What do you think would have happened to Jesse

Spoiler

Hey friends, first time posting here. So season 5, Ozymandias. People are always speculating on youtube, or insta comments or even here on reddit how or why Walt could have changed his verbiage to scare off Jack and his gang to not come out, like lying that there was a fleet of cops/DEA. But what I've always wondered for awhile is, what would have happened to Jesse next?

Make no mistake, Jesse is a criminal and murderer, even if by this point in the show we sympathize with him, especially in contrast to Walter. But do you think Hank and Gomez would have immediately turned him in next and let the DA deal with it? They were a hastily put together "team" and interested in taking down Heisenbergat that point, but I feel not only is it in Hank's character to bring them BOTH to justice (I forget if he knows they're responsible for Gale's death, but he could certainly tie them to it, or as an accessory to murder), but the narrative never really implies what will happen next for Jesse.

Plus, with Walt apprehended, I can see a scenario where him and his lawyer, probably not Saul as Saul is already hot at that point, would rat on Jesse and Mike (who I know is dead, but the DEA didn't and were on him too) to the prosecutor. Secondly, Jack and his gang would probably try and have Walter and/or Jesse should charges be filed, taken out in prison so they can't tie things back to them.

Wasn't intended to start fanficing either, just always wondered the timeline where Walt is taken down and curious everyone else's thoughts, thanks!
