why this better call saul scene was so brilliant (Analysis)

So this is my favourite scene in all of Better Call Saul — the first time Gus Fring and Lalo Salamanca are ever in a room together. Just two guys, a bit of chicken, some small talk at Los Pollos Hermanos. Sounds boring. It's not. I break down what's really going on under that Lalo vs Gus small talk, the messed-up "blood for blood" irony of what Lalo's actually thanking him for, and how this one quiet chat kicks off the war that nearly ends Gus. From Lalo meeting Gus for the first time all the way to Gus killing Lalo — it all starts here. Honestly think Lalo is the best villain the whole franchise ever made, and this scene is why.
