If Gus had to be introduced this early on, it makes sense to be teased in this finale. I figured he'd make an appearance for sure in Season 3 because of the Mike/Hector feud.

Not sure how Mike will be introduced to Gus, but we all know that Mike becomes second-in-command in Gus' camp. In the preview, we notice Mike testing out a true hitman-style sniper and Mike is a hitman afterall (maybe now moreso than ever considering he's been trying so hard to avoid killing and he had an innocent person murdered by Hector).

All the pieces are adding up around Mike's character we all knew in BB so 'klick' is definitely VG's way to spell out Fring's back

My prediction:

Remember that Gus has it out for Hector for killing his boyfriend in Mexico in the BB flashback. So right around now is the time when Hector kills the dude. Gus wants his revenge on Hector. He finds out that Hector has been hit for $250k and finds out who did it by being the evil freaking genius that he is. He may also find some redemption in the fact that Mike didn't kill the driver (I can't recall Gus ever killing anyone other than the Cartel when he/Jesse go down there so there may be some mutual respect arising from that).

Gus approaches Mike and hires him to go after Hector. However, Gus doesn't necessarily want Hector dead, he just wants him out of the way and/or to create chaos. This is probably harder to do than just take him out, so Mike has to practice, practice, practice on his shooting. Mike shoots Hector and puts him in a wheelchair.

Tuco starts running the family business Tuco style which creates a huge mess and a vacuum for Gus Fring to step into and take advantage of.

Season, Fin.

I'm going with Mike identifying Gus as having a role in the distribution chain. In BB, Gus is portrayed as too careful to take chances. But we see that he is willing to take chances under controlled circumstances - meeting in the desert with certain people in person. So my prediction is Mike spots Gus through the scope in the desert, does not pull the trigger on his target and initiates contact with Gus.
