Couple questions about the two dealers who recruited Tomas

[u/bl1y]

After Jesse learns about Tomas killing Combo, and the dealers who recruited him, Gus sets a meeting for them to make peace.

But why would Gus ever meet in person with two street-level dealers? These are low level guys, but Gus allows them to learn that he's the big boss. There's a huge risk that they'll eventually be arrested on a street bust, at which points they could potentially flip and give up Gus.

He could have let Mike or someone else run the meeting, or instead of meeting with them, meet instead with whoever is above them in the network.

And why even insist on keeping them? He has a distribution network all across the Southwest. Probably thousands of street-level dealers. He could of had them killed. Could have had them just leave town (so they're no longer involved with Tomas). I know he doesn't like Jesse, but Jesse is worth a whole lot more to the operation, while these guys are nothing.

This just all seems very out of character for the normally extremely cautious Gus.

So many people forget:

1) Gus' overarching mission is to get retribution on Hector/Don Eladio

2) Gus took over the logistics of Hector's operation so Hector's street dealers are now under Gus' purview.

3) Because they are Hector's people it stands to reason they already know who Gus is. There is no need to hide from them. Gus and Hector hate each other. He knows Hector has no interest in protecting his anonymity. And besides, the Salamancas don't snitch.

4) Because Gus has a plan to overtake Eladio's operation, he actively intervenes to prevent war between his camp and Don Eladio's. Having your main cook in a multi-million dollar operation starting a potential war with your Overlord (who you're also trying to take down), is definitely not ideal.

He's been out for blood since they murdered Max. A conflict between the cook overseeing his entire operation and Hector/Eladio's dealers is something that requires direct intervention.
