It was bad form for Nucky to **** where he eats in terms of his relationship with Billie but I just don't see how Margaret can even pretend some sort of holier than thou outrage.

She stole from her husband because SHE had a guilty conscience and gave the proceeds to the church. She's cheated on him with his top bodyguard. Most of what she gives him is bad attitude and snide comments. Everything she had comes from Nucky. Without him she would have been pumping out child after child and getting regularly beaten by a drunk, that is if she hadn't died in childbirth.

Nucky did some of that for his own selfish reasons of course but then again Margaret is under no illusions. I'm not saying that she should necessarily be GRATEFUL all the time but if I were Nucky I would have told her a long time ago "Look, sorry but this really isn't working out. I thought I could make you happy but instead you're depressing me. Take what you like but go!" rolleyes


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
