• Nucky (Steve Buscemi) chews out his butler
• Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) mentions “the childreeeen”
• Lucy (Paz de la Huerta) shows us her “de la Huerta”
• Jimmy (Michael Pitt) looks wistfully out a window or talks about “just passin’ through”
• Agent Van Alden (Michael Shannon) does something creepy (remember the ribbon?)

• Someone drives by the Hammonton: Blueberry Capital of the World sign
• Throw a party if Martin Scorsese returns to direct another episode!
