I enjoyed this episode but it wasn't one of my favorites of the show.
This is the second time that I watch the episode, and I can say that both times I had the same opinion about it: I don't like much that two of the most likable characters died in this episode but I think it is necessary to the plot.
I think Nelson's death was fast and let you no time to process everything that's going on, but it was necessary because of his death, D'Angelo gets the ledger to incriminate Capone at least. And Chalky's death was sad but beautiful and a true tribute to his fans, he's death seems a lot like Richard's death and I like that.
Besides that, there aren't much to add to the plot, the flashbacks maybe with the introduction of a young Gillian, but I don't like Nucky's parts, they feel quite odd but I understand that he needed to recover himself after Sally's death and before the war that is to come.
+ Chalky was the best of the episode.
+ I enjoyed, once again, the little moments of Eli and Nelson.
+ Introduction of Gillian in the flashbacks.
+ The future war.
+ A tribute to the fans.
8.2/10

- No much to add to the plot.
- Nucky's scenes.
- Slow and quite asphyxiating.
