The Pony

Maison Derriere. Gillian wakes Lucky up and tells him she needs the room back, as the roofers will be inspecting. He reminds her he's not paying for that, but she says she got a loan. She asks what he's even doing in Atlantic City, and he says he's got a meeting with Rothstein. "And Nucky Thompson?" she asks, then inquires as to where and when this meeting is taking place (tonight at Babbette's). Then, she lays into Lucky for belittling her business and breaking bread with her enemies. He's totally dismissive of her, offering her a "nice hard fuck" to set her right, but instead she kicks him out. And buys him out of the business, pulling the check from her girdle, like a lady with some flair. He wonders what he's going to do with a check, and she's all, "Stick it up your ass, for all I care." Or better yet, have Nucky do it for you." BURN! She throws his clothes out the window.

Margaret Shanghais Dr. Mason outside the hospital and says she has a delicate matter that needs discussing. Getting right to the point, she says she needs to obtain a diaphragm. He's surprised but not scandalized by the request. He confirms that this is what Mrs. Scherer came to talk about. Margaret then amends her request to two diaphragms: one for Mrs. Scherer and one for her.

At the Maison Derriere, Gillian is entertaining Gyp Rosetti and a flunky with the story of the day she gave birth to Jimmy. Don't you get the feeling she's told everybody in her life this story, at one time or another? She asks Rosetti if he has children, and he says yes, two girls. "Both of them pretty as their mother," his flunky says, drawing a stinkeye from Rosetti, because haha, remember how his wife and daughters are all trolls? Gillian says all she has left in this world is her grandson, and -- after she introduces her two guests to Richard Harrow -- she gets to what now appears to be the point. She "casually" wonders whether Rosetti knows of Babbette's supper club. He does, of course, having gone their with Nucky "before [their] falling out." "Have you had a falling out?" Gillian deadpans. She further informs Rosetti that Nucky will be dining there tonight with Arnold Rothstein. Rosetti takes this in but wonders why Gillian is telling him this. "I thought perhaps you'd like to surprise him," she says.
