Confronting his deputy, Van Alden questions his loyalty and competence. Van Alden receives a call from Western Union - Eddie inquired about the missing telegram, but Jimmy's cables were all passed on to Agent Sebso. Although she tries to resist, Angela eventually succumbs to Jimmy's sexual advances. Angela is surprised to find Jimmy back - she never received a telegram either. When Mary opens a bottle of wine, she exchanges a kiss with Angela, and then Robert tries to draw Angela in, explaining, "Everyone in Paris is doing it." The moment is interrupted by Jimmy's sudden return Mary and Robert leave. Robert Dittrich assesses Angela's paintings and compares her work to Mary Cassatt, raising Angela's hopes that his art dealer friend will give her a professional evaluation. Nucky resists her arguments and tells her the topic is unsuitable for discussion before leaving in a huff. Margaret puts her kids to bed and broaches the topic of Madame Jeunet's financial woes with Nucky, trying to reason with him. To complete the deal, Rothstein has Doyle and the 'DAlessios sign large life insurance policies he's taken out on them to assure they won't chisel him. Rothstein proposes they import the best liquor from Europe and charge a premium price, but because the alcohol will come in through the port of Atlantic City, Nucky will need to go. Rothstein, Lucky and Lansky welcome Mickey Doyle and two of the 'DAlessio brothers to New York. "Politician to the last, eh?" notes Jimmy. Jimmy presses Nucky to state his murderous intentions out loud, but Nucky avoids the actual words. Nucky agrees and instructs Jimmy to take care of the 'DAlessios. Before officially accepting Nucky's offer, Jimmy gives two more conditions: his conversations with Nucky remain private, and Harrow joins him. Not having received Jimmy's telegram with his arrival information, Nucky is surprised by his appearance in his office. Although Margaret protests that she can't intervene, Jeunet reminds her, "You have power you do not suspect." When the two stop in at the Belle Femme dress shop, Madame Jeunet appeals to Margaret to approach Nucky on her behalf, since she can't afford the increase in payoff money that Nucky is demanding. "But America needs him and so I have to sacrifice," Nan says wistfully. Nan Britton tells Margaret that she fell in love with Warren Harding at first sight. In private with his brother, Nucky also expresses concern about what's being reported in the papers - they're alleging corruption in the sheriff's office - bad news during the election season. Recuperating at home, Eli scans the mug shots of the 'DAlessio brothers that Halloran has brought him and Ward Boss O'Neill to look at.
