and his common-law wife, Angela, discuss their future. Angela wants Jimmy to return to his studies at Princeton, but Jimmy is convinced that his future lies with Nucky and his gang. Meanwhile, Nucky meets Margaret Schroeder, a pregnant member of the Temperance League. Nucky declines to employ her alcoholic husband, instead giving her a wad of money and having Jimmy drive her home. That night, Jimmy and Nucky visit Mickey Doyle's funeral parlor, a front for illicitly distilling alcohol. Jimmy strikes Mickey for tricking him into drinking formaldehyde, nearly compromising the operation. Scolded by Nucky, Jimmy demands a better job than working for Ryan and implies that the war has matured him. Nucky at first cajoles Jimmy, but ultimately challenges him to make his own opportunities. Nucky dines with four major mob figures: New York's Arnold Rothstein and Charles "Lucky" Luciano, and Chicago's "Big Jim" Colosimo and Johnny Torrio. Rothstein and Torrio are eager to buy alcohol from Nucky, but Colosimo declines as he considers it too risky.

Rothstein asks to defer payment until tomorrow. As Jimmy waits for Nucky outside, he befriends Torrio's ambitious bodyguard, Al Capone. The next day, Rothstein, a well-known card shark, takes Nucky's casino for over $90,000. Nucky is furious, realizing that Rothstein has no intention of paying him for the whiskey. As he leaves, Nucky spots Margaret's husband Hans gambling with the money he had given her earlier; the two men argue and Nucky beats Hans and has him thrown out. That night, the drunken Hans severely beats Margaret, causing her to miscarry. Jimmy, Capone, and an unknown accomplice plot to hijack Rothstein's shipment. The episode returns to the conclusion of the opening robbery, in a montage interspersed with scenes from a comedy routine performed by Eddie Cantor attended by Nucky and his mistress. Capone, startled by a deer, opens fire and he and Jimmy are forced to kill all four of Rothstein's men. At the same time, only three miles away, a team of federal agents raid Mickey's operation. With Eli's help, Nucky deduces that Jimmy had informed on Mickey the day before and therefore must also be involved in the robbery. When confronted, Jimmy admits that he counted on Nucky's forgiveness and again asks for
