before he drives off in Todd's El Camino, laughing and crying with relief.
No. From the moment Walt had him dragged out from under that car in the desert, Jesse never forgave his former partner. From that moment on, Jesse felt nothing but hatred and resentment towards him.

That realization hit home during the phone call at the end of the previous episode, "Granite State." Walter Jr. will not try to understand his father; Walter Jr. will not knowingly accept his money; Walter Jr. will never forgive him. His father was his greatest hero, but became his ultimate villain.
It's ironic that Jesse and Walter Jr., Walt's biological son, never cross paths in the show. This actually invokes a sense of sadness in realizing that Walt seems to outwardly show more love and affection for Jesse than he does his own son. He demonstrates this after being blackmailed by Jesse's girlfriend, Jane.
Many thoughts of grief may have flooded Walt's mind after Hank was killed in Breaking Bad, but the reason why Walt tells Jesse the truth about Jane's death is indicative of his true nature. Walt's evolution to becoming Heisenberg was created out of a series of events of desperation and tragedy.
Jessie J reveals that she's pregnant again, following 2021 miscarriage: 'Please be gentle with me' Singer Jessie J is pregnant. "I am so happy and terrified to finally share this," the singer wrote Friday on social media.
It is revealed that Skyler is eventually forced to move into an apartment and takes a job as a taxi dispatcher, having all their assets seized. She still maintains custody of the children, however ("Granite State").
While Jesse Pinkman eventually relapses on drugs following the murder of Tomas Cantillo, he never does heroin again, having permanently gotten clean of it after being sent to rehab by Walter White.
No. From the moment Walt had him dragged out from under that car in the desert, Jesse never forgave his former partner. From that moment on, Jesse felt nothing but hatred and resentment towards him. Did Walt ever turn Jesse over to the police?
Jesse's been used to taking orders from his former teacher, so when Walt finally gave Jesse the option to kill him and he refuses, the choice is his. Not Walt's. That's what allows him to walk out of there a free man.
In the season 5 episode Confessions Jesse realises that Saul and Huell took his ricin cigerette on the orders of Walt (Jesse finds this out by threatening them with a gun) which causes him to also realise that Walter was behind the whole false story of Gus poisoning Brock when it had been him all along.
Jesse did not even rat on Walt when he got pinched for the money. If Saul would not have taken Jesse's weed then he would have never put it together that Walt and Saul had taken the ricin from him in the first place, so he would have never learned that Walt poisoned Brock, and not wanted to burn Walts house down.
When Walt called Jesse “son” in the season premiere, my blood ran cold. Walt may have a biological son, but Jesse still is the son Walt never had. Jesse knows Walt so much better than Jr.
The sides of his personality — sociopath and family man, scientist and killer, rational being and creature of impulse, entrepreneur and loser — are not necessarily as contradictory as we might have supposed. Or rather, if we insist on supposing that they are, it may be for our own sentimental reasons.
Played by RJ Mitte, Walt Jr. is the son of protagonist Walter White and his wife Skyler. He has cerebral palsy, as manifested in speech difficulties and impaired motor control, for which he uses crutches. His younger sister is Holly White.
As Walt either wouldn't or couldn't do anything to save Jane, he decided not to wake Jesse up, knowing that her death would help him gain control over Jesse as a result, and possibly saving Jesse from the same fate and to protect his own criminal secrets. Walt watching Jane die.
As punishment, they drove with Jesse to Andrea's house where Todd walked in and shot her. Jesse cried in anguish as remorseless Jack told him they'd kill Brock too if he tried to escape again.
At the time, Jesse blamed himself for losing the cigarette. At last, he realizes that Huell stole it to give to Walt, on Saul's orders. Jesse concludes that Walt poisoned Brock and storms back to extract a gunpoint confession from Saul.
“I've made a mistake. It's all my fault. I had it coming,” Walt confesses. Walt isn't just crying because he's ruined the only real relationship he had (both business and personal), but he's crying because he's realized the mess he's made of his life, and those around him.
