'I'm done with this sh*t,' Chalky says, warning Nucky to remember who leads the 10,000 African-Americans that keep the city going. Each side holds the other responsible for what happened.
Because Chalky injured a Klansman, Herman Dacus, when he returned fire, Nucky and his brother Eli go to see him. Chalky manages to survive but four of his team are not so lucky. Instead, Nucky peels off some money and tells him to be good.The Assault on Chalky'sChalky White's bootlegging operation comes to an unexpected halt when Klansmen open fire on his warehouse. Later, he tries to talk to Teddy and is caught off guard when the boy interprets his presence as a prelude to a beating. Nucky plays dumb when he hears about the boy's fascination with fire. When Margaret visits Teddy's Catholic school to talk to his teacher, she learns her son was caught playing with matches. Returning in time for breakfast, he finds Margaret struggling to discipline Teddy, who has been acting out in class. In the next three episodes, these will all reach a, likely, bloody crescendo, but it will be the quieter moments like the ones in "Marriage and Hunting," this time spent with the characters we have chosen to care about, that are the season's true lasting legacy.Written by Terence WinterDirected by Tim Van PattenPlaying With FireNow keeping house with Margaret Schroeder, Nucky Thompson is still out all hours of the night. Things are simmering with Rothstein and his debts, Narcisse getting in touch with Masseria (and continuing to piss Chalky and Nucky off), the heroin trade finding its way into Nucky's supply of booze, and of course Eli working for Knox to protect his family. When almost everything else is violent and unhappy on the show, Richard's ray of sunshine has been a very necessary component of what would otherwise be another very bleak season.Įlsewhere on the show though, things are stacking up for a final battle, just like Boardwalk does every year. Richard's story this year has been pretty soapy, and who can say they've minded when he turned his broken face to the sun, or told stories to Tommy, or made a joke at his shotgun wedding to Julia? He's always been a beautiful, tragic character who is actually getting - in a patchwork no one could have predicted - the family he dreamt of for so long. Her conviction of that truth and her own innocence played fairly well in court, despite her other antics, and it led to Julia asking Richard to marry her, which is one of the soapiest things the show has ever done. She has always been deeply delusional, but that particular bit of substitution was one of her most grotesque fantasies (though not as grotesque as her initiating sex with her own son, of course, or his doppelganger). It's the one she "knew," because she manufactured it. Gillian also provided her own narrative of the past to Roy, one that was truthful up until the description of Jimmy's death. "Hear me roar!" Who is there to contradict him? Melding the two stories together, just like Van Alden / Mueller, he took the best parts from both, threw money at his wife, and they had sex.
In the wake of O'Banion's slaying, he robbed the flower shop and stepped over the rotting corpses of those he did slay. He instead shot his old co-workers/attackers - at least one in the back - something he received no commendation or reward for.
Still, he did not prove his manliness / lack of cowardice by killing O'Banion for the ransom as he had promised the Capones.

Van Alden became Van Alden again this week - the death of O'Banion set him free from that alias. Though history provides the mile markers (the deaths of Frank Capone and Dean O'Banion, for example), what happens in between have been, for the most part, lovely character studies. Ever since Jimmy's death, Boardwalk has been searching for a new focus.
