Breaking Bad: 10 Worst Things Jesse Pinkman Has Ever Done

1. Getting Jane Back On Drugs

Jesse and Jane's relationship is often glorified in Breaking Bad, and it is true that the two were in love, but it was also an extremely toxic situation. It started off well enough, with the two respecting each other's boundaries and Jane's sobriety, but that all went down the toilet when Combo died.

To make himself feel better, Jesse resorted to drugs. Clearly a mess, Jane didn't want to leave him on his own, and stays while he smokes a bowl of crystal, before falling off the wagon herself. The big issue here is that Jesse doesn't even feign an argument to try to get her to not start using with him. Instead, he sits by as she breaks her 18-month sobriety and sets them both on a spiral that will result in one of them dying.

Obviously he's not in charge of her actions, but the fact that he doesn't support her sobriety, and instead selfishly lets her start using again so he can feel better, is an incredibly s****y thing to do.
