I don't think so. He called her Margaret, which is her name. It was just a big deal because he had always called her "Mrs. Schroeder" before. It was a signal that he was dropping the formality and ready to make their relationship more personal.

I don't really know where Jimmy's mom is coming from with wanting to raise the son. That came out of nowhere for me. I don't have her figured out at all yet. I know she's smart and goes for what she wants, but I can't figure out what she wants or why. I definitely find her hot though.

Add to that the way she behaved at that party and her stealing that slip (obviously so Nucky could see it before he smashed, after devouring her irresistible baked goods). She likes the spotlight and envies Nucky's woman. She will definitely go at Nucky's main. I see that coming.
I just don't think she's all that innocent. I think she was riding with her husband due to the circumstances, but she was silently waiting for the right opportunity to jump ship. Hopefully they'll get into her back story a little more so I can see if I'm right or not. But she's no church mouse, that's for sure. The way she was piping up at the party and not shy about her opinion also showed me that she's not all she seems...
EDIT:
And who knows what reason her husband had for being a drunk. He did notice the money and make that connection real quick...

I think that he's also intrigued by the fact that she's very intelligent. Remember the time when she delivered the dress and she rebuked an argument that one of his friends had for allowing alcohol.Originally Posted by RustyShackleford
I liked the episode and did not think it was slow at all. There are my theories for what happened:
-Jimmy's mom knows she is getting old and her looks are fading. From Jimmy's story to the #*+$++ it seems she was always trying to get a man to marry her and it never worked out. Raising Jimmy was the only thing that she has ever done right and loves him to death because he was the only male in her life that never left her. Now she knows Jimmy is gone most likely forever, raising Jimmy's son is the only thing left in her life that will bring her joy. Remember before Jimmy went off to war everyone thought the he would end up being the man. She probably wants to spent the last days of her life repeating what use to bring here the most joy, raising her little boy.
-The photographer beating Jimmy's baby momma's box. I think she will leave, and Jimmy's mom will look after the son. The interesting thing is Luciano thinks Jimmy's mom is Jimmy's wife, and if she is raising the little boy alone it makes it look even more so. So when Luciano returns to Jersey he might still think Jimmy's mom is the wife and then putting her in danger will be the only way they could draw Jimmy back to Jersey.
-Nucky's brother is going to be problems later on.Mrs. Schroeder
-Nucky realized that he can't play Mrs. Schroeder, he knows she could be problems in the future so keeping her close will be a more effective way of making sure she does interfere with business. Because I am sure Nucky realizes she figured out exactly who he is by now.
-I don't have a negative view of Mrs. Schroeder's action, she fell for Nucky and when Nucky started to game her she did not take it and rollover she got him back. I mean his chick left Europe for a better life, ended up marry a drunk with no ambition who just got her pregnant and whooped her !$@ for years. I think she is in the "I ain't taking this $%@% another more mode"
-The FBI agrent and Nucky's old girl are going to flip the @$%% out when they found out Nucky smashed
