And yes, it was hilarious. I loved Van Alden's grin at everyone watching from behind the glass too. He loved it. I have a feeling he is going to be a badass character really soon. I never expected in season 1 that he would become one of my favorite and most interesting characters.

I am glad the showgirl mistress is gone.
Now it will be interesting to see if Nucky wants to reconcile with Margaret and finds out about the affair and her possible abortion.

I LOVED Van Alden in this episode. Michael Shannon's acting was top notch. I especially liked when he was telling his wife about the incident at work. The acting he did with his eyes alone in that scene was amazing.
I was never a fan of Billie's. She annoyed me for some reason, so I'm glad she's gone.
I loved Richard's line "Jimmy deserved better." If he doesn't go over to Nucky's side I don't see much use or potential for the character. They have to give him something to do.
Perhaps Nucky will bring in Richard after Owen is eliminated. I was really hoping that Owen would become a badass enforcer type but he's been pretty tame thus far. Hopefully he doesn't just move back home like Furio from the Soprano's did after falling for the boss's wife.

I don't think it was an abortion she was after - I think she wanted a diaphragm so she could bang Owen. Nucky has not been banging her, so what excuse is she going to give Nucky if she gets pregnant.

The buildup with Van Alden was amazing. I knew it was coming but it was a ton of fun to watch him go full fucking Frankenstein's monster.

She was a real downgrade from Paz de la Huerta although they ruined her by making her pregnant.

That was the point of her character, a ditzy showgirl. She was incredibly hot naked, something this show has been lacking severely as of late. Once she got pregnant, no more nakedness, is what I meant.
