Breaking Bad: 10 Worst Things Jesse Pinkman Has Ever Done

9. Turning His House Into A Crack Den

Season 4 was a difficult time for Jesse Pinkman. He'd endured some low points before - particularly after the death of Jane - but these early episodes saw him in a pit of self-loathing deeper than ever. Though he'd claimed to know he was the bad guy, killing Gale cemented that in his mind, and it wasn't something he could live with.

Consequently, he essentially became a shell of a person, drowning out his own thoughts with constant parties in his house. These escalated to the point where the Pinkman estate was pretty much indistinguishable from the kind of drug dens that Walter had to pull Jesse out of at the end of Season 2.

The state of the house - covered in graffiti scrawl, full of morally repugnant characters and rot - became an external representation of Jesse's soul at that point, and it wasn't good for anyone involved.
