Nurse Elkins' ether :wow: :demonic:

What was the big reveal though? Did I miss something? It seemed like a pretty straightforward episode.

Was the reveal Thack working in Nicaragua beforehand or something? It makes his character more likeable, but not really that big of a reveal in the grand scheme of things.

:damn:

I'm not sure Pops Robertson was the dirty one.....Henry still looking dodgy as fukk to me :patrice:

Barrow set that bytch on fire too....dude is heading for an epic fall

I kinda got that too, he did seem sincere when he was talking to Nellie about it and the fact that Henry showed up late :patrice:

Barrow definitely seems like the most likely culprit for the arson, especially with his ex wife showing up at the job demanding half :feedme:. Tried to get that lifetime plan, only for Barrow to be like bytch you get 5 years :comeon:.

Lucy delivering that ether to her father both literally and figuratively, while he had the :merchant:expression the whole time.

Gallinger has really rose to even more demonic levels. If he damaged Algernon's injured eye :damn:

The show does a great job in demonstrating the wonders of medicine, whether it is Thack working up a cure for small pox in Nicaragua or the conjoined twins taking their first steps without each other:ehh:

Hold up, so none of ya'll are seeing it was Henry who set up his dad and Cornelia by luring them to the top floor of the building he then set on fire? :why:

I mean, it would be more shocking to me if it turns out it isn't Henry behind all of this now. And it seems fake Nature Boy was actually on point last week.

Also when Cornelia was telling Henry about the plague outbreaks and their father's ships. The way the camera was fixated on his face gave the strong impression that he was really behind it :youngsabo:

What strengthened it for me was the ending with Robertson and Thackery, which solidified that The Knick was Robertson's baby. And that's an important detail because him and Cornelia talked about how he was still putting money into it when their family almost had no money left. So Henry, who has no emotional attachment to the Knick whatsoever, probably sees the Knick as nothing more than a place that bleeds his family fortune dry. Thus, motive.

That opening and closing scene. Indiana Coke putting in some work :wow:

So this was the annual Ether Episode. Some many Ls being given, dear lord :damn:

That heel turn by Henry :ohlawd:

Yeah, I immediately thought Henry was the one that killed his father and was doing the shady shyt. He's the one bleeding money, investing $$$ he doesn't have on the subway. He's been wanting to get out of the shipping business this season too, great timing by him :mjpls:

Did anyone else think that the mule Thak and Robertson were walking at the end of the flashback was loaded up with a shyt ton of Coke? :russ:


I thought the reveal might've been them showing us how he acquired his "habits" while in Nicaragua:manny:

Captain Robertson seemed like a good dude, for a capitalist. I think Henry and Barrow are working together.

Barrow is definitely in on it. As soon as that guy told him the only way to keep skimming was to "turn back the clock" and start the building from scratch, I knew what that slimy shyt was about.
