Commodore boardwalk empire9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Nelson Van Alden’s had such an interesting character arc, and for him to meet his end like this, so unceremoniously and matter a fact, it doesn’t feel right. But before Mueller can do any significant damage, D’Angelo blows a hole through the side of his head. Mueller punches Capone and starts to choke him screaming like a madman that he is Nelson Van Alden, an FBI agent and he will not stop until Capone is brought to justice. He sticks the gun in Mueller’s face, but perhaps having had enough and with his life in the shitter, he snaps. He pulls out a pistol and accuses Mueller of being a FBI agent. But Eli was taken in as a favor to Nucky, so he’s not buying their “we came to steal” excuse. Two men who he took in under his fold have betrayed him. “This really hurts my feelings,” Capone says. What are they trying to pull? Before disturbing Al, Ralph decides to fetch D’Angelo-the very man playing both sides. What are they doing at night creeping around making a drop off that could wait till morning? It doesn’t take him long to discover the drop bag is full of cut up newspapers and not money. Eli’s disrespectful maneuver arouses Ralph’s suspicions. ![]() The improprietous faux pas is not the problem, but no one is supposed to go in the drop off room without permission. Too anxious to get the ruse in motion, they end up walking in on Ralph Capone ( Domenick Lombardozzi) having sex with a maid. George Mueller ( Michael Shannon) and Eli Thompson ( Shea Whigham) are about to go through with the plan that mobster/undercover FBI agent Mike D’Angelo ( Louis Cancelmi) has forced upon them, and make a fake drop and steal Capone’s ledger, so the FBI can indict the gangster for tax evasion. ![]() In Chicago, things are about to come to a head. Nucky’s going to be gunning for Johnny Torrio, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, the trio of which do not appear in this episode. had nothing to do with it, the answer is obviously yes. “We saddling up for a showdown or not?” Doyle asks. Nucky’s storyline begins with coming back to the club and discovering that Mickey Doyle, worried about his absence, has corralled all the troops. The father figure dynamic that once again raises its head in this episode underscores this notion. But regardless if it’s true or not, ‘Boardwalk’ has tipped their hand, and it seems far too obvious that he’s going to be responsible for Nucky’s demise. Fans have already speculated that he’s a grown-up Tommy Darmody-Gillian’s grandson who was adopted by Julia Sagorsky ( Wrenn Schmidt) and the late Richard Harrow ( Jack Huston) in season four. Knocked out cold, when Nucky comes to, he’s discovered by Joel Harper ( Travis Tope), the young boy hired by Mickey Doyle early in the season who just has too much of a resemblance to Jimmy Darmody. He hooks up with two women (one of them being Patrick Wilson’s wife Dagmara Domińczyk), defends their honor against a drunk and eventually gets double crossed when he tries to fuck them outside. Meanwhile in the present day, Nucky ducks into a local bar posing as a random salesman from Missouri just to get away from everyone and his pain. What is this show “ Gotham” all of a sudden? So, as the Deputy Sherrif, Nucky will take her in and therefore we learn he’s really responsible for Gillian’s current situatio. It’s all tying together a little too neatly. Nucky catches him, but he’s not a boy, it’s Gillian. Meanwhile, there’s a thieving boy in the neighborhood. Nucky stumbles upon something strange with The Commodore: little girls entering his office with mother’s crying outside? What’s going on he wonders, but of course we already from exposition in early seasons that The Commodore was a pedophile who raped and knocked up Gillian Darmody ( Gretchen Mol), who eventually gives birth to Jimmy Darmody ( Micheal Pitt, who Nucky kills). Worse, Nucky’s flashbacks are simply becoming a movie-like prequel, filling in the blanks to information we already know. ![]()
