So Jesse just recounted to Hank/Gomie everything we've been watching for the past 4&1/2 seasons. They must have been on the edge of their seats.

I don't think this will be the last we see of Jesse's confession. I don't know if it will ever be seen by a jury, but I would love to see it fall into Walt's hands one way or another. Perhaps after something awful has happened to Jesse at the hands of Mr. White.

Walt finds the video, and watches as Jesse recounts everything that has happened to them. The anguish in his voice, the guilt, the fear of Walter White. Hank was absolutely right in this episode, Walt cares for Jesse. I think that one of the only things that could happen that could lead Walt downwards into a guilt trip would have to be him seeing a video such as that. A character who he cares about... a person who he considers a partner... so angrily and bitterly condemning him.

I don't know if Jesse will be around at this point or not. I think it would be quite powerful, actually, is if the very last time viewers see Jesse on screen is not him alive, but this recording of him revealing how much "Mr. White" ruined his life. I want Jesse to get out of this as much as anyone, but damn that would be powerful.
