someone save me some research and remind me why Eli is pissed at Nucky? I remember on the finale where they killed Jimmy he was there and i thought all was good and now they are at it again? also why was he is jail?

Eli isn't pissed at Nucky, as far as I know.

Eli didn't think he was getting enough respect from Nucky last season, so he joined the Commodore and Jimmy.
When he tried to come back, Nucky rebuffed him.
So Eli freaked and tried to have Nucky killed.
Eventually, Nucky won the war; and he told Eli that he'd have to go down for killing Margaret's ex-husband, I believe.
2 year sentence, 1 year served.
So, Eli helped Nucky kill Jimmy, then took the rap for killing Hans Schroder.

At this point, Nucky and Eli should be square; but I imagine there's still some bad blood there.
Although, the way Owen continues to pull Eli back into the fold suggests to me that Nucky still wants him on the team.

He's definitely pissed at Nucky.

First he sends Mickey to pick him up and insults the hell out of him over it. Then he finds out he has to start at the bottom of the operation. His son resents him over his prison time that Nucky forced him into.

Obviously we see it as he got what he was asking for by trying to have Nucky killed. And you could even say they should be squared up at this point. But they're not.
