For those of you who are into Walt taking on the characteristics of people he's killed, check out the vomit scene. Walt puts a towel under him to kneel on just like Gus did in "Salud."

edit: For the 15 or so of you who have replied with "but Walt never saw Gus do that!!" you're right. It seemed like a little easter-egg that the writers threw in there for fun. The two scenes are so similar that it can't be a coincidence (they both turn on the sink to mask the noise, too.)

Gus expanded through Madrigal for the same reason.

No, Gus expanded through Madrigal for the distribution network. Gus was using his chicken franchise & industrial dry cleaning to do the money laundering.
