Mike's relationship with Jesse over the course of the series is kind of like a dad who's really against getting a pet dog but then ends up loving it more than anyone.

[tankdogization]

Mike and Jesse would’ve made one hell of a duo.

[Hasbulla]

Mike should’ve left the minute Walt killed Fring, he was a smart man but he underestimated walts ego

[CAM]

The sad thing is this was the first time in Jesse’s life that someone had shown him any kind of appreciation.

[GCeara-mhit]

Jesse showed no ego because he was completely oblivious to Gus's plans of this "hit" being staged (later to be revealed to Jesse when Walt questions him about it). This is the moment when Mike knew that this is THE guy.

[NotoriousBroadcasts]

The way that Mike says I saw it’s just like a dad talking to his kid who wants attention.

[BuddyBoy-nenw]

When you earn Mike's trust, you smoke up.

Me: "But I don't smo..."
"SMOKE UP!"

[corey]

I believe at first Mike was pissed off thinking Jesse had run off in panic and that's why he looked and sounded pissed off when calling for a cab. But when Jesse came back to pick him up, he realised that not only had Jesse managed to outrun them (Id imagine they gave chase for a while to report back to Gus what he did) but he did it to protect the dead drop. It's at this moment Mike went from heavily disliking Jesse to respecting him.

And this is the moment when Mike became Jesse's father

[theprofessional]

Mike had the makings of a varsity athlete the way he jogged in that alley.

[Klauspeach]

I love the relationship between Mike and Jesse. The way he called him KID. Just like a loving and caring dad. I want a spin-off with just them, it would be amazing!

[rachael]

Mike literally went from "Jessie is a junkie and a loose end, " to "No one can replace my dead son, but..."

[J_GoTTi]

The look Jesse gives after Mike gives him permission is priceless! 😂

[smokeyalpaca]

Mike wasn't impressed that Jesse handled the fake situation fairly well
He was impressed that the kid came back for him.
No man left behind

[EverGreen]

Just noticed this is the same Chrysler car Mike has in Better Call Saul and it's battered in BB. Love the attention to detail in these shows

[TheUnknownDungeon]

Aw jeeze the stuntman in the car took a real beating. He was definitely feeling that the next day you betcha.

[MrMasterDebate]

Jessie would have been so much better off with mike as a father figure

[michaelsieger]

i've never smoked a cigarette in my life but the way Mike says 'smoke up' makes smoking sound healthy and delicious.

[RCRDC_handlesarepoopoo]

Jesse and Mike was a duo I would've wanted to see more of. Time for a an alternative spin-off series?

[toogee]

Jesse looking at him like "really, Dad? I can ... smoke now?"
