Something is up with the theatre, but I don't know what just yet. Brian Cox is playing it cool, and I'm sure that's all part of his plan. His "actresses" seem to be spies as well, getting in with the fringe players (like the weird dude that was teaching the "whore" dice.)
If Al goes down, and with the series ending - he probably is, I just hope he brings as many of Tolliver's and Hearts people with him. I think seeing Al desperate might be more exciting than watching Al in control.
I didn't get uncomfortable. I got the impression Al knew what was going on, and sent a message to Hurst that he's not going to be a part of it, whatever it is. Al is his own man. I stil have hope that Tolliver is doing what he has to do to get the best of Hurst, but I'm not so sure.
And in the end it will come down to Bullock doing something or other to set things right. Unfortunately, he'll probably have to turn on Al. Al's way of running things, though entertaining, isn't conducive to society in the long run.

This just keeps getting better...
