THE OTHER SON
Over the course of two seasons, in both very subtle nuances and the severity of nearly every situation those guys faced, Walt & Jesse's partnership became more of an, awkward, friendship.
The Tuco saga turned that awkward friendship into a solid (yet still secret) one.
Later during Walt's "visit with his mother", his advice and positive encouragement to Jesse came as a surprise, but it was so... necessary. Walt told Jesse something to the effect of "I believe in you, Jesse. You can do this," and it became clear that Walt's trust and kind words were all Jesse really needed.
Their bond / relationship is never fully identified though, until the last few episodes. Walter showed an incredible amount of compassion for Jesse... the kind desperate compassion and love that a father (or mother) has for a child who they feel is slipping away.
Although Flynn, aka Walt Jr. is undoubtedly the son of Walter White, I believe that mentally and emotionally, Walter has adopted Jesse as perhaps... the son he never had.
Absolutely! Walt even called Jesse "son" when he rescued him from the crackhouse. It just kind of slipped out so naturally as he was waking Jesse out of his drug stupor, it was apparent that it wasn't planned or even acknowledged by either of them; it was just... the way things have become.
Have I said lately how much I love this show?
Indeed. The development of Walt and Jesse's relationship has been one of the most interesting aspects of the show for me. As amusing as they are when they fight, I'd like to see more of the bond we saw in "4 Days Out".
Saul did the paperwork.. Jesse is Walt's son
