New arrivals to camp this week bring odd sorts of confidantes to both Hearst and Swearengen, in the form of Hearst's longtime cook and maid "Aunt Lou" and Al's old friend Jack Langrishe (along with his troupe of actors). Hearst's tensions with other characters also increase as his meeting with Alma and Ellsworth becomes a disaster, Cy finds himself pulled back in to do his bidding, and Seth fails to put him "on notice."
