Storyline

At a birthday party for Mayor Bader, Nucky's attorney has a legal brainstorm that could turn the tide in Nuck's election-rigging case. Facing a local liquor surplus, Jimmy and Mickey head to Philadelphia in search of buyers, while Nucky strikes an unlikely deal to get booze into Atlantic City. Eli frets over the Commodore's ability to lead; Margaret doles out staff bonuses; Chalky is cornered at work and at home; Owen puts his munitions expertise to work; Van Alden's agents target Mickey's warehouse; Richard lets down his guard in the name of art; Gillian recalls her "first time" with the Commodore.

User Reviews

The Least Enjoyable Episode of season 2..so far

This episode was rather slow paced in my opinion,Although Many characters were given some small camera time to let their character breathe a little eg (richard the soldier and Owen the Irishman )Im getting quite disappointed that Jimmy D. (my fav.character)is getting less camera time then say...nucky' house maids.. What has interested me about this episode though is observing the inner destruction of Agent van Alden' character (no spoilers).. ALL in all a quite Forgettable episode, and in terms of "action packed" its nothing like season 2 episode 2" Ourselves Alone".. I do hope the upcoming episode gives the fans something more say for example (Owen the Irishman going into action or Al Capone (Stephen Graham) getting more dialogue)
