Greetings, Gasmii! We’re heading into the homestretch, and Thanksgiving, so Boardwalk Empire decided to move these plots along and start tying some strings up for us.

First, the good. Richard and Julia are spending quality time, alone and with Tommy, which doesn’t sit well with Paul. But he’s a stumbling old drunk so Richard subdues him pretty easily but still takes a moment to remind the old man who really is boss and has a very scary moment in the process. Despite her protestations, Julia is not ungrateful.

Meanwhile over at the Ritz, Margaret’s giddy as a schoolgirl, or as giddy as a dour Irish woman with a secret can be, because she keeps forgetting that her actions have consequences and she and Owen share a moment planning their future. Then she’s practically skipping through the street as she goes to the hospital where they tie up her whole “Our Bodies Ourselves” storyline because she got her diaphragm so screw the rest of the women in AC. Mason tries to convince her to keep up their work, but he’s never really met Margaret, has he?

Also, Mickey.

Then the bad. Means and Nucky realize that arresting Remus leaves Jess Smith twisting in the wind and he’s just a little too cray cray to handle it. Means heads down to pull some 12th level mindfuck jujitsu on both Smith and Daugherty eventually convincing Daugherty that Jess needs to be taken care of.

Nucky sends his old Coast Guard bribing buddy McCoy from Season 2 to get some intel about Gyp Rosetti to plot his attack. Unfortunately for Nucky, Charlie and Meyer are sharing their intel about Nucky’s plot with Masseria so he’ll go all in on their heroin trade while Owen’s dispatched with Sawicki to take care of Masseria.

Out in Chicago, Nelson’s trying to hustle aquavit for a buck, since he’s still paying off his debt to O’Banion and thinks he’s found a sweet little gig with a Norwegian restaurateur, but finds himself face-to-face-to-fork with Capone instead.  And as I’ve noted before, when he’s not Hulking out, for a big guy Nelson’s pretty easy to push around.

Also, Gyp meets Tonino’s cousin Franco who knows something Gyp doesn’t but doesn’t know Gyp well enough to know he shouldn’t say anything.

Finally, the ugly. And, well, we all saw most of what happened coming, didn’t we? And Gyp finds a brand new way to be an awful, awful human being.

Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

    They didn’t have the pull and pray method in the 1920s?

    The way to get pregnant hasn’t changed all that much.

    And Margret is preggers in real life. Or at least I think she is. You could see the bump this episode. I was wondering why were dresses were alot looser in the past few episode.

    They tricked me the same way on Beverly Hills 90210. Once I was old enough to realize why Kelly’s clothes were looser and she would “go away” for a while.

    Don’t think it’s that Margaret didn’t care about continuing the education programs outside the hospital, it’s just that she already knew she was planning to skip town soon so she didn’t want to commit to anything with the good doctor.

    Yeah, I figured that but the way they just wrote away an actual, good, storyline about a woman actually pursuing something beyond a man and striking up a non-sexual friendship with a man based upon a common interest by making it all about her getting a diaphragm might still have me pissed off.

    What about Marge and her bottle of Lysol??? Lordy– I remember that from prior seasons and am still shuddering. We called the pregnancy tho. She was giddy and calculated–what we love about her. Nice little back and forth with Dr. Mason tho–they could make a good team–which may come next season–maybe she will consult him about an abortion.

    I am loving Richard and his new hat–said it out loud and Mr Cawfee walked in like what????
    Cannot wait for the full recap and to watch this eipsode a few times–I know to turn away from Gyp and the beach.

    Loving Richard’s love!!

    I’m so over this Gyp character…he keeps living up to my fears and its nerve racking. I shouldn’t be surprised but I keep hoping he’ll be unpredictable…argh!

    Not gonna lie but the way they handled the inevitable made me feel gut-punched. I expected it, thought I didn’t care and yet I might have still gotten a little teary-eyed.

    Thats right !!! Where is Palindrome Prohie???????? Did he flip???

    And did Margaret or lets call her Pregnant Peg—intend to take Teddy and Emily with her when she and Owen planned to leave?? I am sure Owen was going to marry Katie to make himself look innocent. But did PP ever say that had to bring the children, or what the children would want????

    Cannot wait to watch a few episodes for a good catch up!!!!!

    ok–heehee cap code is—-run amok

    And last comment/question–this just occurred to me—Does anyone think that the final scene-Peg’s convo with Owen when she reveals her pregnancy–was her imagination?????

    Cawfee…that’s what I thought. It wasn’t the continuation we didn’t see it was her dreaming of what she wanted to tell him.

    I don’t think PP was dreaming the convo w/ Owen. I think the writers showed it after his death to really show the desperateness of her situation as well as her extremely sad reaction. Also, Mickey interrupted their conversation to tell Owen that Nucky was looking for him, and we know that actually happened b/c Owen died doing what Nuicky told him to do during said meeting.
