[@SubwayProphet]

It was actually a terrible idea to go to Jesses the fact he just barely escaped the DEA by sheer luck and his partner is on his way to prison as the Captain would lead me to believe his partner will almost certainly tell on him and Jesee has so helpfully personalized his licensce plate so the cops will know Emilio is telling the truth. Walt doesnt even know why the DEA was even on to Jesse and he saw his lab and how amateur and dangerous it was why on earth this would recommend him as a partner in the most consequential thing Walt had ever done and likely the last thing he would ever do either he gets the money for his family or he more likely gets arrested and lives out the final two years going back and forth to court and has to get Hank to save him and plead mercy for him and how Walt is an object of pity and that it was actually his own fault he took him on a ride along and may have even unintentionally put the idea in his head that alot of money could be made fairly easily in the drug trade not understanding the fragile state Walt was in as he was unaware of his cancer diagnosis. Basically its the worst thing Walt could imagine if he gets busted being shamed publicly and privately, showing that he was really just a loser who couldnt make it five seconds in the drug trade and then having to get Hank to rescue him from the consequences which he would if it was before anyone was hurt or killed but after is even worse all the shame and humiliation and none of the reward. Bottom line i wouldve put my mind to finding another way into the drug trade.
