Things are starting to heat up on this season of Boardwalk Empire. As always, this recap is going to have lots and lots of spoilers so if you haven’t seen this episode yet, read no further. This episode of Boardwalk Empire had Nucky taking back control of his business as being away for so long for various reasons. First scene of importance is when Nucky is in his warehouse with his crew and tells them that the Tabor Heights route is completely off limits to his drivers, and tells them to use back roads instead to deliver the booze to Mr. Rothstein in NewYork.

Mickey Doyle questions this move and looks to Own for answers, which enrages Nucky because it’s his business. You see in his absence, Owen became the figurehead of Nucky’s organization because he is always the one carrying out and delivering his orders. Nucky then starts grilling Owen about Rowland Smith and whether he is dead or alive. When Owen replies that he is unsure of the boys status at the moment, Nucky decides to deal with the matter personally and off they go in search of the elusive Rowland Smith that was supposed to be killed a long time ago by Manny.

Elsewhere, Mrs. Thompson is preparing for the very first Women’s education class at the hospital while Al Capone is seen running things in Chicago with his crew. Al starts teasing one of his collectors that he smells and should start bathing and taking care of his personal hygiene a little better. But at home Al is shocked to find out that his son is the victim of bullying when a new kid comes to school and punches him in the cheek, causing him to stay home for the day.

Fast forward a bit and we see Mickey Doyle and Eli in Tabor Heights talking to the new sheriff of the town after the last one got burned alive by Gyp Rosetti. Mickey hands the officer a huge stack of bills to ensure safe passage through Tabor Heights and on to New-York, but Eli still doesn’t trust the new sheriff. This will lead to an epic show down later on and Mickey will wish that he listened to Eli Thompson and all his warnings.

The rest of the episode of Boardwalk Empire gets even more juicy, so I won’t spoil it all for you. Just make sure you check it out and let us know what you think down below.

The post Boardwalk Empire Season 3 Episode 4 “Blue Bell Boy” Recap appeared first on Entertain Train.

Two episodes into the new season of Boardwalk Empire and things are starting to take shape and give us insight into the drama that’s set to unfold this season. As always, spoilers will be all over this recap so if you do not wanna know what happens then you should stop reading right now…

This episode of Boardwalk Empire, titled “Spaghetti Coffee”, laid the groundwork for the things that are to come in this season. Violence wise there wasn’t any killing going on, but we did get to see a bit of blood. We’ll get into that a little later. The episode started with Nucky in NYC with his mistress Billie, who he’s been secretly having an affair with for what seems like quite some time. Nucky is in NYC to pay his protection money to the senator’s middleman, but while there he gets more than he bargained for. While lounging away in Billie’s apartment, he finds another man’s razor in her bathroom meaning he isn’t the only guy she’s seeing if you catch my drift.

Back home in Atlantic City Nucky’s brother Eli gets out of jail and is shocked to see that his brother sent Mickey Doyle to pick him up, at one point asking Mickey “How the fuck are you still alive?” Eli is more pissed to find out that he is now working for Mickey as a simple employee and not even one of the high ranking members. Eli gets home to see his family and is shocked to see his oldest son is now all grown up and taking care of the family by getting a job at the lumber yard, and they don’t share the bond that they once had.

Gyp Rosetti makes his move against Nucky by taking over the one gas station Nucky’s team would have to fill up at to deliver their goods to NYC to Arnold. This is both a smart and dangerous move because Gyp has one of the biggest suppliers of booze by the balls, which is practically an act of war. Although from what we saw in the first episode, Gyp isn’t the type of person to take disrespect lightly, so he’s probably prepared for whatever outcome.

Elsewhere we get to see Chalky White in this episode and he has his own set of issues. His daughter’s boyfriend tells Chalky that he is 2 years away from becoming a doctor and he would like to marry his daughter. He does a quick health check on Mr. White that impresses him so much that he agrees to allow the boy to marry his daughter. Once home Chalky sits down to talk to his daughter about it and she expresses that she does not wanna marry the boy because he is too plain and boring, and she would rather have an exciting man like her gangster father. This leads to a startling conclusion that I just won’t spoil for you.

Overall this was a fairly decent episode which lagged at times. But I think it set things up beautifully for the remainder of the season and I cant wait to see how things end up playing out.
