That's obviously part of it but not all of it. Nucky told Eli they were "square" (he takes the fall and Nucky forgives Eli for participating in the plot) at the warehouse but Nucky was still treating him second hand after the fact. That's where the current resentment comes from (and was operating on the assumption that the pre-jail issues was a given). I also still don't think Nucky realizes how crucial Eli was to that plot either. I think that still will come out.

With "the talk" last night, I fully expect Eli to be a major character again. I think his "let me earn it" last night was his way of trying to apologize.

I think Eli ends up taking over Mickey's role. Giggling bastard might get iced.

I loved the parallel of Capone's son being bullied and the bag man getting beat up. Capone said something to the effect of...."You like to pick on people who can't stand up for themselves" While he has beating that dudes head in. Capone definitely took out some of his fatherly frustration on that Irish guy.

Yep. For a moment I thought he was going after the dad of the bully who picked on his kid...a la Gotti, who "allegedly" had the neighbor who ran over his kid killed.

Exactly. He's always been a goof, but now has proved himself inept also. Remember when Eli warned him not to go and he said "I won't...THEY will." (referring to his workers.) Nucky will have him offed, or do it himself. He also disobeyed Nucky's orders to avoid Tabor Falls.
