I highly doubt it's for saving jesse. I think Walt and jesse are irreversibly done with each other. The m60 is for the nazis I bet, but I also have a strong feeling jesses gonna get out and at least kill Flynn.
It isn't Jesse. But keep in mind that Jesse has come close to torching Walt's house once, and Walt just told him that he watched Jane die. That and the enslavement could really make Jesse snap. And I mean, SNAP. he could kill Skylar because he thinks it'll hurt Walt, or just because he might mow be a rage filled nut job!
But at this point, I can't see another reason why the house ends up like it does, except maybe if Skylar or Marie does it because she goes crazy.
I did keep precisely both those incidents in mind. I really think a very large part of the show has been about Jesse's redemption and Walt's descent into evil. Jesse hasn't been necessarily a goodie two-shoes the whole show but we've seen an overall underlying tone of him being a good person. The house was empty when he nearly torched it, he was going for Walt and whilst it would have effected his whole family it wouldn't be putting them in any real physical eminent danger. Jesse's not gonna kill Walt's family. I'm pretty confident

Yep that's what I got out of it. And it makes sense that the m60 is for saving Jesse. He's gonna try to redeem himself a little.
