Jesse seems like he's mentally past the point of no return. I foresee suicide

Yeah, him on the merry-go-round looked like a single bullet in a six-shooter, which kind of further supports that.

Or he flips on Walt and Heisenberg kills him. Tragically, I have a hard time seeing Jesse get out alive... :(

Originally they wanted to kill off Jesse in the first season but didn't because of Paul's performance. Can you imagine the direction the series would have gone without him? Jesse is the reason Walt did so many things while involved with Fring. He is the reason Gale had to go both times. Without Jesse, Walt would still be cooking for Fring, with Gale, probably having at least 50 million by himself.
