this makes the most sense. this is probably the beginning of Mike and Gus teaming up.
They were probably following Mike from far behind for some reason and had to be all mysterious for some reason and couldn't just walk up to him and say don't do this please. I don't know about all this. Hopefully there's an actual reason for that and not to just dick us around.

What if it's Future Mike. New Breaking Bad timeline with Future Mike keeping Mike awesome and aware of everything. Too bad Future Mike didn't live long enough to warn Mike of his death.

How would Mike be his own son? Don't be ridiculous.

Hmm why would Gus want Tio alive? Aren't they rivals? Unless they have like an agreement of MAD if one of them were to be killed, just blame it on the guy that hates you lol

Maybe Gus has other plans for hector. Maybe Gus wants to get that revenge himself. We know it runs deep. That combined with maybe Gus wants to recruit mike.

Hate that they left the audience with that curiosity, until the next season. Would have been cool if they introduced him right there at the end, just waiting in Mikes car blowing the horn haha.

Mike is dead if Hector croaks and people find out. Gus needs a right hand man.

Idk just should have left some doubt about his return.
Yeah. Assuming the note is from Gus, I think a big part of it is he just wants Hector to suffer, just based on what we saw in Breaking Bad. We know he relished telling him that all of the Cartel leaders died and that the last member of Hector's family was killed too. There was also the taunting at Casa Tranquila that seemed like a regular thing. I think he's just biding his time, but he wants to be the one to cause him all that pain because of what Hector did to him in the past. The mindset is that there are more ways to kill a man than shooting him.
but why wouldn't he just personally tell Mike to please not shoot Hector instead of giving him enough time to do it? i mean the sniper scene was executed really well and was intense, but it doesn't make much sense.

Chuck is the goddamn MVP. As soon as Jimmy confessed I instantly realized Chuck got him. Thought Howard/the police was behind a curtain or that Chuck was even wearing a wire. Jimmy played himself.
Mike's part was whatever, not sure if "FRING'S BACK" staying a mystery would have helped it. The sniping part was somewhat tense but you know Hector/The Cousins aren't dying, and I didn't think the show would ice Nacho so early either.
Not sure where they go for season 3, it'll be interesting.
One more note: how the hell would Nacho and the other guy not notice Mike practically RIGHT BEHIND THEM after they go through the gate. Was that supposed to be misdirection that Nacho left the note? Even not knowing about the letters it would've made no sense.
Edit: One more one more note: I'm sorta excited that Chuck got Jimmy. Frank Grimes fucking won!

Yeah, it's more than a bit of a "TV moment" for sure. No argument there.
I'm guessing he had some kind of network of people watching (like Victor, whoever else) and it was a mixture of not wanting to expose themselves while also trying to stop him. Maybe they weren't sure that doing that to the car would work, but that was the best option they had outside of complete exposure. Just spitballing here.

I'm sure a legal expert will write about it, but wouldn't that recording be unable to be used in court? The only way Chuck would be able to use it is to stoop to Jimmy's level (assuming it isn't credible evidence)
Edit: Never mind, skipped the last page of replies somehow. Chuck nailed him. #TeamChuck

I think the Chuck/Jimmy story is at an all time high right now and I do love how they ended the season with them.
I think Mike's story has gotten a bit corny lately though. There's still something kind of weird going on with his daughter-in-law that isn't really being addressed. The cousins' cartoonish-ness feels like less of a good fit here than in Breaking Bad. Mike seems to be acting sort of out of character, obsessing over Hector like this. And then these weird moments tonight like with the invisible car and the mysterious note, which felt like an unsatisfying way to end his seasonal arch (especially if we didn't have that "FRINGS BACK" hint).
It's not bad by any means, but I hope they tighten it up next season or else it's going to really start feeling weak next to Jimmy's story, and I'd hate it to start to feel like a nuisance or an action break or something.
Probably an unpopular opinion though, since for a while I think Mike was by far the more popular one. And he has had great moments, like when he dealt with the cartel members at his home, and the truck heist. It's just not quite as solid as it could be.

Gus not wanting Mike to kill Hector makes perfect sense if you remember Breaking Bad.
"I do this."
"I do this."
Jimmy could always say that he just said all of that to make Chuck feel better.
Also Gus didn't leave that note but it could have been from someone that works for Gus.

What time is it?
Chuck is such a bastard. Loved the episode but Mike's plot line is starting to feel more and more flimsy.
It would be pretty easy to get the copy shop employee to admit he was paid off which would be pretty damning for Jimmy.

This is awesome and I applaud the mod that did this if it's true.
Not much worse in TV threads than shitting on a show and saying you are done with it only to post more negativity again the next episode or season.

I'm not sure I get this.
DON'T. Written plainly. It's such a Gus thing to do. We knew he was coming because he's crucial to Mike's story, now makes perfect sense, who else did you expect?
I'd rather they be honest than treat us like idiots for 10 months.

Damn, we're going to get a huge moment in court where Kim either drives the knife into Jimmy or lies for him on the stand.

Get him Chuck! Just for being that goddamn stupid Jimmy deserves his L. And I was just rooting for him an episode ago.

Yeah Mike was literally watching the house the whole time. No way it's anyone connected to Hector or Nacho. They've already established that Nacho can't keep up with Mike and anyone from Hector would have just shot Mike.
I also think it's ridiculous to think Nacho was purposefully blocking the shot. He would have had to know PRECISELY where Mike was to block it that perfectly. He was just standing next to Hector because he's Tio's right hand man.
Only one person could be behind the note.

I would never put anything past these writers. It's never quite what you think.
It just seems too perfect not to be Gus though.

In New Mexico is it legal to record someone without telling them?
