Almost all of Jesse's screen time in the first three episodes of 5b were spent showing how depressed he was. Suitcases of money, not a DEA agent in sight, and finally free from working with Walt, and he was still at the lowest point of his life. Think of everything this character has been through- Jane's death, killing Gale, Combo's death, Andrea's little brother's death, Brock being poisoned, and the icing on the cake- Drew Sharp. I don't even think that changing his name and moving to Alaska could provide a guilt-free life for Jesse, and I'm starting to think that death is the only way out for him.

Scenario 2: Gomez and/or Hank die, but so do Todd and his Gang. Jesse is left with Walt. Again, we know that Walt doesn't get sent to jail or killed at this point, therefore- Jesse is either alive and depressed, or Walt kills Jesse.
Scenario 3: Hank, Gomez, and Jesse all die- Marie tells the DEA everything and shows them what evidence she has after Hank's death. Walt's only option is to be on the run while the DEA tries to find him- but Jesse is dead.
Scenario 4 (and the scenario that I personally hope happens): Jesse opens the door of the car and walks into the Aryan's open fire. He dies, but on his own terms. Hank and Gomie wind up killing some of the Aryans, but Gomie winds up getting shot. Either Todd or one of his Uncles snatch Walt out of the car and take him with them, forcing him to teach them how to make his crystal meth, and leaving him alone and on the run afterwards. Hank lives (hey a girl can dream).
Next Week's episode is called 'Ozymandias', and Gilligan has said that it's his favorite episode in the whole series. Just like how Vince used Walt Whitman's 'Gliding O'er All' to perfectly fit last year's episode, 'Ozymandias' is no coincidence.
Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed
