"The episode opens with Charles providing a little history lesson about how the rise of automobiles in the 1910s rendered the horse stables under the building obsolete. The mob saw an opportunity for all of that space, and thus The Velvet Room was born, where some of the most consequential decisions in the city have been made for nearly a hundred years."
"And speaking of stumbling upon things, when they're down there they hear Oliver up in the dry cleaners through the vent where Nicky's body had just fallen onto him. They tell him to meet them back upstairs and not to let any of his DNA get on the dead mobster's body, for obvious reasons, but unfortunately, it's way too late for that."
The Arconia’s secret casino, The Velvet Room, originated when rising automobile use made the building’s horse stables obsolete and the mob repurposed that space. While investigating, the group hears Oliver in the dry cleaners where Nicky’s body fell on him, unintentionally contaminating the corpse with his DNA. Oliver panics and brings the body upstairs in a laundry cart. The group decides to wash Oliver’s DNA off the body and stage it back where it was found, then perform their own autopsy. They find green felt under the nails and note timing differences between the deaths, creating confusion about a possible link.
