Tommy could have killed Nuckie whenever he wanted, why wait?

I think he was torn. I don't know. At times, Nucky was trying to take care of him, and was mesmerizing...murder isn't something a teenager in his position just commits to without hesitation. I don't even know if he wanted to murder him the whole time.

I think "this is the part where I leave you" or whatever nucky said just tugged at the right emotion...and he clipped him.

I guess I'm in the camp that believes she orchestrated the entire thing using Tommy on the outside.

I considered it, but I don't know that she did. I think tommy seeing nucky with his grandmother, having saved her from a horrible fate, would've gone far in the "not shooting nucky in the face" department

you don't realize it until you've seen it all, but even in the end, nucky is a fricking loathsome prick. Even though I was always rooting for him, in the end, I loved that Luciano forced him out (which was a given, and they really kind of laid that outcome out even further with the conversation between torrio and nucky) I was stunned afterwards, and I don't know why because nucky is such a piece of shite
