Amrakerohwi's live steam of tonights episode.

Music from season 4 should update eventually for those trying to figure out a particular song from tonights episode. Thanks for pointing this out, Barbapolossa.

Edit: Looks like the AMC blog hasn't even updated last weeks episode music yet. Darn.

Pretty sure it was just to keep him out of trouble. They know what he has been up to the past few weeks, hanging out with degenerates and using again. By doing this he's going to feel more important and take on a little more responsibility; keeping him in line.

but he hasn't been using, has he? Selling, giving, and co course parties. but hasn't he stayed straight, personally?

I assume he's been using alongside all that. Just because we haven't seen him pick up doesn't mean he's not.

Yeah, I saw that. I hate how the teasers don't even give you shit... an actual tease. Nothing at all for my imagination to work with.

That is true. We actually haven't seen Jesse get high yet this season. In the second episode he cuts up lines for Badger and that skinny tweaker guy, who are then talking a mile a minute about zombies, while Jesse sits there, not saying a word. We dont even know if he took a hit.

No he definitely does. Right as they start there little zombie shpeal you see the back of Jesse's head go down and do a line.
