I think the kid is supposed to be a young Jimmy. At least it resembles him some.

The dream seemed partially prophetic at least with the bacon frying.

Alright so I rewound and watched Nucky's dream.

The phone ringing endlessly is obviously him trying to reach Billie. Then the operator says, "The only thing to worry about is when you run out of company". Seems to be a nod to loosing either friends or family either by driving them off or killing them. A man with no friends is pretty lonely.

He's then holding the bacon (which we see later in the episode). That's at least semi prophetic with its appearance later on.

He freaks out about killing little Jimmy when the bacon turns into a smoking gun in his hand and young Jimmy is shot on the floor (same kid he keeps seeing throughout the episode).

He then wakes up. Pretty interesting.

Also some foreshadowing with the bacon frying and that sheriff getting burned at the end.

Gyp is a complete psychopath and needs to be dealt with real soon. Nooky should hire Harrow to take him out.

Oh and 63 kills......

Hah, I was wondering what "Bone for Tuna" meant. Good stuff. And I'm kinda impressed how Margaret totally played that douche doctor.


The phonics title was awesome.

Margaret is still a manipulative count.

I hate any scene Margaret is in! She's terrible!

Solid episode!

Does Van Aldean have 2 kids now? I saw 2 cribs.

I like Gyp more and more. Harrow is a badass but I wonder what the point of him dragging Mickey into nuckys office?

Nucky looking very human, and also looking like his murder of Jimmy might be creeping in on his conscience. He is also sooo pussywhipped. What was the significance of harrow going to nucky? Is he going to start working for him?

That's an old clip. Not a new shot.

Yeah, that's from the pilot.
When Jimmy got passed over as a ward boss for another guy, I think.

No doubt. I was stuck finishing a book before checking in. No doubt was Ben "the Heroin" boy him. The "God Father of Vegas", has made is appearance. Good call Belle.

Not at all.

The women on this show just don't represent well. Gimmie my girls from Game of Thrones or Mad Men over some of these broads any day.

My guess is he wanted the person that mattered to know it was him that killed Manny and why he did it. And we know Nucky would be one of a handful of people who wouldn't turn him in. Maybe he also wanted him to know he knew about Jimmy but was no threat?
