why did Limehouse tell Errol he had to leave after he ate the pig tongue


I dont remember what season/epi (binge watched.) I didnt understand what Errol did to make limehouse tell him he had to leave, knowing he had know where to go. He was faithful,..he even came back that night and was almost killed still trying to protect limehouse.

The episode with the pig tongue is the Season 3 finale. A few episodes before that, Limehouse caught Errol doing deals behind his back and feeding insider information to the "outsiders", because Errol thought he knew what was better for Noble's Holler. Limehouse felt betrayed, but told Errol something like "you are gonna fix this".

Those weren't the exact words, but after that, Errol was feeding phoney information to Dickie Bennet and Boyd's entourage in order to send Boyd to a trap. It didn't work exactly as planned, but Limehouse was satisfied, so he told Errol to get out of Noble's, instead of killing him. And of course, Errol came back and saved the day, so he really redeemed himself.

oh yes...now I remember. thanks! Something about how limehouse wasnt keeping up with the times. Makes sense, because they made it a point to show us he picked his hand being burnt to the bone as a one time, "we're even" card,..so he would have kinda had another mild screw up left to use.

When did Errol come back and save the day? I did not notice that.

After Limehouse kicked Errol out, he saw Quarles on the highway, and eventually Errol comes back, makes enough to distract Quarles and Limehouse chops Quarles' arm. Before that, Quarles was controlling both Raylan and Limehouse.

I've had pig tongue. It's not bad, but beef tongue is better, especially when (to paraphrase Miracle Max from the Princess Bride) the beef tongue is "nice and lean" with some mustard. It can smell up the air some when you cook it in a crock pot, but otherwise it's good stuff!
