" It&amp;#039;s a murky color, brown. Symbolic of the murky depths to which our characters are descending, maybe. But Jimmy is wearing it. Eli and Al and Lucky, too. And they are looking damn sharp \u2014 great studies all in the execution of a hue that is altogether challenging yet very much  of the moment. The new junior crime alliance meet for the first time and formulate a plan to execute Nucky Thompson. It is a decision that visibly horrifies Jimmy, but the importance of appearing decisive is clear. Whether he&amp;#039;s convincing or not, he&amp;#039;s beginning to look the part of a leader in his flinty grays and umbers. Also dressed somberly, Van Alden is watching his fragile world begin to revolt. Rose is beyond reach, Lucy is demanding the payment she&amp;#039;s owed, and Esther Randolph, the U.S. attorney appointed to Nucky&amp;#039;s case, rolls in and takes over his office without warning. Lucy brings Nucky into the mix, trying to force Van Alden&amp;#039;s stingy hand. Dashing in brown plaid, Nucky seizes the opportunity to trade for information on Esther&amp;#039;s investigation. The irony, and Van Alden&amp;#039;s humiliation, is palpable. Meanwhile, Margaret goes to Brooklyn to be reunited with her family, and there is some beautiful photography of the street life: diverse cultures engaging in life and commerce side-by-side, overshadowed by the chandeliers of laundry and fire escapes. The blue-collar costume has a spotlight on it \u2014 the ubiquitous recipe of cap, shirt, wool trousers, and braces that looks fresh and modern. Her meeting is tense; her brother Amon clearly harbors great resentment toward her for running away from their family in Ireland. He&amp;#039;s a striking figure \u2014 spare and austere, with the look of a rural minister about him, in a striped linen shirt with flinty waistcoat. The experience awakens something in Margaret, though \u2014 a memory of her former self, perhaps. Whatever it is, it opens the door to a passionate encounter with Owen, and an earthy side of Margaret we haven&amp;#039;t seen before.  Later, Nucky&amp;#039;s murder is thwarted, ironically enough, by the tail from the U.S. Prosecuter&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;office. All of which leaves him with a stigmata-like wound in his hand \u2014 a trifle considering the point-blank range of the attack. I admit, I was equally concerned for the safety of his breathtaking suit: mushroom brown, lavender strips, with a curious four button, turned-over suit cuff. High drama indeed, on the boardwalk.
