Fact vs Fiction: White House Plumbers episode 3 — how many times did the plumbers break into the Watergate?

Alexis Valdes, Kim Coates, Nelson Ascensio, Toby Huss, Justin Theroux, Yul Vazquez, Tony Plana and Woody Harrelson in White House Plumbers

After setting the stage in the first two episodes, White House Plumbers episode 3, "Don't Drink the Whiskey at the Watergate," reenacts the Watergate break-in of 1972 that would eventually lead to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. Or should we say break-ins?

Most of us know the story of Watergate, particularly the cover-up that followed the break-in on June 17, 1972. But White House Plumbers gives us a look at the mistakes that led to the burglars being caught and was the beginning of the end of Nixon's presidency.
