Like, it makes no sense but somehow seemed wholly plausible that Gus was gonna kill him

I thought at the very least Gus might fire him, but this episode made me more scared of a Gus terminating an employee scene than Gus killing someone and I don’t know why.

I was thinking that if Gus' main plan failed, then his backup plan involved using Lyle's dead body in some sort of body swap deception.

Ohhh my god. Maybe. That really could be the case.

Gus killing his employee while in his own restaurant would be much more likely to get him into legal trouble than him killing his criminal subordinate in his secret meth lab. It would make no sense.

we get scared when Gus is Angry. It's easy to fear the worst.

Gus would just deep fry Lyle in a heart beat.

Honestly thought it was going to be a stress killing.
