Nucky has turned the Temperance Queen Margaret into his concubine (and she liked it), the boys in Chicago worked out a territorial dispute amongst themselves (and Johnny Torrio liked it), Al Capone was put in his place in front of a crowd (and he didn't like it) and Agent Van Alden reveals a painful private moment (and he REALLY liked that).
I smell Emmys for this episode. If you're not watching Boardwalk Empire, you're missing out on some seriously good stuff.

I've watched every episode. I quess I'm not on the same page. I can't get into it like I did the Sopranos or Deadwood. I'm still watching it though, and your right, this episode has kept me watching another week. I just dont get the agent flogging himself though. Just because he's into pain, or punishing himself for not being there for his wife?
I knew Van Alden was compulsive and sadistic. But I never knew he was a masochist. He is seriously twisted.
I think they are still laying the groundwork for some epic episodes. We've gone from AC to New York and Chicago. Liquor, gambling, dope, whores, murder and a sadomasochistic Fed? This is going to be a massive gangster story.
We've only seen one character fleshed out with Van Alden. Give it some time, adjust to the starkness of the period like you did with Deadwood. This will be an epic series.
