2x12: To The Lost recap: A beautiful day, birds are chirping. Two masked men drive a pickup truck down a nice wooded road. They slow as they approach a Klu Klux Klan convoy stopped at the end of the road. Jimmy’s hair pokes out of his mask, waving as the wind blows through it. He steps out of the truck, holds his gun behind his leg and walks up to the men loading and unloading. Jimmy shows his gun and continues to approach the group of men. A man in a full robe and hood asks Jimmy what he is doing. Jimmy immediately shoots the man in his head. He then demands them to give up the men that had killed Chalky’s men. Nobody says anything, Richard standing next to Jimmy, pulls the trigger of his shotgun shooting another hooded man, blowing his stomach to bits. A man in a hat; tells Jimmy the names of 2 of the men.

Knocking the man to the ground... read more.

They are driven to one of Nucky’s warehouses and from there to the people waiting for their Whiskey deliveries.

He tries some and then buys some. Expecting Nucky to stop the strike before the tourist season is over making it worth the purchase.

2x8: Two Boats and a Lifeguard recap: A red elevator, a whistling elevator boy. “Some fight huh?” Nucky, confused a little bit; “That fight hasn’t happened yet.” The elevator door opens on a parlor full of people all looking at Nucky as he walks off of the elevator towards them. The elevator quietly closes behind him and sounds of screaming children and cars driving on highways echo in the background. A baseball glove sits on a chair, Nucky just walks through. No words spoken. He walks into his office, there is a boy sitting at his desk. The boy puts his right hand up. It had been shot through blood running down, trickling down the boy’s forearm. Nucky looks at him confidently and says “Daddy eats first.” A distinct wailing comes from Nucky’s feet. A deer dying in front of him, struggling. A shotgun is then cocked. Nucky looks up to see the boy holding the shotgun and pointing it at him. The boy pulls the trigger and Nucky is at home getting his hand bandaged up. Nucky “snaps” back into reality and the doctor asks him if he is ok? Nucky apologizes and says “yeah, been having trouble sleeping.” Nucky then asks the doctor about the Commodore. He refuses and Nucky threatens him. Reminding him about the Medicinal Liquor license that Nucky had gotten him. Margaret then walks in the room and asks Carl to check on Emily.
