Tonight on HBO is an all new episode of BOARDWALK EMPIRE called “Ging Gang Goolie.” Can you believe tonight marks the half way point of season 3 already? On tonight’s after being detained in Washington by Daugherty’s henchmen, Nucky approaches Esther Randolph (Julianne Nicholson), his onetime nemesis, and later entertains an intriguing proposition from Gaston Means. If you missed last week’s episode five called “ou’d Be Surprised”, we have a full and detailed recap here for you!
On last week’s show after tearing a strip off Nucky about his liquor problems, Rothstein sent Gyp an unequivocal message in Tabor Heights. In Washington, Gaston Means saw and opportunity in a Senate investigation of Harry Daugherty and the Justice Department. Billie gots a new co-star to revive her faltering show; Van Alden and Sigrid received an unexpected visitor; Gillian worried about keeping her business afloat in Jimmy’s absence; Margaret had awkward moments at the hospital and, later, at Madam Jeunet’s.
On tonight’s show it looks like many threats are closing in. Margaret Schroeder is at home with her children and her son Teddy tells her he was looking for the man, “He was here!” It seems someone was at Margaret’s house, as we see Owen looking around, what happen to the guards Nucky was suppose to post? Later Margaret is sitting down with Owen and she asks him if it was Gyp Rossetti. Remember on last week’s show Arnold Rothstein sent a clear message to Gyp when they sent Benjamin to kill him.
Of course Gyp probably thinks that it was Nucky who arranged the hit, and Gyp is crazy at the best of times so…… It looks like everyone is looking for Gyp – Eli goes to the diner in Tabor Heights and tells them if they see one hair on his greasy head, they call him. Gillian feuds with Lucky and finds a surrogate for Jimmy. Richard connects with a pugilistic vet named Paul Sagorsky and his daughter, Julia.
Tonight’s episode is going to be another action packed one, which you won’t want to miss.
