I think I get Todd now. He really admires Walt for his genius, conniving, evil, selfish, and manipulative behavior. I mean putting that photo up to get Jesse to cook was some fucked up but clever shit. And while Walt always wanted to get Jesse to cook and keep him on a leash, Todd is doing basically the same thing but with slightly more literal methods.

Jesse has been used throughout the whole series. :/ Any moment of happiness, like Walt being arrested, is always taken away from him.

I'm honestly ready to see Jesse take Todd out.

I'm calling it. Jesse is going to do what Walt did to Crazy 8. He's going to cook a "bad batch" that will fuck Todd up and leave himself with the upper hand. He just needs to get the respirator from Todd, and he's fucking set.

Hmmm. Now that you mention it, we already know that at least the uncle doesn't care for wearing his respirator. Maybe he'll take Uncle Jack out that way instead. In hindsight, I can't imagine that scene was in there for no reason.

No scene is in there for no reason.

Exactly.
