I have a feeling Elliot's drug use is going to come back into play sometime before the end of the season. IIRC he was using morphone/heroin but keeping himself (or thinking he was keeping himself) more stable with suboxone. We saw his increasingly erratic behavior pointed out by multiple people recently (Angela, Darlene, his boss) - it's not uncommon for addicts to completely lose control of their habit, and as a result, their grasp on how it's affecting their life. I've never been much into drugs but I've seen friends spiral out of control and it's not exactly predictable.
