Another interesting thing with these laast couple episodes. After killing gail, jesse asked badger and skinny pete to come over because he couldn't be alone. They had an extended debate about zombie video games and how you shoot them, and jesse couldn't join in. He just got higher and higher. During his big meth binge, he goes downstairs and grabs a random girl and brings her up to his room, where they play mario kart together. He could easily have had the sex with her, but he wanted company, and he wanted to play a video game, just not one with any shooting.
But after mike and gus make him into a hero, and he starts to get the acceptance he has wanted since the first episode of the show, he beomes comfortable in his own skin. He's the bad guy. So at the start of this episode right now, you hear gunshots, and see him standing with a gun, only to realize he's playing one of the zombie shooter video games that he couldn't even talk about two episodes ago. And as his character dies, he stands there looking at the screen, choosing between restart and quit, and shoots restart.
Even more interesting now that we know how walt ends all of this. He totally denies jesse his identity, saying that gus and mike were lying to jesse to get to walt. And jesse believes walt, which leaves him where he always has been, craving acceptance but feeling worthless. It was the ultimate move to use on jesse.
