When you're a caged animal, it's probably hard to think clearly about other people's circumstances. And Jesse said, "Just kill me and get it over with", which means he probably thought they were more interested with Jesse and his future, with the picture of Andrea just being an idle threat to keep him in line before they killed him. He thought that by trying to escape, they'd just move up their plans.

Remember the episode "Peekaboo", where Jesse met that semi-mute redhead kid living in poverty? That's who I imagine Todd used to be growing up, knowing how to be polite from watching TV but not having any of the emotional framework to know what any of it means. It's like the Romanian orphans who grew up without human contact, almost all of them growing up with psychological issues and delayed development. The way he says, "Just so you know, it's nothing personal." It's like he's reciting it because he thinks he's supposed to.

Also, just want to say Jesse 100% got Andrea killed. He knew they were using her as a threat and he still tried to escape. What did he think was going to happen?

Better Call Saul should be required watching after one finishes Breaking Bad in the first place

Its really interesting, seeing this episode again, understanding the similarities between Walt and Jesse in this time of their business basically being passed on to other owners (similar to Walt's previous job at Grey Matter, was passed onto his associates) as both main characters are essentially locked in a prison of their own, Jesse physically, and Walt mentally...before they both try to finally escape, both with negative consequences.
