As teja said in her post, it doesn't even matter if what we are thinking is going on turns out to be wrong, but we should think we know what is going on, and at this point we simply don't.
My completely unfounded instinctive opinion: Eli is playing both Vance and Ziva (and possibly trying to play Gibbs), Vance is trying to play Eli, Gibbs, and Ziva by proxy (and will ultimately fail), and Ziva is pretty much the victim (which I hate on principle, but that is another debate).
