My theory is a bit of a wild one...
The Gayle/Gus scene at his house was a foreshadowing and was actually taking place at the time of Jesse going to the house. This has a bit of a plot hole in that Gayle was quite insistent that he needed another cook to get all he needed.
Jesse goes to the house to kill Gayle but at the last minute he sees Gus and takes that opportunity to end it all by killing him.
Alternatively Gus could have been making a second visit to Gayle's. I don't want to see Gus dead but I don't see how Gayle being killed or impaired can extend the lives of both Jesse and Walt for any decent amount of time.
- Why would Gus go back? If there was time shift written into the script -> what's the purpose behind confusing the audience?********
- audience? I'm not sure this is so plausible.********
- Breaking Bad frequently uses foreshadowing and I thought this could be one of those times.********
- Gus would have gone back to say that Walt is dead and he expects Gayle to take on the job immediately.********
- Anything other than killing Gayle still means Walt is not needed. Gayle + an assistant could work the lab.********
- and Gus now sees Walt as disloyal and as loose a cannon as Jesse. I vaguely recall 'He is at ADDRESS' being said, not 'Gayle' explicitly.********
- Gayle explicitly - I may be wrong on this, but this could also explain the otherwise reasonably irrelevant scene with the chemical thievery and awesomeness with the asians.********

- This seems less wild the more I think about it.********
- ... maybe, but when Gus spoke with Gale, they agreed in principle to one more cook together .. we got to see that one more cook.********
- extra cook -> Gale was quizzing Walt more than usual.********
