Wow! I didn't even notice that! :O Sharp eyes! So that's pretty good proof for us, the viewers, that Gus was using Madrigal as his source for stuff he couldn't otherwise get. But what is an "Electromotoren" doing aiding Gus Fring's drug empire? And why did Peter Schuler kill himself rather than answer questions? He clearly knew Gus Fring. But how? :O

Everybody has a reason to get the meth moving again, but Walt doesn't seem to want to think about ulterior motives. He still seems to think if he just talks and talks he'll be believed. (He even says as much in one episode, that if he could just find "the right words", as if he were looking for a key to unlock a door.)

Mike is my favourite character, has been since he was introduced.
It's interesting to me how Walt himself seems like less of the focus in the past two episodes.

She's played by Laura Fraser, not Trine Christensen. :) I think Trine Christensen was the guy in the opening's assistant.

The AMC episode page says this in the episode details:

"Mike meets Lydia, one of the Madrigal executives, at a diner. She hands him a list of eleven men who were on Gus's payroll and suggests Mike kill them before they can implicate either of them. Mike shoots down the idea, vouching for his men."

And then in the Credits:

Guest stars:
Secretary - Trine Cristensen
Lydia - Laura Fraser

But definitely good catch - I didn't see her in that scene at all...
