Good points. I think Merlino has become more smarter, and will not spend that much time in Philly for a while as to not bring unwanted heat on the family. After his restrictions are up, he can do anything he wants, but I do not think he will endanger the family. LE will still be after him, so I think he will visit the city when he has to, then in a few years he will move back to philly when he thinks there is not that much heat on the family. This is my speculation on this.
