I'm kind of crossing my fingers that that's the case. Jesse's got to come to grips with who he has become; why not do it in the baddest-assest way possible?

Interesting, but I don't think this is the case. I took the surprised look on Mike's face as his realization that Jesse has reached the point of nothing left to lose. And when you are in this type of illegal business, you can't afford to work with a loose cannon that has nothing to lose; everyone needs to have a healthy dose of desire and fear.
I believe Mike is taking Jesse out to the desert to try one last time to convince him that if he doesn't snap out of his funk he will kill him. Mike actually has a bit of a soft side, so I expect he will combine the typical fear and violence with a personal story to help relate to what Jesse is feeling. Jesse is in a dark place right now and feels completely alone; just holding a gun up to his head will not do the trick right now.
