yeah I didnt like him at first but he is a good character. I think he sticks around for a while, he seems pretty swift.

I just finished the episode. Gyp is definitely an interesting character. I think the conversation with Jimmy's mother held some clues as to where his story will go. He is very fond of her and she tells him that Eli tried to kill Nucky. He then asks, "If you lose your own flesh and blood, what do you have?" She responds, "You don't have anything." Because of Nucky, she no longer has her son(the only flesh and blood she's ever cared about) and may turn to helping Gyp.

Gyp may also try to pry Eli into helping him get rid of Nucky. They make a point of the two meeting at the end of this episode and thus Gyp putting a face to the brother that tried to kill Nucky. They showed in the first episode that Eli's relationship with his family, espcially his son, is strained after returning home from jail. Eli was always big on spening time with his son but now that he's back, his son looks down on him. Eli could blame Nucky for forcing him to serve time and in the end losing his relationship with his family.
