Take Me to the River

Nucky returns to Margaret's apartment to find only Richard Harrow there. He explains that he showed up last night, but she sent him away. And then when he came today, he saw Margaret and the kids had packed their belongings and subsequently left. Nucky spots an emerald bracelet he gave Margaret, lying on the table.

Well, from one woman who did get out now to another who didn't, as Angela Darmody sneaks home. She sets her suitcase down and tells Tommy it's time for bed, but when she goes to retrieve the note she left on the bed, she finds it gone. "BOO!" Jimmy yells from behind. Oh, he's only playing with Tommy! It's not like he's shown a history of instability or violence! Angela awkwardly asks him about his father (turns out he'll live), and Jimmy's like, "I know what you've been up to," but this is yet ANOTHER fake-out where he's talking to Tommy. I'm not sure how he's going to twist "You've been having an affair with that photographer's wife" into cute banter with Tommy, but I eagerly await it! For now, Jimmy makes ominous talk to his son about how "In a few years, we're going to be keeping up all hours, it'll be just us boys." He then leaves the room with Angela in it, and she starts to cry.

So one more episode to go. Who's going to bite it in the season finale? I guess Nucky's curious, because he pays a visit to the fortune-teller down on the Boardwalk. For Nucky, my guess is that crystal ball has a big floating image of Lucy's boobs in it right now.

Joe R spent hours trying to come up with a proper "Arsenic and Old Lace" pun for the recap title, in honor of the Commodore. He failed. He can be reached for lavish praise and nothing but at joseph.reid21@gmail.com, and you can listen to him yammer on to his heart's content on the Extra Hot Great podcast.
