I guess on the other side of things, Gus could threaten to harm Walter's family, but that would also draw a lot of attention to Gus (what with Hank being a DEA agent and all) so that's probably not a very viable option for him either. I think we are going to see Walt take control of the whole situation and ultimately kill Gus

Spoiler!

I guess I don't feel like Walt really does hold all the cards, assuming Gale is dead. Would an actual drug cartel guy put up with this much crap? Would it be that difficult to find another person to duplicate Walt's recipe? I mean, he's using basic science, it would seem. Can't he find another "Gale" to duplicate it?

As for Walt killing Gus, that seems to me what the trailers are indicating.
