After Peekaboo

Jesse was obviously badly affected by the events of Peekaboo, and I wonder why he didn't quit the business then and there. He had to have made the connection that cooking meth was supplying users who were parents, and clearly kids are a hard line for him.

The way that he reacts to finding out Andrea is a mom when he tries to sell her meth ("What kind of mother are you!?") shows that he finds it unacceptable when kids are around. I think the show takes Andrea's side, though, suggesting that Jesse wasn't right to get mad at her when he was selling it in the first place. Iirc he apologizes and they start their relationship.

It's the death of a kid that gets him out of the business altogether. Jesse's not nearly as talented at lying to himself as Walter is, so I don't think it's outright denial or self-justification that keeps him going after seeing the state of the Peekaboo kid. What do you think?
