Love the Owen and Margaret thing...he's a cutie and love the accent! Jillian is a B-word. Richard and his lady friend are sweet. Nucky seems to be up the creek without a paddle.

I was expecting Richard to have trouble with that other guy at the dance. I was so glad when he didn't and they had him be the one who could dance and teach her.

That was sweet! I hope he marries her and they raise Jimmy's little boy. I do feel sorry for Gillian but she's a wackadoo and needs to go. Wasn't that old guy...the one Nucky was a right hand man to...wasn't he Jimmy's dad...he died and was poisoned. Did they ever find out who did that? Why did Gillian tell the boy (she killed and claimed was Jimmy) that her ex husband was younger than her and he ran off?

I got all caught up (watched all of season 3). This Gyp is a scary dude. But so is Nucky and Agent Nelson and even Richard...they're all pretty scary. I love the look on Margaret's face when she is sitting by Nucky's side (I think it was the last episode...after the explosion and his head is all messed up) in his room when he has a meeting with the 2 other guys. She sees the real Nucky and looks like a 'doe in the headlights'.

The old guy (Jimmy's father) was poisoned, but he lived throgh that. After he recovered from the poison, he had a stroke watching Gillian prance around. He was the one who pulled Jimmy in with Ely and some others to go against Nucky. In the end, it was Jimmy who killed his father.

Gillian killed the kid that looked like Jimmy because she needed a body to declare Jimmy dead. Nucky killed Jimmy at a construction site. They never said, but I assume he is buried under the construction. For a long time, Gillian wouldn't accept that Jimmy was dead, but she needed money. Jimmy's father's estate was in Jimmy's name. Once Jimmy is declared dead, the estate passed to his son and Gillian is his guardian.

Not a lot going on with Al Capone recently.

The gangster who killed Angela was a German Jew, he owned a kosher butcher shop. He was running booze for/with Nucky.

I took Gillian's tale of her runaway younger husband as her twist on the situation with Jimmy. Of course Gillian is an incredibly twisted individual, so not much more to say about that.

I think Manny Horvitz was referred to as the Hungarian in conversations between Jimmy, Meyer Lansky & possibly Luciano in some of their deals.

Yes, she is another scary character...so is Nelson's new wife.

Maybe I'm twisted, but Nelson's wife makes me laugh. I think maybe because she's helped redeem his character for me. I couldn't get past his cold-blooded murder in season one at the revival/baptism at the river. Now his life is in shambles, he's completely out of his element & he's very well aware this wife is no shrinking violet, willing to sit home & accept everything that comes out of his mouth just because he says it. He's fully aware she's a great partner, yet at the same time he's never in greater peril as he is if he steps out of line with her. He's cowed by her brand of crazy & it cracks me up.

Yeah, that's what I thought she was doing too. The whole thing with that guy she killed was sick. When she decided to call him James, .

I hope Richard and his new girlfriend run off with the little boy and get him as far away from her as possible.

I didn't see that one coming! Sad.

They said there are only two more episodes left. Is that for the season or for the series? The next two episodes look intense!

[TB'sWidow]

I believe it's just for the season. I think it will be back next yr, at least I hope. I just wonder if Margaret will tell nucky she is pregnant with Owens child.

The whole episode, I thought it was going to happen, but I wasn't expecting it before the episode started. The way things were going on that episode, I just had this feeling and as soon as they said there was a package I was like "nooooo!".

I do like shows that aren't afraid of doing things like that with major characters. They need a new cute guy to replace him next season.

See I was expecting that Margaret & Owen would go away together an it would be nucky to get Owen out of revenge.

So, is Gillian dead or what? Was that an overdose she was trying to give Gyp and he used on her...so then she's dead, right? And I guess Margaret terminated her pregnancy...that was a bit of a shock. She loved Owen. Glad Gyp and Gillian are dead! Was sad that Harrow seems to think he's dead as he dropped off little Tommy and told the guy that all he wanted was for Tommy to be safe...he seems to not be under the delusion that the 3 of them could be a happy little family. I wish they could be. So now Chalky will get his club on the boardwalk.
