Both are intermediaries between two criminal factions; Bolsa being one between Gus and the Juárez Cartel, and Johnny being one between the Lupertazzi family based in New York and the Tony Soprano-led [=DiMeo=] family based in New Jersey.

Added DiffLines:

* ThroughHisStomach: Just like his previous attempts at placating Skyler with breakfast and pizza, Walt tries this again twice:
**When Jr. sees that Walt has moved back, Walt offers to make a grilled cheese sandwich lunch for all three of them. Skyler tries to shoot it down by having her and Walt discuss the divorce first, only for Jr. to insist on eating.
**After laying out his justification for becoming a meth cook and showing the money with Skyler only giving a DeathGlare, she returns home in the evening to find Louis staying for a pot roast, salad, and iced tea dinner made by Walt.

Hector rings his bell in furious protest as Gus and Bolsa continue to talk in private. Bolsa warns Gus that he should conclude his business with Walt as quickly as he can if he wishes to remain on good terms with the cartel.

** Gus meets with Juan Bolsa and Don Salamanca in this episode, and Bolsa briefs him on both Hector and Tuco's roles in the cartel. Given that later episodes will flesh out in more detail about Gus and Hector's long history together as rivals both vying for the cartel's attention, it seems superfluous for Bolsa to be explaining any of this to Gus. Additionally, Bolsa implies that Tuco took over the family business right after Hector became incapacitated; ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' would show that Tuco was in prison at the time, with Nacho Varga and then Lalo Salamanca taking over the business after Hector's stroke. Tuco himself would not get involved with the family business again until [[spoiler:after both Nacho and Lalo are dead, with him being released from prison shortly after.]]

That night, Skyler returns home to Walt cooking for Junior and his friend, Louis, who Walt invited over for dinner. Walt notes to a silent how relieved he is about their talk that morning, noting that honesty does indeed seem to be the best policy. And speaking of, he is eager to hear what Skyler had to say about what they discussed that morning. Skyler's response is only three words, but those words made her feelings very clear, and shake Walter to his very core...
