  The story leaves out option 5. 6 or so republicans pull an Ohio and go to the Dems in a small group to find a candidate they want to float for concessions. It could range from backing Jefferies to picking someone outside the current house but in doing so take the power out of the hands of both McCarthy and the Freedom Caucus types. 
  Everytime McCarthy cuts a deal with his hold outs to given into some demand to try to hold on to his speakership it's something he is asking one of his supporters to give up (stuff like jumping seniority for seats and gavils in different committees). And a lot of the rules changes he's floating to give them mean the holdouts could blow up his speakership at any time by having a "I call for a vote of no confidence" moment. However crossing lines and burning the party at large like this would likely be the end of their political careers even in Biden + districtics.
context: Paywall. So I'll just guess.
  
  McCarthy wins
  McCarthy loses.

  With these 4 members there is nothing to give them. They may have to do a deal with the Dems. The other 16 they might buy off , but I doubt it. >
  
  They only need 16 I think. >
  
  He needs 18, right now.  McCarthy got 200 votes on the last round. >
  
  One guy had to go to Doctor so left. But either way I think this is hopeless , and they ought to threaten to go to the Dems , which might just be the pressure point to put on these Wing Nuts sending out fund raising letters.
  I think if Kevin said , he gives the Dems bipartisan only subpoenas this revolt would crumble. >
