it seems like there is something that Nucky conceded something to get AR to deal with it. We didn't hear the end of the conversation between them.

Anyways, this episode was a pretty amazing mid season climax. So many amazing scenes. Nucky is really becoming a full fledged tyrant, and the resulting scene with Chalky and his man intimidating the vaudeville guy was a really cool result.

I really think this is a glowing example of why this is a top tier show-- they leave our favorite side character out of the past two episodes, yet he isn't even missed.
