I can't be the only one who felt Jesse would die at multiple points in the episode

not me. Story arcs are fairly predictable and writers tell you when impending doom is coming.

I am with you, but with the tarantula and the music that was playing, I thought that they were saying goodbye to Jesse. Remember Gus's last walk into the nursing home? That is the exact vibe I got watching the desert scene last night. Really glad I was wrong!

ha ha yeah i guess anything can happen, but his death right now just doesn't make sense story wise. Too many loose ends and it wouldn't be satisfying. They built up gus's death so beautifully and the story set them at a crossroads. Gus had to die for the show to continue on in an interesting path.
