This is one of the prominent caps from S4E1 "Box Cutter", during Victor's death, where Jesse and Gus stare at each other for a second. Here, in this screencap, Jesse transitions out of his near-catatonic state into awareness once again. Obviously, he's snarling, his face is contorted into a defiant expression -- something along the lines of "I don't care if I die, fuck you". Afterwards, of course, Jesse kind of fucks off and does things that are highly risky and dangerous for the beginning of S4. [And later into S4, he learns some moderation of both risk and caution, but that's later.] Interestingly enough, I find that this parallels S1 -- Walt throws himself into the criminal world merely because he decided to cut loose and sort of say "fuck death, I'm in charge now", and the show has been all about the consequences of that attitude since. Anyway, Jesse basically does a shorter version of that in the beginning of S4. Jokingly, I suppose you could say Jesse broke bad here (lmao). This makes sense, as S4 centers upon a sort of role reversal in status between Walt and Jesse, and so, naturally, if Jesse is supposed to take up Walt's position of power, he's going to have to parallel Walt and reflect that same recklessness.
