What happened was her mind used the Neural Mesh to avoid going back into the Drive. Without that, she was completely vulnerable. Josie said herself that she thought a death might be permanent for her with their Mindspaces combined even WITH the Drive in Clarke's head. Without it, she had nothing to fall back on at all. I rewatched the scene from Nevermind where Clarke kills her and from what was said I think Clarke ACTUALLY killed her but the Drive rebooted her as it would if her host had died and she was given a new one.

As for what Gabriel was planning on doing, I don't know if he would've destroyed the Drive, but he didn't want to give it back to Russell which meant she would not get another resurrection and effectively remain dead and dormant inside the Drive.

Might I point out that her plan had one major flaw: by remaining in Clarke like that, she practically assured they would both die if Clarke's body couldn't be revived. Without the Mind Drive to download into, she could've died permanently with Clarke. She would've died permanently anyway when Clarke's body eventually died even if it was sometime into the future because she could no longer download into the Mind Drive to get a new host.
