A war is brewing in Atlantic City, and in tonight’s episode of “Boardwalk Empire,” Nucky takes actions to preserve his way of life. He commences the episode in Chicago, just where he’s attending the Republican Nationwide Conference of 1920. Suitable after bribing his way to the Presidential suite at the hotel he’s staying at, he runs into Senator Edge, a.k.a. the politician who scammed him from his roads dollars. Edge asks Nucky to visit Harry Daugherty, the marketing campaign supervisor for Warren G. Harding, on his behalf, just because Edge is enthusiastic about being the Republican VP candidate - just not so a great deal that he’d quit a romantic tryst with some floozy.
Getting Nucky take his assembly for him is a poor transfer on Edge’s part. Nucky, nonetheless indignant at being screwed around, assesses both Daugherty and Harding like a Presidential candidate, and realizes that Harding - though an “imbecile” political puppet who cannot keep it in his pants - has what it takes to obtain to the White House (which pointless to say he does… and ends up being the worst U.S. president, ever). He promises Daugherty he’ll throw the Jersey delegation behind Harding if 1) Edge doesn’t get the VP slot and 2) he’ll be permitted to help with Harding’s lady concern. Being a softie for babies (turns out, he was once a father of a young boy that died), he solves the latter by volunteering to home 1 of Harding’s mistresses and bastard son with Margaret until suitable after the election. That's why Watching Boardwalk Empire is Good for your soul.
Nucky isn’t able to enjoy his machinations in individual, nonetheless, due to the reality he learns that his brother Eli continues to be shot while producing a money pick-up at a casino. Recognizing that he and his brother are now at war, Nucky uses the chance of being in Chicago to fulfill with Jimmy, and begrudgingly provides him money to return to Atlantic Metropolis and help him beef up his operations. Jimmy, of course, is doubtful, and while considering Nucky’s give, calls up his mother to ask her about Fortunate Luciano as a substitute.
Nucky also flags Jimmy in direction of the fact that the money he’s been sending home to Angela - still unrealistically contemplating she’s going to make it as an artist - and his son is not obtaining to them. Turns out, Agent Van Alden continues to be hording his letters. And just every time you feel Van Alden might crack and use the money to help his barren spouse, who’s desperate to have a medical operation to support her get pregnant, the Fed sends all of the dollars again to Angela.
Elsewhere inside the BE world, Rothstein prepares his legal testimony denying he fixed the Globe Collection, Lucy attempts maintain purchasing clothes at Madade Jeunet’s in spite of not having Nucky’s credit line open in the save, and Margaret (additionally to slapping Lucy) is instructed by Nucky to safeguard his accounting books so lengthy as Eli is from pocket and he’s in Chicago. Although she tries to not look, her curiosity gets the far increased of her and she sneaks a peek in the numbers behind Nucky’s operation. Although I doubt she’s on her process to being Nucky’s consigliere, knowing a little about his enterprise dealings undoubtedly gives her sufficient leverage as not to be cast out like Lucy was.
