BOARDWALK EMPIRE SEASON 3
AKA That Season Where Margaret Schroeder Is Now A Bootlegger AKA That Season Where Margaret Schroeder Has Sexual Tension With Everybody In The Room AKA The Best Thing You Will Ever Have In Your Eyeballs
#basically my idea for season 3 is that margaret has taken over the bootlegging business while nucky is spending a short stint in jail after making a deal with the prosecutor. jimmy and nucky have made their amends, and jimmy has entered the heroin dealing business with lucky and meyer, who have also made amends with rothstein. margaret and jimmy both work together to run this empire of sorts, and margaret enjoys being in charge of things other than a household. when nucky returns, he expects her to hand over her place, but she’s grown too comfortable and the rest of the season is a power play between them and the fact that she has to choose between this new power and the promise of financial security, as well as the growing tension between the atlantic city operation and george remus and waxey gordon, as well as the pressure put on chicago and new york to ally with them. awesome? probably. historical accurate? probably not. #also: she goes on early morning bootlegging runs and is back in time for breakfast with her kids, i mean how is that not kickass?
