The Headcanon Meme

I. Post with your character. If you've got a bunch, consider doing a catch-all under one header.

II. Poke other characters with questions. Ask about their childhood, crushes, their thoughts on game events. Anything you can imagine.

III. Answer questions people have left for you with your headcanon, or canon if it's been covered there.

IV. Feel free to go into as much or as little detail as you want.

I'm writing a fic! But, hmm, less lyrically... I don't think Jesse's chances are very good. He might have a head start, but that's a lot of desert to cross with what's probably not a full tank of gas, so I'm not confident he'd make it out of the state before the night's over. Come morning, his prints will be identified not only all over the lab but all over the gun that was used to kill Jack Welker (and thanks for that, Walt). That erases any assumption that he might have been dead all this time - and remember, according to Marie, he was the last person seen with Hank and Gomez, so that catapults him to the list of murder suspects for that, as well.

So you have Jesse without money, without a car, crossing a desert, looking highly conspicuous, while there's probably a nationwide manhunt going on for this guy who looks like he just participated in a mass slaughter at a meth superlab. If he managed to evade the cops that first night, it's going to be very hard for him to keep doing it. Alaska's a pipe dream, since he'd have to cross not one but two international borders a thousand miles away. He might be able to get into Mexico if he happened to find a truck going in the right direction, but then what? He's in Mexico as the guy who killed Joaquin Salamanca and helped Gus Fring take down a cartel. This is enemy territory. It'd probably end even worse for him than getting captured by American authorities, seeing as the cartels like to leave bodies hanging on highway overpasses.

Of course, Jesse's almost certainly dead if he stays in the US, too. Being a drug kingpin carries the death sentence with the federal government and there's no one left for Jesse to trade in order to receive a lighter sentence. Someone would have to somehow convince the government he was manufacturing all that meth against his will. You better hope he has a good lawyer out there...
