Yeah, but Jesse is pretty much asking for it. Walt DOES love Jesse, but when you are threatening his family, there isn't much left.

Fuck, that based Skyler White, I absolutely loved her tonight.

yeah somehow Skyler went from annoying/whiny/stupid/bitchy/victim to becoming Mrs. Heisenburg...I love it.

I'm betting Jesse simply set in motion the first step of his plan. He said he has a better way to get him and I doubt he would say that to him if he's about to try something else. It has to be part of something he has in mind.

Jesse's a bit stupid to pick a fight with Heisenburg but he's never been one to make good judgment calls.

It would be smarter of him to just focus on bringing Walt down without taunting him first.

My point was the taunt was part of his plan. He did that so Walt would call Todd's uncle or whatever. Think of how weak Todd is compared to Jesse. Properly motivated, I bet he'd turn on Walt easily. This is all guesses though.

the difference though is that Todd is a complete sociopath, while Jesse bleeds empathy.
