Breaking Bad Movie: 10 Things That Must Happen
6. What Happened To Jesse's Brother?
Given that the upcoming Breaking Bad movie is likely going to follow Jesse’s exploits immediately after the show ended, it’s worth questioning what exactly happened to his family. When audiences last saw Pinkman’s parents, they had been strong-armed into unwittingly selling a house to their son by Saul Goodman, who informed them that they could get into legal trouble for failing to disclose the property’s criminal history.
Most crucially, nobody has any idea what became of Jake, Jesse’s younger brother. An adolescent seemingly pushed down the wrong path by overeager parents, he’s the only real connection Jesse has to his past life. He probably can’t return to his parents after he swindled them out of a truckload of money, but he may still want to reunite with his brother.
Jake Pinkman was primarily featured in an early episode and wasn’t given much screen time, but he could come into play in the upcoming movie. We know that, despite his fantastic academic record, he’s in danger of following the same path as Jesse, and fans need to know what happened to him after his brother went missing.
