Looks like Mike is back next week. It will be interesting to see where that goes. We know from BB that Mike was really Gus' guy and not Saul's despite what Saul might have thought. Is Mike working for Gus at this point or is Gus even operating in Albuquerque in 2002?

In the last episode, Saul tells Tuco to check down at the courthouse about him, how he's a known face, a known guy.
Mike taking tolls, seeing the newcomers etc, would fit with that aspect.
Gus is definitely operating in ABQ in 2002 (RHYME TIME!). They never discussed it much, but if Tuco is working on behalf of the cartels, then Gus is too.
Gus might be wholesaling to Tuco at this point or running other territory, or maybe is just a muscle arm. At this point, it's unclear, but Gus is definitely in the picture there, just completely off the radar.
