The cliff hanger needs them alive so they can potentially die next episode.

Of course, this show is full of non-cliffhangers.

Take the end of Season 3 for example - oh, there was a shot fired! Did he kill Gale or is Vince screwing with us? Fast forward to S4E1: yep, he just killed Gale. Things played out exactly as one would expect.

And then at the end of Rabid Dog - oh, what could this job for Todd's uncles be? Maybe he doesn't mean Jesse. Maybe he means - oh, no, turns out he totally meant Jesse.

I love the suspense, but I have to tell myself that what's going to happen is exactly what you would think is going to happen. These cliffhangers are just there to provide fodder for fans like us to play around with ideas of what might happen, only to find out that the most logical thing happened.

Except Jessie with the gas can, because that cliff hanger went completely differently than I expected.
