Totally agree with this, it is actually the most likely way it would happen given the circumstances of her living through everything.
Gustavo is gay, and he likes the waiter.
Plus he isn’t ready to move on after the cartel killed his last partner and that’s why he left.
And also, he realized that he just can't let himself fall for anyone with the life he's leading. So he just left rather than fall in deeper.
This makes sense. I was leaning towards he just doesn't let anyone in because he would have to let his guard down and the Lalo situation might have taught him some lessons about that.
I think Kim winds up in Omaha, ordering a cinnamon roll, grabs Jimmy and the two of them drive off to Alaska, where they somehow meet up with Jesse Pinkman in the future. And then spin this into an entirely new show where they help smuggle gold from the Yukon with the guys from the TV show "Gold Rush".
I mean, it was already established in Breaking Bad that he was gay, and the cartel killed his boyfriend, and this is all one big game of revenge for Gus against the cartel.
Gus poisons Don Eladio with an expensive rare wine as a toast. You can see that Gus is formulating a plan. We know the future.
It was tequila not wine. The scene last night was all about Gus going all in on running the cartel and realizing he can't have a relationship because he doesn't want to put his partner in danger again because of who Gus is.
The fact it was tequila isn't important. It seems the point of this scene is to show where/how Gus came up with the idea of sharing a rare bottle of tequila (poisoned) with Don Eladio and his gang.
everything in the show could be done that way. Howard hit his breaking point and got buried under a meth lab. Completely unsatisfying Kim exit if that’s how it goes, on par with botching got ending.
They have 4 episodes to make up for it, and I expect they will, but it will be because this is a misdirection if it works out.
This is a great point. It was an interesting scene because Gus takes four minutes to celebrate a little before slipping back into his total hatred mode for familia Salamanca. He cannot even stand to finish enjoying the moment.
The zafiro anejo tequila used by Gus to kill Don Eladio is the same $50 a shot stuff Jimmy and Kim hustled out of the stockbroker in the restaurant early in the series when they pretended to be siblings with a big inheritance to invest. Jimmy saves the cork as a memory, but when police toss his house in the cold open to this season, you see it laying in the street.
Jimmy was going to go buy a bottle this season to celebrate their hustle of Howard and realized while waiting in line that the retired judge at the center of the scam was in the store with a broken arm.
It isn't a real product, but it is pretty central to the BCS/BB universe somehow.
