![]() ![]() "You fat, worthless fool!" she shouts before storming out. Annabelle stares at him as though she wants to set fire to him. There are a lot of historically important figures cropping up in this show. Later, at Margaret's house, the group are laughing and joking, except for Harry, who explodes, ranting that his "investment" with a guy named Charles Ponzi has ruined him. Even the assistant looks bored as she gestures in front of the sign that says, embarrassingly, "Houdini's Brother!" Apparently he's not even "almost as good" as his brother, as he's been trying to escape from a strait jacket for six and a half minutes. They are out on another double date with Harry and Annabelle, at Hardeen's show. "The wrong man is running this town," he says – will he act on this and try to turn Jimmy against Nucky? Does Jimmy's remark "It'll just be us boys" foreshadow this? "Deception requires complicity, however subconscious" Hardeenįor the time being Nucky and Margaret are playing happy couples, but not for long. He's actually being poisoned – by Gillian, it seems – and will now make a solid recovery. Bring it on! And the Commodore isn't really dying. It seems a conflict for next season in which Jimmy will face Nucky is being set up. Jimmy also learns that Nucky pimped out his mother to the Commodore when she was 13 and when Nucky was still an ambitious sheriff. It's not even that he is evil he's just empty. "That would make them stick their heads up." Richard is a total badass. He has no compunction about murdering them to get to the remaining D'Alessios. ![]() He's found some more D'Alessios to kill – a mother, some sisters, and a dentist brother. Richard goes to see Jimmy at the Commodore's house. "You have no concept of the ways that people can be close" The Commodore After last week's sinful escapades, the guilt-wracked Van Alden must be worried about the state of his soul. Lo and behold they stumble across a congregation by the river bank about to start baptismal services. He's driving through the woods with Van Alden, looking for the distillery that Nucky told Sebso about to distract Van Alden from his suspicious questioning about the shooting of the witness. You wouldn't want to be in Agent Sebso's shoes either. Vote or no vote, who'd want to be a woman in the 1920s? Then there's Harding's mistress, banished to Atlantic City, and Pearl, the prostitute who had her face slashed. Gillian is a showgirl, Margaret is now a concubine, Lucy, it seems is now a prostitute, and Angela is a single mother trapped in a loveless marriage. Only Van Alden has a wife but prefers to whore it up rather than be with the unfortunate Rose. Oddly enough, couples are rarely married, which is unusual for the time. In fact, all the women have a rough time, living off the charity of men. Who else thinks it probably won't end well for Angela? Jimmy doesn't explain his plans for her – his silent response is chilling – but he does tell their son: "A few years, you and your old pop, we'll be keeping all hours. Unfortunately, she doesn't return to her house in time to retrieve the note. Ah-ha! Finally, we know the identity of Jimmy's father: the Commodore.Īngela leaves a farewell note for Jimmy and departs for her new bohemian life in Paris with Mary Dietrich, only to discover that Mary and her husband have left town. But Jimmy's end of the conversation is monosyllabic or surly: "What do you want me to do about it?" But then he tells Angela that the call was from Gillian informing him that his father is dying. The tension is broken by the phone ringing. She replies that she's not sure if she was even thinking anything, code for "I'm thinking of running away to Paris with my girlfriend and your son". Jimmy asks what she's thinking, which is never wise. Jimmy and Angela sit in their kitchen in a state of armed neutrality. ![]() "I am what time and circumstance have made me." Jimmy Darmody After last week's business-focused episode, it's judgment week on Boardwalk Empire as we concentrate on personal relationships and how to end them, one way or another. ![]()
