I agree with your post after this that the writers are distracting us from something bigger going on. This was definitely one of the least engaging episodes I've watched.
I don't think Jesse had to actually "do" anything; his facial expression and attitude said enough. He is completely lost and in a dark place right now. His friends are gone, his parents are gone, and the closest thing to a friend or father figure he has now is Walt, who barely notices him and is too self-absorbed to care about Jesse's problems, even though Jesse just committed murder for him.

Jesse is the most interesting character in the show right now.
