[Spoiler] Evidence in nailed points to how Hector will be injured.
So we all know Hector has a stroke, or injury that causes stroke like symptoms. Obviously, Many are starting to guess that Mike will be the cause of his misfortune.
I think the last episode "Nailed" gave us a clue as to how.
If you re-watch the episode you can see Mike spying on the crew in the ice cream shop after the heist. What does Hector do? He's knocking stuff over. Yelling. Very animated. You then see him take pills form a prescription bottle for his agitation. He is out of breath and then heaving over the sink as he pushes his thug away. It's the last thing they show before they cut to the bar scene, lingering on it a bit.
The first time I saw the episode it didn't even register. The second time I guess it did in the back of my mind because it popped into my head while I was working out tonight.
Subtle. Very simple and unexpected but right in your face. We're all expecting Mike to snipe him in the back or something but....
I think Mike will indirectly/directly give Hector a heart attack over his loss in profits and drugs as this season ends and the next wears on. All the stress from Mikes meddling will cause him to lose his cool.
Not to mention that Mike is probably going to push even harder now that he knows an innocent was killed because of his actions. More heists. More pills. More stress. Pop goes the heart and a stroke ensues without any gunshots fired.
Hence the big wheelchair in Breaking Bad!
It could also be what brings Mike and Gus together. Gus finds out that Mike is the one behind all this mayhem.
I like this idea because it is indirect development, in that Mike doesn't have to see Hector again, while keeping himself in the shadows and preventing continuity issues. Also it's very "Breaking Bad" like for somebody to have a health breakdown, or a similar theme to Chucks health issues in BCS.
The question is, how long does Mike torture him and how much contact do they have?
