Gus fights very hard to peel Jesse from Walt, and while he initially believes Jesse is some weird attachment of Walt's, in his machinations, he realizes that Jesse is actually quite an excellent and capable asset. And fries to peel him away.
It's even expressed that Jesse is valuable and quite loyal, but to "the wrong person"-- as if loyalty can be traded off!
This script is all quite brilliant. It's easy for Gus to see that this punk Jesse could be swayed, yet he couldn't see just how fiercely Jesse was loyal to Walt. And, ultimately, just fow powerful the Jesse/Walt pair could be!
The ending?
Well, this is one of the finest moments in television, isn't it?
Walt feverishly looking for the money, Skylar admitting she gave the money to Ted(!), Walt panicking at Skylar, then breaking down in insane laughter, then Marie's frantic call.
Wow!
This was the most surreal moment I think I've set seen on tv.
