Yep. That was definitely an "Oooops" moment.

Van Alden will definitely now be in Dion O'Bannion's debt (for helping to get rid of the Prohibition agent's body) and that isn't gonna fare well for Van Alden.

Another random thought: there were two incidents in last night's episode that kind of lightened up some characters:

1. When Gyp Rosetti was "yelling" at the newspaper boy about the news being yesterday's and then Gyp started laughing, letting everyone know it was a joke. That wouldn't have happened a few episodes back.

2. When Van Alden's boss asked him if he was planning on turning in the iron company to the feds (jokingly) and Nelson laughed. A few episodes back he (Van Alden) would have taken the question very seriously.

Another random thought: Margaret (Nucky's wife) got knocked down a peg (finally) when Nucky reminded her that he pays for her childrens' upbringing (after Margaret said she didn't want Nucky seeing her kids even if he was their stepfather.

Also, loved the scene in which Chalky and Dunn "leaned on" Eddie Cantor in the hotel room. Seeing Chalky sitting there with that serious face was hilarious. Gotta like him!!
