Breaking Bad is a big complicated television show full of incredibly realized fictional personalities. Over the course of the show we learn about the people in it, and get to know how they think and feel on a deeper level. Jesse Pinkman is one such character. First introduced to us as a scumbag drug dealer, Jesse becomes one of the main characters of the show.

At first Jesse is closed off to Walt, as he is afraid of being turned in, and, more importantly, getting too close before being closed off.

In the meantime Jesse attempts to cook meth on his own, with help from his friend Badger. Jesse, having already accepted Walt’s guidance, takes Walt’s standards of purity upon himself, showing his dedication to the relationship between him and Walt. His subsequent failures lead him to throw out the batches and get frustrated with himself for not being able to meet Walt’s standards. When Walt offers to join back in business, Jesse is fully dedicated to him. Jesse embraces the new relationship he has with Walt. When he finds out that Walt has cancer, Jesse helpfully offers the advice to Walt to “put an icepack on your head during chemo.” Jesse now cares for Walt and his comfort.
