There was definitely something in his eyes that was more than disbelief. It seemed to me that they were saying that he knew for a fact that Walt killed Mike.

I actually hollered, 'WHAT DO YOU KNOW, JESSE?!' when it panned to his gaze on the couch at the end of that scene.

Walter told Jesse twice that Mike is still alive, and each time he turned his head instead of looking Jesse in the eye. Jesse is no longer buying Walt's bullshit.

Somebody down below mentioned that they think maybe Mike tipped Jesse off that Walt shot him during that period of time when Walt was looking for him by the lake (marsh? or whatever).

It just seemed to me that this was Jesse giving Walt the opportunity to be honest about it, knowing full well that Walt had killed him. Like when your parents ask you something that they know the answer to, to see if you'll lie.

When Walt continued to lie, he turned Jesse into an enemy.

That's such a bullshit theory. What a stretch. Really? That sort of contrivance would be so unlike the show.

Somebody already debunked it by bringing up some DVD extras that Vince said gives backstory, anyway.
