I have a Boardwalk Empire question. (Spoilers)

[Ohio Dem]

What does Jimmy's mother think? Does she know he's dead? Does she simply suspect it? Or does she think he's still alive? I'm not real clear on that.

1. The impression I got is that she's out of her damn mind. n/t

2. I wish I could remember what happened in the last episode last season

Did Jimmy say he was going somewhere, maybe reinlist or something, that his mother wouldn't expect him back right away? I just don't remember. But yeah, it's weird that she doens't know where he is and nobody is saying anything.

3. She can't admit the truth

The house for the brothel is in Jimmy's name. If he's declared dead, his assets would go to his son.

Also - if you notice various interactions on BE - the cagiest players don't admit what they know or think about a lot of things b/c they don't want to give power to others - think of her conversation with Gyp about Nucky.

Gretchen Mol is doing a great job with that character. I should hate her with every bone in my body - and she does creep me out b/c of her relationship with Jimmy. Yet, at the same time, she's a very compelling whack job.

4. OK, This makes sense, and I think the same.

I think you're spot on. That makes sense to me.
