LOL, quite. That said, I don't think Walt is gonna get a redemption story. Walt may fool himself into thinking he's the sacrificial hero. But if he is on some mission to rescue Jesse I think Jesse would be horrified by Walt going on a machine gun rampage and claiming he's doing it for Jesse. The last thing Jesse wants is for more people to die.
I mean if Jesse did find out (and his head didn't immediately explode) what could he do?
Well, I think this is where my 'mental institution' theory comes in. I don't think Jesse could bring himself to kill Walt. Jesse was so traumatized after killing a stranger, I don't think he could cope with killing his partner and father figure, even if he did know about Walt's betrayals. But I do think knowing the truth would destroy Jesse and I fear he might even attempt suicide.
My alternate (and completely inplausible and wishful thinking) theory is that Walt and Jesse will end up with only each other left and Jesse will care for Walt until he dies of cancer and then go to art school and do something useful with himself. :)
I do like the idea of Jesse 'breaking good' in the end. My sentimental future fic idea was that Jesse would get out of jail at age 50 and just as Walt started leading a bad life at age 50 Jesse would start leading a good life. But that idea seems far too twee for BB.
I do like the idea of Jesse being the only one at Walt's bedside when he's finally dying of cancer. Or maybe Walt will be completely alone but he'll imagine seeing Jesse by his side? Like, you've said, it'd be good to get a sense of how much Jesse means to Walt.
