Yay, you got your italics coding working! :D If LJ didn't suck so much it'd be nice if they just added a damn italics option to comment posting.

I think Walt had very passionate love/hate feelings towards Jesse at the end of S4. One moment he's yelling at Jesse to go get himself killed in Mexico, then he is yelling at Tyrus that he'll never cook again if anything has happened to Jesse in Mexico. I think Walt feels possessive of Jesse more so than loving or hating. It's the same with Skyler. He's cruel and abusive to her, yet he still won't let her go.

I hope it doesn’t turn into the Hank vs. Walt show

Well S4 was the Walt vs Gus show and Jesse still had a pivotal role to play in that battle. Usually when it's Walt Vs Anyone (Mike, Tuco, etc) Jesse is heavily involved in their conflict. Hank will surely link Jesse to Walt. He also knows Jesse has links with Saul, Badger, Tuco, etc. I think Hank is going to realise Jesse is a key player in the Heisenberg case. And yes, I hope we'll get that sort of Jesse/Skyler solidarity too.

I think they'd have to have some leverage on him - Andrea and Brock? his family?

I don't think they'll bring back Andrea & Brock, but I'm sure Lydia could find Jesse's family. If they threatened Jesse's little brother they'd certainly have leverage over him. I agree that if they just tried to make him cook at gunpoint Jesse would refuse and tell them to shoot him.
