So I still don't quite understand Juan Bolsa or Don Eladio's roles

Even after mid-rewatch - I mean their jobs and position in the cartel arcs. Can someone dumb it down/ELI5?

Like I get it there's team Gus and team Salamanca, and Bolsa basically... calls the shots and oversees both? And why did Gus sell him out in BB?

Also don't quite understand Eladio's role here, he also calls the shots on something hence the title, but what exactly is his role here?

I understand that the Chicanery thing was just a bar hearing for Jimmy's status as a lawyer, and not a trial for a felony charge (like he had earlier for the B&E).

He did technically sell the story that he "lied to make Chuck feel better", but was there ever a ruling as to whether the court actually bought that or not?

My understanding was that the suspension and the reason he was there to begin with was for the breaking and entering meltdown, not the Mesa Verde stunt. Did the latter just get thrown out and forgotten about after Chuck's rant?

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember any direct mention of it in the last few episodes when Walt and Jesse become relevant.

All the cartel arcs at first by default I assumed they were handling meth, but I think it was actually cocaine, no?

Though with Gus it would be more directly relevant, but even in all of Season 4 where they were building the lab, I can't recall at any point the script outright saying what it is.

I mean like how S1 has everything ending in O (except Alpine Shepherd Boy, but I know the story behind that), S2 has the "FRINGSBACK", and S6 has the "X and Y" trend for the first half.

Are there any in the others?
