White House Plumbers Episode 4 Recap: The Watergate Crash
The Alex Gregory and Peter Hueck-created series ‘White House Plumbers’ is a political satire. It is directed by E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and G.J. The Watergate Scandal is recounted from the perspective of Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux). In hindsight, it appears to have been a failed attempt by novices to influence the outcome of an election that did not need to be affected.
In episode 4, titled ‘The Writer’s Wife,’ Howard and Liddy begin to examine evidence that could implicate them in the attempted burglary, but it is insufficient. Dorothy (Lena Headey), a former spy, takes matters into her own hands and provides money to those involved in the Nixon administration’s larceny. This continues until a catastrophe occurs and alters the course of history. Here is everything you need to know about the fourth episode of ‘White House Plumbers’ and its conclusion.

After learning McCord’s real name and true identity, the authorities quickly uncover a connection between the thieves and the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Howard is terrified when the FBI arrives with a lengthy list of questions at his door, prompting him to storm his house and hide. When Dorothy returns from her trip to Paris, she is enraged.
After all, She informed Howard that Watergate was headed in the same direction as the Bay of Pigs scandal. Howard attempts to rationalize himself by claiming that he tried to prevent the break-in but was overruled. Howard remains highly loyal to the Nixon administration, much to Dorothy’s dismay, but she convinces him to hire an attorney. This is how we are introduced to Howard’s defense attorney, William Bittman.
Dorothy and Bittman are disappointed when Howard announces that he will not identify any of his accomplices, despite Bittman’s efforts to persuade him to do so. Dorothy informs Bittman, the White House counsel, that loyalty is reciprocal. It appears to have the desired outcome. After the failed attempt at piracy and the unsuccessful invasion of the Bay of Pigs, the Nixon administration has a low opinion of Howard.
Dorothy’s outspokenness, on the other hand, garners her respect. She initiates communication with a man she identifies as Mr. Rivers, receives payment from him, and then divides the funds among the criminals and their families. Despite the administration’s refusal to pay Liddy, Howard persuades Dorothy that they should do so with the money they are receiving. Meanwhile, Liddy meets with John Dean and expresses her willingness to perish as the President.

Since Howard first met Bittman, a lot has transpired. He seems to be aware of the future implications of this situation and is prepared for the possibility that others would seek to profit from it. Being the brains of the plan, Howard knows his story would generate a lot of attention. He tries to talk Gordon into signing a book contract with him over dinner at the Liddys’ house, but Gordon refuses and instead vows to stay faithful to the Nixon government no matter what.
Unfortunately, Liddy is determined to mend the pair so that they may continue living apart. It comes to light that Howard has been using official White House stationery to write to various people, including the attractive flight attendant he flirted with on the way back from the Ellsberg break-in.
Howard’s book on Watergate may potentially lead to the Ellsberg scandal, right? I can’t say for sure, but judging from the book, it seems like a fantastic plan. Dorothy adds that the money she is sending comes straight from the Hunt family’s coffers as payback for Gordon’s refusal and his heartless wish to disgrace Dorothy by applying Howard’s roving eyes. The quintet doesn’t make it through the salad course.
People are formally introduced the following day. The fact that Liddy’s mom posted bail for her is so out there that it must be genuine. Howard, now more enraged than ever, begs Bittman to increase the pressure on the White House by reminding him that the truth about the Ellsberg break-in and the longest-running satire in the series may also reveal the assassination of Kennedy. But why should they be so worried about this individual right now? There is no way to trust him.
The show constantly reminds us that Hunt is flatly broke, yet it’s hard to feel any compassion for his bleak future without the means to spoil his tennis whites at the country club or his horses. Keeping horses as a hobby. St. John tells his mother that his father forced him to help clean up after Watergate, but I think Nixon’s landslide victory was the final straw for Dorothy. “Well, it was all for nothing,” she spouts. A direct quote: “Fuck Nixon.”
A month later, Dorothy flies to Chicago to provide illicit funds to criminals who support the president she despises, but she has some unpleasant news to share with them before she leaves the airport. She plans to end her marriage to Howard after this final trip. The casteist friends she has acquired have convinced her to go.
Dorothy plays the ace when they argue about who has been unfair more often and how often she finds out he took St. John’s. The music accompanying their chat is sorrowful, but they are not in a gloomy mood. Dorothy despises her partner, how she disliked him for eating ziti prepared with Nazis, and how she never appreciated him typing his racy books.
She tells Michelle Clark everything she knows about Watergate while they are on a flight, and then she passes away. Was it too late for her to speak up about her husband’s dishonest practices? The answer is yes, But her standing up for herself, at last, was fruitless. Also, perhaps the opinion of a White House plumber on how to end systemic corruption in government. Anything that involves more than one female victim or vengeful action. Maybe there isn’t a colossal force trying to halt it.
