Loyalty is a two-way street, but unfortunately, it’s often the higher-ups who seem to forget that they need to repay the loyalty that once saved their skin. The same thing quickly transpired in the final episode of the HBO miniseries White House Plumbers, as events picked up right after Dorothy’s death in the plane crash. As the trial for bugging the DNC reaches a tipping point, Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy start thinking of ways to approach the matter individually, though vastly different in their manner of approach. Let’s find out what all happened in the White House Plumbers finale.
Spoilers Ahead
What Happens During The Trial Phase?
During Dorothy’s funeral, All that Gordon can do is ask the grieving Howard if he’s still writing the tell-all book exposing the involvement of the higher-ups. Apparently, right before Dorothy got on the plane, she’d gotten $200k in insurance,...

HBO’s dramatization of the 1972 Watergate scandal, White House Plumbers, is a blueprint of what Not to do when you’re infiltrating a highly secretive government building. Based on the arrests made during a break-in attempt to gather information on President Nixon’s opponent, the show represents how former CIA and FBI operatives Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy fumbled the plan, which led to their subsequent arrests. Starring Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux in the lead roles, here’s what happens in the third episode and what became of the crew during the fourth break-in attempt.

The Second Attempt
If obstinacy and hard-headedness were an Olympic sport, Gordon Liddy would be winning prizes left and right, right beside Howard Hunt, competing for the sport to prove your doubters wrong. The third episode of “White House Plumbers,” based on the 1972 Watergate scandal, demonstrates how the Plumbers’ crew found themselves...

The legacy of the Watergate break-in is one of virulent distrust in the American government, and in some cases aggressive empowerment of shady tactics from the American government. Our media has been enraptured with the story for decades, as an example of how head-and-shoulders-down journalism work can take down the tyrannical powers that be, from Alan J. Paluka’s “All the President’s Men” to Ron Howard’s “Frost/Nixon.”
But now, Hollywood has shifted to depictions from within the Watergate scandal. Just one year after the limited series “Gaslit,” we have a new five-episode limited series entitled “White House Plumbers.” And the results are sloppy, much like the actual Watergate break-in.
The primary White House Plumbers — the special investigation unit tasked to “plug leaks” emitting from the White House and protect President Richard Nixon’s power by any means necessary — are the gruff E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and the...

One of the biggest puzzle pieces of the spring television season recently fit into place with the announcement that the HBO limited series “White House Plumbers” will debut on Monday, May 1. From three of the comedic minds behind the Emmy-winning “Veep” — David Mandel, Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck — this five-part political thriller and satire explores the events of the Watergate break-in from vantage point of two of its masterminds: E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux).
In the full trailer, Howard’s wife Dorothy, played by Lena Headey, declares the scheme to re-elect President Richard Nixon by bugging their opponents at the Democratic National Committee, “The stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” The series begins with the White House employing Hunt and Liddy to investigate the leak of the Pentagon Papers and zeroes in on their subsequent, haphazard schemes to break into the DNC offices; the...

A couple of days ago I presented my editor with the brilliant idea of ranking Elvis Presley‘s songs to honor his birthday on January 8. Being a Mississippi girl, and having spent almost 30 years of that time living in the town of his birth, I am aware of his huge catalogue of hits, but picking just 25 out of such a variety proved to be more challenging than I anticipated. It has also been a reminder of the enormous impact that this boy from a small town made across three entertainment mediums and across several genres of music.
Born January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Ms, Presley spent his first 13 years there, with his interest in music sparking from a guitar gifted to him, church hymns and local hillbilly singer Mississippi Slim. After the family moved to Memphis, Tn, in 1948, Presley was surrounded by many different styles of music, including country, hillbilly, gospel and blues,...

A familiar name takes the floor in the third episode of House of the Dragon released Monday (5 September).
Jason Lannister (Jefferson Hall) announces his proposal to marry Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), the heir to the throne chosen by her father, King Viserys I (Paddy Considine).
Carrying all the arrogant swagger of a medieval Old Etonian, Jason is easily recognisable as the ancestor of beloved Game of Thrones characters such as Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister.
So, how does Jason relate to his Game of Thrones successors?
Jason precedes Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion by roughly 200 years
Ser Jason attempts to woo Rhaenyra with little success on the king’s hunting trip in House of the Dragon. He has a twin, Ser Tyland, who we may see in episodes to come...
Spoiler alert: When Viserys dies in 129 AC, his widow and second wife, Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower defies the king's last will,...
