Personally, I felt that this might have been one of the worst episodes of this series. Margaret just seems to be rehashing her story from last season now. Jimmy's mom and Harrow are currently in the midst of two completely irrelevant side stories that seem to serve little purpose other than to include them in the show and two of the more interesting stories (Gyp and Capone) were completely untouched. Which basically leaves us with Nucky, whose arc is starting to take form, but at an incredibly slow pace, and if it just ends up building into another season of legal trouble for him, then I'd have to say that I am pretty unimpressed.
I'm sure that there are those who will say that I am just complaining because there weren't any shoot-outs in last night's episode, but that's honestly not the case. I just felt like there is very little in the way of compelling storyline and it leaves me concerned that the writers have already run out of ideas, as they have begun to repeat themselves. Really starting to wish that they didn't kill Jimmy off last season.
