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.

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

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.
