It's been a process leading to that moment, a moral decline that's been going for several seasons now. A big scene for me is when he didn't save Jane in season 2 and justified it to himself by saying he was protecting Jesse from her negative influence and the drugs. But really, his main motive was that he was jealous over her control of him and wanted to continue to use and manipulate him (as he's been doing for the bulk of the five seasons).
