Jimmy, back from Chicago, rudely interrupts another bedroom encounter between Luciano and his mother, with her full knowledge. Lucky Luciano and Gillian are already having a passionate affair when he learns from Arnold Rothstein that she is Darmody’s mother. With no money coming in from Jimmy, Gillian tells Angela she needs to get a job, suggesting selling perform or learning stenography. She offers to take Tommy off Angela’s hands so she can be free, reminding her that she and Jimmy are not married. After describing doing the same thing to Jimmy when he was a boy, Gillian talks of raising her son with help from her showgirl friends. There’s more evidence of Gillian’s unorthodox nature when Tommy’s mother, Angela, learns that Gillian has put her son to sleep by adding some whiskey to his milk. She instructs him to wait until her last show is over. Luciano says she knows what he wants and she says she only knows what she wants. Spying him in the audience, she later tells Luciano she knows he’s following her and asks him what he wants. He follows her to work later and is entranced by her performance at Beaux Art. In Anastasia, while babysitting her grandson Tommy, the dark and dangerous Lucky Luciano knocks on the door looking for “James.” Gillian confirms that she is Mrs Darmody but rejects his contention that he is a friend since he did not ask for “Jimmy.” Gillian is flippant and Luciano says she has a “fresh mouth for a broad.” Far from showing any fear, she mocks him and shuts the door. Later, Nucky orders Jimmy to go to Chicago. Gillian prevails upon Nucky to keep his promise that he would take care of Jimmy but Nucky says he’s not God. In Broadway Limited, fortune teller Lady Jean is filling Gillian in on the dark and dangerous man in her future when Nucky shows up. Later Jimmy steals the necklace back because he owes Nucky Thompson money. She had to sell it to keep a roof over their heads and he promised to replace it. She tells the other girls that it’s like a necklace that Jimmy’s father gave her. She is Jimmy’s mother and he has brought her a necklace.
