Could this be the beginning of the end for Jesse on 'Breaking Bad' (Sun., 10PM ET on AMC)?

He's living in squalor, surrounded by addicts and homeless hangers-on, and he seems to have lost his grip on reality.

Unfortunately for him, his bad behavior caught the attention of the hard-as-nails Mike who sees him as a liability and who thinks he should be taken down.

As a test, Mike confronted Jesse with a bloodied, trussed-up man lying on his basement floor, saying that the guy had stolen Jesse's money. Jesse didn't even blink. He just picked up the money and stumbled to the stairs. When Mike hinted that he was going to kill the guy, Jesse just shrugged.

He then taunted Mike, saying "Is the point where I'm supposed to beg you not to do it? ... I'm supposed to promise, cross my heart, and straighten up?"

Unfortunately for Jesse, Mike's employer, Gustavo, agreed that the kid's a problem and so at the end of the episode we saw Walt looking for his missing son as Mike was driving Jesse out into the desert. The implication seemed clear, but will Mike actually kill Jesse? Or will Walt save him?
