I heard Jimmy goes on the run but gets confused by the highway signs because he forgot his glasses in Nebraska. So instead of fleeing into old Mexico, he accidentally drives right into the waiting arms of the New Mexico State Police. The final line, as he is being handcuffed, will be:

I think it's pretty much guaranteed that Jimmy will either die or go to jail. I don't see how either outcome negates anything since it's the events in Nebraska (born out of Jimmy's compulsions and inability to live a live of subdued anonymity) that will lead to them.
Maybe there's a way for them to pull off an ending where Jimmy manages to get away scot free but I am doubtful

Walt sacrifices himself to rescue Jesse, earning some degree of redemption. Will Jimmy be able to save Kim? Can he earn redemption? Does Kim deserve saving? What would Jimmy need to sacrifice to save her? His life? His freedom? Will he be willing to do it?

thematically it works just fine, but it would be crap storytelling. This show began from place of already knowing that Jimmy would “break bad.” The hook for the viewers — established by the flash-forwards to NE — was that unlike Walt, Jimmy would eventually find the light side of the force, baking Cinnabons until events would collide in such a way that he would narrowly escaped the jaws of death (and possibly find true love).
If he goes down, that’s a real rug-pull of all the emotion invested on the basis of the Gene storyline. Would it make sense? Sure, but no more than Jimmy getting away to a new life, hard lessons learned, hero’s journey 101.
It seems the showrunners are about to subvert expectations at the expense of a satisfying conclusion for our anti-hero. For me personally, it might single-handed my ruin what has been a near pitch-perfect show.
