Episode recap[edit]
Christopher leaves rehab[edit]
Tony gets a call from Patsy Parisi, who is watching Adriana pick Christopher Moltisanti up from rehab. Patsy reports to Tony that Christopher has graduated rehab and is looking well. However, also observing are FBI Agents Harris and Grasso, to whom Patsy extends his middle finger.
Adriana meets with Agent Sanseverino, and they discuss Christopher's return. Adriana reveals that Christopher no longer wants children because he feels he is unfit to be a father, after having accidentally suffocated her dog while high. Adriana tells Sanseverino that she and Christopher plan to get help for Ralph Cifaretto when he resurfaces. She also states that Vito Spatafore has been calling her while Christopher was in rehab. Finally, she asks permission to visit her mother and gives thanks when it is granted.
Beach house[edit]
As Carmela is still feeling unwell, she and Tony visit Dr. Cusamano. Cusamano reassures Carmela that she does not have lupus as she believed, but most likely mono. He also checks after her mental health inquiring about any significant changes in her life that may have brought on this illness. Tony takes Carmela to a surprise trip to "Whitecaps," the house on the Jersey Shore he is thinking of buying for the family. Carmela's father, Hugh, and a RE/MAX real estate agent, Virginia Lupo, meet them there. Carmela worries that they won't be able to afford the property, due to the Esplanade situation with the Lupertazzi family, but Tony explains that he wants something to draw the family together. Virginia explains the catch: the house has been sold to another couple but it seems likely they won't be approved for the home loan.
In bed, Carmela encourages Tony to buy Whitecaps as an investment. Tony and Chris visit Whitecaps and Tony meets the owner, Alan Sapinsly, an attorney, who owns the house next door. When Tony offers cash in the shortest possible time allowed by law, Sapinsly calls Dr. Kim, the current buyer, and negotiates his way out of their contract by promising full return of the deposit and threatening litigation if Dr. Kim moves in. Tony immediately tells his family the good news and they all arrive to survey the property. Tony and Carmela have a romantic walk on the beach, and they reaffirm their love for one another.
Esplanade shut down[edit]
With the Esplanade construction project shut down, Johnny Sack is worried about the lost revenue and argues with his wife, Ginny. Tony meets Johnny in an OfficeMax store and they again discuss making a move against Carmine Lupertazzi. Tony says he has to pass, but this proves to be a negotiating technique. When Johnny promises to relinquish claims to his HUD business and gives him an equitable split on all future projects, Tony agrees to go ahead. On the return trip, Tony discusses the job with Christopher. Tony asks him to contract the job out and make it look like a random act, such as a carjacking or robbery gone wrong. Christopher says he knows some trustworthy black men to carry it out. Christopher delivers a pre-payment to Credenzo Curtiss and Stanley Johnson, a couple of heroin dealers he knows from his pre-rehab days, and delivers instructions for the planned hit on Carmine, including his clockwork-like movements, and tells the hitmen to make it look like a carjacking.
Tony receives a call from Johnny to tell him that Carmine has decided to settle. Tony and Chris attend a sitdown in a Queens, New York park. They ultimately settle on 15% for Carmine. Carmine asks Tony to remember his son, Little Carmine's, role, whom he claims helped a lot, in the settlement after he [Carmine Sr.] "is gone." But Carmine also reminds them of his good health, that he "...isn't going anywhere." "Healthy as a rhino", Johnny Sack adds about Carmine. Tony and Carmine embrace.
At first, still telling Christopher to proceed with the hit on Carmine, Tony later changes his mind and notifies him to call off the assassination and to ensure the hired guns don't talk to anyone. Christopher meets Credenzo and Johnson with half of what they would have been paid and drives off. Benny Fazio and Petey, suddenly appear and shoot the two would-be hitmen repeatedly before grabbing the money and fleeing the scene, as Chris watches from a distance. Tony drives out to meet Johnny and tells him that the Carmine hit is off. Tony feels that the hit will be too high-profile and it would more than likely draw attention from the FBI. Also, there is no reason to kill Carmine now that the dispute is resolved. Johnny is highly enraged and complains to Tony that he will have to go back to work for Carmine and his son, whom he hates, each day. Johnny lets loose his true feelings about his boss, including treasonous insults. Tony says he shouldn't be hearing this. Johnny asks Tony why he should trust him when he has backed out of their deal, something that he can hang over Johnny's head. Tony again states that he shouldn't be hearing this. They part ways after an embrace, but eye each other when Johnny drives away.
Junior's trial[edit]
At Junior's trial, the jurors are having difficulty reaching a verdict. The jurors look angrily at one man in particular: Danny Scalercio, the juror whom Eugene Pontecorvo intimidated. As the judge reads them the Allen charge instructing them to deliberate further despite their apparent deadlock, Junior gives the corrupted juror a long stare. Later, Junior finally gets a mistrial when the jury still cannot reach a verdict, to his and his entourage's joyous celebration. When Junior returns home, he is in no mood for much partying and just lets Bobby Bacala order some pizzas and get a bottle from the fridge, while he tries to nap on the couch. He comments that Tony probably won't visit him because of his own troubles. Bobby and Janice's relationship appears to be developing. They dance and caress together, but an irritated Junior breaks up the moment by ordering Bobby to check for Murf's payment envelope, "downstairs under the flagstone."
The separation[edit]
Tony's ex-mistress, Irina, is drunk and phones the Soprano residence, telling Carmela she used to have sex with her husband. Carmela hangs up, shocked. Irina calls back and tells Carmela that "Tony loves [her]" and she also reveals he had sex with Svetlana. Carmela tells Irina that if she calls again then she "will find her and kill her." Later, as Tony pulls into his driveway, music blaring, he accidentally runs over his golf clubs, which are in the middle of the driveway. He exits the vehicle and sees Carmela hurling more of his possessions from an upstairs window, and at him when he enters the house, before she locks herself in the bedroom. Carmela tells Tony that he has embarrassed her for years with his infidelity and she is angry because it has bled into their home lives. She is even more infuriated because Irina initially spoke to A.J. Carmela tells him to leave the house, becoming violent when he touches her after Tony tells her to calm down. Tony accuses Carmela of taking money from his stash in the bird feed bags, which she denies and counters by bringing up the fingernail she found. Tony tries to deny the connection (the fingernail in fact belonged to yet another mistress, Valentina La Paz) but can't come up with an excuse for it, being caught red-handed. Carmela again insists that Tony leave. When Tony asks about the kids, she admits the separation would be horrible for them, but stands her ground and he leaves.
Tony drives to Irina's duplex but only Svetlana is there. Svetlana reveals to Tony that Irina and Zellman broke up because of the emasculating beating that Tony gave him in front of Irina. She also tells Tony that Branca, the now-fired nurse of Junior, was the one who told Irina about their affair after an argument over Svetlana's withholding Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax and other taxes from her paycheck. Tony lets her know about the separation. Svetlana tells Tony that he is a strong man and will survive and they part somewhat amicably. Tony goes to Whitecaps to stay there for the night, as his boat is being stained and the fumes have driven him out. In the morning, he is awakened by Sapinsly's banging on the window. Sapinsly asks him not to stay at the house, since he would be liable if something happened to Tony while he was there, as he is not technically the owner yet. He advises Tony to meet with all of the top local divorce lawyers, so that none of them will be able to take Carmela on as a client. Once he is dressed, Tony visits the Sapinsly house and asks to withdraw from the sale. Alan's wife, Trish, seems caring but Alan insists that they stick to the contract he signed, especially since Alan dumped another buyer to accommodate Tony. After Tony leaves, Trish chastises Alan for getting into a dispute with a "mobster," and also for lying about having partners.
At the Soprano household, Meadow discusses the separation with her mother. She is distressed about it and brings up Furio Giunta. Carmela denies any infidelity to Tony. Meadow storms off, after asking her mother how she could "eat shit" from Tony for so many years. Tony dines at Nuovo Vesuvio and Artie offers consolations. Paulie Gualtieri fervently supports Tony's position in the argument with Carmela, telling him he should have kicked her out of "his house."
Tony returns home and Carmela is angry to see him. She tries to stop him from taking food from the refrigerator, twice, and demands that he leave. Tony becomes violent and refuses to leave. Carmela threatens to call a lawyer and get a restraining order. Tony dares her to and hands her his phone which she bats away with her hand. Carmela tells him that she doesn't want him sleeping in her bed anymore and that she no longer loves him. Carmela runs upstairs in tears. Later, A.J. helps Tony clear the home cinema (located in the pool house) so that he can stay there. Tony tells his son that he will be taking a bigger hand in his life now that he is right outside. Tony has a difficult night's sleep.
Tony lies in the pool and Carmela asks him to move the chairs he has put on the lawn. Tony thinks she is looking for an excuse to nag him and they get into another argument. Carmela tells Tony it might not have come to this if he had a more loving attitude while at home. Tony brings up Carmela's telling him he was going to hell when he was first being examined for an MRI for his collapses (in episode 1). She follows him out to the home theater room and apologizes, telling him he was her man and was sweet to her. Tony asks her what she expected from their marriage, as she knew everything about him when they met, including the fact he and his family were gangsters, and that gangsters keep "women on the side." He also accuses her of materialism. Carmela calls Tony hateful and reveals she harbored feelings for Furio, telling Tony that her happiest moments for months have been her mornings with Furio. Tony again becomes violent and charges at Carmela and almost punches her but stops himself and punches holes in the wall beside her head instead, smashing it in. She turns away while Tony keeps punching. He tells her he looked for women with different qualities from her in his affairs. She reminds him that he hardly knew most of the women he slept with and walks out, calling him a "fucking hypocrite." Later, Tony calls Dr. Melfi but hangs up when she answers. She tries to call him back using *69 but the recording says that the number was blocked to that service.
A.J. goes to his father to ask if he can move in with him because A.J. is not getting along with his mother. Tony refuses and tells A.J. to support his mother. Tony tells the family he has decided to move out completely. A.J. becomes upset and asks if it was because he asked to live with Tony. Meadow takes the news hard as well, and suggests Tony and Carmela try counseling again. When Meadow gets upstairs, a flash of a moment from years before when she antagonized her parents runs through her mind and she begins to cry. Tony packs to leave and Carmela tells him to be careful. A.J. watches from the doorway with his mother as his father leaves for good.
Whitecaps deposit battle[edit]
Sapinsly calls Tony to say he is going to let him out of the sale but will keep the $200,000 deposit. Tony says if that's the case, he will move in and make Sapinsly's life hell. Benny and Little Paulie take the speakers out of Tony's home theater, install them on Tony's boat (The Stugots), and play a Dean Martin in Las Vegas concert at high volume, disrupting the Sapinslys' lunch party with family friends. The Sapinslys close the patio doors and return to their lunch, attempting to act as if the lunch is unaffected, but they can still hear the music through the closed windows. This occurs again at night as they sit in lawn chairs facing the bay sipping wine. Sapinly's wife urges him to settle the matter. Sapinsly wants to call the Coast Guard again but she points out that they will only turn the music down again when the police boat comes close. She loses her temper and shouts at him that Tony could keep paying the $200 fines forever and goes into the house. Sapinsly sits there a few more moments. He gets up and goes inside, closing the doors and windows to block out some of the noise.
Deceased[edit]
Credenzo Curtis and Stanley Johnson: shot by Benny Fazio and Petey LaRosa in the Meadowlands to ensure their silence about the canceled Carmine hit.
Title reference[edit]
"Whitecaps" is the name of the property Tony plans to buy for his family.
Whitecaps on water indicate rough sailing or trouble ahead.
Production[edit]
David Chase described Tony's use of Dean Martin to intimidate Sapinsly as "cultural warfare" because Martin is Italian.[citation needed]
"Whitecaps" is the longest episode of the series, running 75 minutes.
This is the final episode the characters Irina Peltsin and Svetlana Kirilenko appear in.
References to past episodes[edit]
Tony brings up Carmela's telling him he was going to hell when he was first being examined for an MRI for his collapses (this occurred in the show's pilot episode)
References to other media and cultural references[edit]
When Johnny Sack and Tony meet at an Office Depot to discuss potentially assassinating Carmine Lupertazzi, Johnny paraphrases a line from The Beatles' song, "Hey Jude", saying "I'll take a sad song and make it better".
When Tony first sees Christopher after he's released from rehab, he says "Hey, Jack Lemmon! How's Lee Remick?" This refers to the 1962 film Days of Wine and Roses which deals with alcoholism and recovery.
When Carmela asks Tony to bring the theater seats down to the garage so they don't ruin the grass, he jokingly exclaims "Bad for the grass! Bad for the grass!" in an exaggerated, high-pitch voice, which is a reference to the 1974 film Chinatown.
When fighting with Tony in the pool house, Carmela says angrily "Who knew? All this time, you really wanted Tracy and Hepburn."
Johnny Sack says to Tony angrily "Creeps on this petty pace..." misquoting Shakespeare's Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 20).
When explaining his decision to call off the hit on Carmine, Tony warns Johnny Sack they need to avoid causing a "shootout at the OK Corral," referencing the infamous 1881 gunfight.
Music[edit]
"Layla" by Derek and the Dominos is playing in Tony's truck when he runs over his golf clubs in his driveway.
The song played while Tony and Christopher are at Nuovo Vesuvio is "Oh, What A Night" by The Dells.
The song played over the end credits is "I Love Paris (Vegas)" by Dean Martin. It is followed by the instrumental piece, "I Have Dreamed", from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical The King and I, performed by Fantastic Strings.

Episode recap[edit]
As Junior Soprano's trial concludes, Eugene Pontecorvo and Dogsy find juror Danny Scalercio while he is out shopping with his son and intimidate him.
While playing golf, Little Carmine and Johnny Sack try to convince Carmine, Sr. to reduce his demands in his dispute with Tony over the HUD scheme. Carmine Sr., who even refuses to consider the Jersey gangsters a "family," uncharacteristically becomes angry, smashes his golf club and refuses to back down. Sack meets with Tony and Silvio at Carmine's new restaurant and offers a minor compromise; Tony, angry in part because Carmine will not deal with him face-to-face, rejects it immediately and later orders that the restaurant be vandalized.
Carmine uses his union influence to shut down work at the disputed project, the Esplanade. Tony decides to wait the dispute out, expecting the financial losses on both sides will quickly force Carmine into a compromise. Johnny Sack meets with Tony and raises the possibility of killing Carmine, surprising Tony.
In the Soprano household, Carmela and A.J. discuss a paper he is writing on Herman Melville's Billy Budd. Tony's callous behavior toward Carmela angers Furio, who has difficulty restraining himself when Tony calls his wife a "moody bitch." Tony remains oblivious of the growing romantic tension between Carmela and Furio. Carmela later visits Furio's house to discuss decorating, but a possible escalation of sexual tension is interrupted by one of her father's contractors.
Tony, Furio, and other members of the crew visit a Native American-owned casino in Connecticut. While most of the others carouse, Furio stands aloof. Later, as the drunken crew prepares to board the casino's helicopter for the flight home, Furio grabs Tony by the shirt front and appears barely able to restrain himself from shoving Tony into the spinning tail rotor. Furio tells the baffled Tony he was standing too close to the blades. The next day, Furio does not appear to pick up Tony when expected, and Carmela and Tony learn he has abruptly returned to Italy. Carmela and Rosalie Aprile have dinner at Nuovo Vesuvio. When Rosalie suggests Tony might have taken action against Furio, she becomes distraught and is later seen spending time crying alone.
Paulie Gualtieri's mother Nucci gets into a minor car crash - she is a backseat passenger when her friend Minn Matrone runs into a car in a parking lot. Paulie chides Minn at the emergency room where the women were brought; a doctor also asks her about her eyesight. Later, Paulie has lunch with Nucci, Minn, and another friend of hers, Cookie, and overhears Minn keeps her life savings in her home, under her mattress. After a rough-edged conversation with Silvio about his loyalty to the family reveals Tony's unhappiness with his declining financial contributions, Paulie runs into Carmine Sr. at a family wedding, only to learn that Johnny Sack has never informed the New York boss about his previous suggestions of a shift in loyalties, in fact he doesn't even know who he is. Deeply shocked, Paulie decides to steal Minn Matrone's cash to make up for his shortfall to Tony. When she appears unexpectedly to have been in the apartment the whole time during his burglary, she stumbles upon him in her bedroom, recognizing him. She threatens to call the police and then starts to scream. Paulie tackles her and suffocates her with a pillow. He then takes the large envelope of money to Tony.
A family dinner to meet Meadow's new boyfriend, Finn DeTrolio, at her shared apartment near Columbia, further dispirits Carmela. She gets involved in an argument about Billy Budd with Meadow and her roommates when she fiercely defends it as not having homosexual themes, as literary critic Leslie Fiedler and others interpret. Their annual mother-daughter birthday outing under the Eloise painting at the Plaza Hotel the next day turns quickly into hostile bickering. Carmela complains to Tony about her disagreements with Meadow. Meadow learns from A.J. about their mother's visits to Furio's home and her depression since he left. Tony later approaches his daughter getting ready for a skiing trip to Montréal for a candid talk about Carmela and reveals to a surprised Meadow he and Carmela both had couples counseling (at Dr. Melfi's) where he learned Carmela may be feeling "unfulfilled" and suggests Meadow that she treat her mother with more restraint. Meadow inquires if that is all Tony suspects, but, when he says yes, she does not reveal anything about Furio. Going to bed, Tony again converses with Carmela about Meadow, trying to make peace between them; when he asks his wife if seeing Meadow turning into a "smart, beautiful, independent woman" is not all she ever wanted, Carmela stares into a wall, seemingly deeply lost in thought, and then answers in an emotionless tone of voice, "Yes."
First appearance[edit]
Finn DeTrolio: Meadow's new boyfriend looking to go to dental school.
Deceased[edit]
Minn Matrone: suffocated by Paulie Walnuts after he attempted to steal her money and she caught him in the act.
Final appearance[edit]
"Eloise" marks the final appearance of the character Furio Giunta, a DiMeo/Soprano crime family soldier imported from Annalisa Zucca's Camorra family in Italy. Furio is only mentioned in future episodes.
Title reference[edit]
The title refers to the portrait, Eloise, at the Plaza Hotel, which is based on the books of the same name. Carmela and Meadow have a tradition, mentioned in the pilot episode, of eating lunch while seated in front of this painting.
References to other media and events[edit]
There is a poster for Topdog/Underdog, the 2002 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Suzan-Lori Parks, hanging in Meadow's new apartment.
As Meadow mentions going on a ski trip with her friends, Carmela warns her to be careful, and to remember what happened to Sonny Bono. Singer, actor and politician Bono died in a skiing accident in January 1998.
The Soprano family and Meadow's friends discuss the Herman Melville novel Billy Budd and whether or not a homosexual subtext can be found in it. During the discussion, one of Meadow's friends observes that Terence Stamp played parts not only in Billy Budd, but also in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
A.J. also reads Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice.
A.J. wears a Primal Scream T-shirt whilst talking to Meadow in his bedroom.
Near the end of the episode, Carmela watches a film, How to Marry a Millionaire, on TV.
Music[edit]
The song played during the Soprano family's visit to Meadow in New York is "New Slang" by The Shins.
The song played in the background of a scene between Silvio and Paulie is Metallica's cover of "The Small Hours" by Holocaust.
The song played at the Bada Bing office when Paulie gives Tony a large envelope of cash (after the murder and robbery of Minn Matrone) is "Real Fonky Time" by Dax Riders.
The song played over the end credits is "Little Bird" (Live version) by Annie Lennox.

Episode recap[edit]
Tony Soprano has a dream in which he rides in the back of his father's old Cadillac: Carmela drives while Ralphie sits in front of him and a caterpillar appears on his bald head that changes suddenly into a dark butterfly or moth. Sitting next to Tony is Gloria Trillo at first, but changes to Svetlana Kirilenko. Tony discusses the dream in therapy and Dr. Melfi suggests that it means that Carmela is in control and Tony wants to square the changes in the lives of the others in the car with her. Dr. Melfi also asks in reference to Ralph "Has your friend changed recently?" Tony frustratedly stresses that they were only business associates and replies, "Hmm..no.." Tony expresses a dissatisfaction with his therapy and that his lack of impulse control still leads him to make mistakes in his life and work. He makes a sarcastic reference to the fact that the money he spent on therapy could have gone towards a Ferrari and at least he "would have gotten a blowjob out of that."
Bobby Baccalieri drops his daughter, Sophia, off at a baseball game and she notices a birthday-like cake in the back of the car. Bobby later takes the cake to his wife Karen's grave and buries it next to her. While burying the cake he has a "conversation" with his dead wife, confiding in her that he "would have been with [her] already if it wasn't for the kids." Later at dinner, an upset Bobby is followed upstairs by Janice, who questions him about the cake. He initially lies, but then tells her why he did what he did, because it would have been their 14-year anniversary. In Bobby Jr.'s room, the children talk about ghosts; Sophia is afraid, but Bobby Jr. tries to reassure her that there are no such things as ghosts. Janice visits Carmela at the Soprano household to discuss her difficulties in getting Bobby to "move on."
Tony has a sitdown in New York City with Carmine Lupertazzi and Johnny Sack. They demand 40% of his HUD business as it is linked to Assemblyman Zellman, who is in the pocket of both families and any profit made by using Zellman should be split, though not equally but fairly. Carmine comments on the missing Ralph, but Tony asks them the same question, gets up, and leaves. Carmine and Johnny look at each other and concede that Tony's reaction was about what they expected. Tony phones Johnny on his way home with a counter offer of 5.5%, which Carmine rejects. Instead, Carmine dispatches Joey Peeps to attack Tony's appraiser on the HUD scam. He takes Anthony, an associate, with him and catches up to "Vic the Appraiser."
Later, Johnny meets with Paulie and suggests that a change in leadership might be needed. Paulie is quick to put himself forward, reminding Johnny of his good relationship with New York. Johnny assures him that Carmine will always keep him in mind.
Tony visits Junior at home to discuss getting to a juror in the RICO trial, but Junior seems distracted and looks disheveled. Branca Libinsk, the new Russian nurse, and Junior are not getting along very well.
Later, Tony has a meeting with Silvio Dante, Vito Spatafore, and Paulie Gualtieri to discuss the assault and disappearance of the appraiser. Eugene Pontecorvo arrives to pick up Vito and Paulie also reluctantly leaves. Once he is alone with Silvio, Tony raises the possibility of reaching out to Little Carmine Lupertazzi in Florida through their old friend Beansie Gaeta. "Vic the Appraiser" gets beaten down again later — this time by Vito and Dogsy to convince him to work for the Soprano family.
At the Soprano Sunday dinner, the De Angelises and Baccalieris are visiting. After dinner, A.J. disappears to his room with his girlfriend, Devin, but Carmela insists that he play a game with Bobby Jr. and Sophia. A.J. pulls out a Ouija board, and this progresses into a mock and prank séance that terrifies the Baccalieri children. Carmela and Tony scold A.J. for being insensitive to the kids who have lost their mother.
Tony gets a call from Beansie to confirm the Miami trip. He later speaks to Silvio and tells him he suspects Paulie of being the leak through which Johnny is getting information on their business and Silvio believes it could be a possibility. Tony asks Silvio to keep the trip to Miami quiet from Paulie.
Svetlana calls Tony to thank him for sending her the diamond horseshoe brooch (previously rejected by Valentina La Paz). Tony seems eager to continue the relationship but Svetlana again turns him down and hangs up. In therapy, Tony tells Dr. Melfi that he has broken up with Svetlana on his initiative. He makes a Freudian slip, saying after a while he "had to cut off the leg." He eventually admits that it was actually the other way around and she broke up with him. He blames his lack of progress in therapy and mentions Svetlana calling him "high maintenance". Tony again tells Dr. Melfi that he wants to leave therapy, but she insists that now that his symptoms are under control they can make real progress, but Tony decides that her time is up. Tony kisses Dr. Melfi on the cheek and thanks her before he leaves. Afterwards, Dr. Melfi calls her therapist, Dr. Kupferberg, and leaves a message on his answering machine to let him guess who is no longer her patient, adding "calling all cars" to the important news.
At Junior's trial, the judge throws out Attorney Melvoin's motion for a mistrial due to Junior's head injury and claimed dementia because government psychiatrists have ruled out him being incapable of standing trial. Bobby reassures the frustrated Junior that they will get to a juror.
Bobby and Janice get into a fight at a movie theater over Bobby's continuing reluctance to let go of his late wife. Later, Janice uses an internet chat program to deceive and secretly direct Bobby's children to a Ouija board in their home. When Bobby arrives home, his children are in a terrified state and he calls Janice for help. She tells him she had heard them with the Ouija board earlier in the day but didn't want to get involved because of their argument. Janice uses her manufactured situation with the children as a reason that Bobby needs to move on and again asks him to eat his wife's last frozen ziti. Bobby reluctantly agrees.
Tony arrives in Miami Beach and meets up with Beansie. Later they meet with Little Carmine at a restaurant. Carmine agrees to travel home and talk to his father and he seems eager to place the blame for the situation at Johnny's feet. Tony mentions that Carmine has tried to reach Maurice Tiffen, as well as having the appraiser jumped. Tony threatens action against the New York family should negotiations fail to yield results.
Tony has another dream where he follows a bald Ralph to an old house, which Ralph enters. Tony is dressed in trousers, suspenders and a sleeveless undershirt —- like a workman. He knocks on the door. After a few moments of no one answering, he knocks again and announces he is there for the "masonry job". After a few more moments, a female figure with a shadowy face resembling Livia Soprano appears upstairs from around the corner. She walks slowly downstairs in shadow but stops halfway staring at him. He sees her and then opens the door to let himself in. The door creaks. Tony says he is there for the masonry job and that he does not speak English. She remains silent. Just as Tony enters the house he wakes up short of breath, sweaty, and startled. He is still in Miami Beach, in the Fountainebleau hotel. He goes out to the balcony to catch some air.
First appearances[edit]
Carmine "Little Carmine" Lupertazzi Jr.: capo in the Lupertazzi Family and son of the boss, Carmine Sr.
Dogsy: Associate in the Aprile crew.
Title reference[edit]
Dr. Melfi uses the phrase "Calling all cars" when trying to reach Dr. Kupferberg after Tony quits therapy. The phrase is an old police radio dispatch call for all radio patrol cars to assist a fellow officer or to look for a suspect or situation.
Tony seeks assistance from Beansie and Little Carmine in Miami Beach when trying to solve the sour relationship between his and New York's mob families.
References to past episodes[edit]
In his dream, Tony says he is present for a masonry job — his grandfather was a stonemason.
After A.J scares Bobby Baccalieri III and his sister by faking a séance at the Ouija board and squeezing water on his head, Bobby reveals to both his father and Tony that A.J. had locked him in Furio Giunta's garage at Furio's housewarming party, in the episode "The Weight".
References to other media[edit]
When Janice tells Bobby she noticed cemetery mud on his shoes, irritated, he calls her "Marge Hingenbrender," a malapropism of Marg Helgenberger, the actress who plays a crime scene investigator on CSI.
Bobby Jr. is seen playing the computer game Max Payne. However, the sounds heard from the computer are not those associated with the game.
Janice talks to Bobby Jr. through AOL Instant Messenger.
Music[edit]
The song played over the end credits is "Surfin' U.S.A." by The Beach Boys.
The song heard on the car radio during the opening dream sequence is Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown".
While Tony is on the phone with Svetlana, Eric Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff" can be heard in the background.
The song playing on the stereo when Carmela brings Bobby's kids to A.J.'s room is "Clocks" by Coldplay.

Episode recap[edit]
At the Bada Bing!, now a week after Tony killed Ralph, the crew is hanging about, playing pool. Christopher Moltisanti walks in with a large parcel in one hand as the rest of them are discussing Ralph's disappearance. Tony decides to call Ralph in front of his crew, feigning ignorance about Ralph's fate. The parcel Christopher brought in turns out to be the painting of Tony and Pie-O-My that Tony had ordered previously. Distraught, Tony leaves the Bing. Almost in tears as he drives down the highway, he calls back to the strip club and orders the painting destroyed. Later, Paulie sees Benny Fazio and Little Paulie trying to burn the painting and rescues it from destruction, saying it would be an honor to have a painting of Tony hanging in his house. Paulie hangs it in his living room but later takes it down to have it modified to garb Tony in the uniform of a "Napoleon-like" 18th century general.
Ralph's disappearance is starting to become an issue. At a dinner with Silvio Dante and Patsy Parisi, Ally Boy Barese, speaking off the record, verbalizes what some are thinking: Tony killed Ralph because of a horse. After Silvio leaves the table, Ally Boy summarizes that any boss who kills a member of his crew over a horse should be eliminated, and that if it were the case that Tony committed such an act, Silvio would be the "first in line to pull his plug."
Meanwhile, Tony visits Ralph's comatose son in the hospital and later has a session with Dr. Melfi. As Tony relates his pain over losing Pie-O-My, Melfi comments that he seems to grieve more for animals than for humans. Further, she reminds him that his sadness about the ducks leaving his swimming pool was an inner metaphor for his worries and fears about losing his family. Dr. Melfi questions whether the death of the horse can be attached to another internal conflict.
When Furio Giunta returns from Naples, he has gifts for A.J. and Meadow but nothing for Carmela. Later, Carmela visits Furio at his house, under the pretext of giving interior decorating tips (with A.J. once again acting as an unwitting chaperone) and receives an improvised present of a jar of homemade balsamic vinegar from Furio that he brought back from Italy. When Carmela tells Rosalie Aprile about her feelings, the widow advises that if Carmela hasn't had sex with Furio yet, she shouldn't, if only to keep Tony from exacting revenge on Furio.
At a meeting, Johnny Sack demands that Tony let New York in on the HUD scam. When Tony refuses, Johnny threatens him with, "You sure you wanna go down this road, Tony?"
Again at the Bada Bing!, Tony calls a meeting of Paulie Walnuts, Silvio Dante, Vito Spatafore, Carlo Gervasi, and other key family members. Once everyone is seated and listening, Tony states that he thinks he knows what happened to Ralph and that if he's right, he won't be coming back. Tony asserts Johnny Sack had Ralph killed over the HUD scam. Tony mentions payback will be exacted later on. Others, to Paulie's startle, speculate and question the "Ginny Sack joke" and whether or not it had any bearing on Ralph's disappearance. Tony asserts that he's sure it didn't help matters.
Adriana La Cerva meets her FBI handler, Agent Robyn Sanseverino, and feeds her as little information as possible. Sanseverino, knowing about Christopher's heroin habit, suggests that Adriana push for him to go into rehab and says the FBI has been sending them Hazelden Foundation pamphlets through the mail. Adriana breaks down in tears when she finds that Christopher, in a heroin-induced stupor, sat on her dog Cozette, killing it. Christopher, late for a meeting with Paulie and Silvio, is carjacked and robbed while attempting to purchase heroin in a low-income barrio. When he returns home beaten, Adriana gives him a pamphlet for a rehab clinic, but he hits her several times and knocks her to the floor.
Carmela receives a visit from a bruised Adriana and hears about how Christopher's addiction has left him increasingly unstable. Tony rejects the advice of Junior for dealing with Christopher, who compares Christopher to a beloved dog who gets rabies and must be put out of its misery. Instead, one morning, family and friends organize an intervention. The opening exercise involves everyone telling Christopher how his drug use has affected their lives. Tony becomes enraged when Adriana reveals that Christopher had accidentally killed Cozette. Christopher frequently interrupts and verbally attacks those speaking to him, including making veiled references to Paulie's Pine Barrens fiasco, and mentioning Silvio's infidelity. The counselor tries to stop the accusations flying in the room. But, when Christopher starts to disrespect Tony and insults his own mother, he gets a beating from the men in the room. Before really getting started, the intervention ends with Christopher being taken to the emergency room with a hairline skull fracture.
At the hospital, Tony tells Christopher that the only reason Christopher is alive is because, "You're my nephew and I love you." He arranges for Christopher to go to a rehab clinic in Pennsylvania and demands that he not leave until he is clean and sober, telling him that Patsy will be staying at a motel a half a mile away, watching him. Christopher arrives at the clinic with Adriana and Patsy. His chocolates are confiscated (because they contain caffeine) and he says goodbye to his fiancée before entering the facility.
Tony later pays a visit to Uncle Junior but finds him napping. Svetlana Kirilenko is there, but without her prosthetic leg, and is using crutches. They exchange small talk on the couch. Svetlana discusses the differences between Americans' and others' world outlooks: Americans don't expect anything bad to happen and are surprised when it does, while the rest of the world expects the worst and are not disappointed. Tony remarks that Svetlana, in partial shadow with her blond hair and cigarette smoke wafting about her, reminds him of "Greta Garble" (Greta Garbo). They look at each other intently, kiss, and then have sex on Uncle Junior's couch. Afterwards, while Tony dresses, he suggests seeing her again. Svetlana says it is not a good idea, and Tony seems upset. When Junior's home-help nurse Branca arrives unexpectedly and finds them sitting together, Tony leaves.
The episode closes with juxtaposing scenes of both Tony and Furio preparing food and eating alone at their respective homes without Carmela (Tony microwaves rigatoni and pours a glass of milk from a plastic bottle, while Furio boils pasta, and then fries it, grates cheese and has a glass of wine). The music of military drums starts playing in the background. Paulie, also home alone, hangs the painting of Tony and Pie-O-My over his fireplace. Tony has now been redone to look as an 18th-century "Napoleon-like" general, as Paulie wanted. Paulie sits with his back to the painting and turns the television to a Yankees game. However, the eyes of Tony in the painting still seem to bother him.
Deceased[edit]
Cozette: killed when Christopher, strung out on heroin, sits on her while she was lying on a sofa.
Title reference[edit]
The episode's title refers to Gary Cooper, who Tony has described as a perfect model of a man. Tony mentions Cooper several times during the series, describing him as "the strong, silent type". He first said it during therapy in the series pilot, and again in the 4th season episode "Christopher."
Tony's unknown rival for Carmela, Furio, could also be described this way.
Other cultural references[edit]
At the start of the episode, as Christopher gets high on heroin before sitting on the dog, Cozette, the television was showing an Our Gang short film Bear Shooters.
Paulie tells Silvio he watched On the Waterfront in HD and was impressed.
The baseball game Paulie watches near the end of the episode is a Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game played at Yankee Stadium on September 4, 2002, and won by the Yankees, 3-1. The play shown is Yankee designated hitter Jason Giambi's fourth-inning two-run home run off Red Sox starter Derek Lowe. Then-Red Sox left fielder Rickey Henderson is also referred to by the game's announcer. This also represents a discontinuity, as earlier in the episode Svetlana had said her fiancee was in Florida for Mets' spring training, which would be held in March.
There is an unintended and unfortunate reference during the intervention scene, when Christopher taunts Tony about his eating habits and predicts "you'll have a heart attack by the time you're 50!" James Gandolfini would in fact die of a heart attack on June 19, 2013, at the age of 51.
Music[edit]
When Adriana is talking to the FBI agent, the other car stereo is playing the song "Analyze" by The Cranberries.

Episode recap[edit]
As Junior Soprano is leaving court, he is surrounded by media and accidentally hit in the head by a boom mike, making him fall down several steps. He is sent to the hospital with a concussion. Initially, Junior seems to be acting confused and a physician offers a theory Corrado may have had developing dementia and it could have been exacerbated by the concussion, but, later, Junior is found to be fine and enjoying his stay at the hospital as respite from the trial. Tony thinks the head blow could be a golden opportunity for Junior: Tony suggests to his attorney Harold Melvoin that they could use this in Junior's defense via an unstable mental capacity claim, and Junior is to act as if he has Alzheimers. Tony tells him all he has to do is "act oobatz" or crazy, and this will end his legal problems. One morning sometime later, however, FBI agents posted outside Junior's house witness him being brought back to his house by his in-home nurse after idly wandering to the neighbors' house for ice cream; Junior seems to stand in his living room genuinely confused.
While Ralph Cifaretto's 12-year old son Justin and a friend are playing an unsupervised game of The Lord of the Rings with a bow and arrows, Justin is inadvertently shot in the chest by an arrow. The maid bangs loudly on Ralph's bathroom door when he is taking a bath, urging him to come to Justin's aid. Ralph rushes outside to see his son lying on the ground bleeding and unconscious, and is quickly rushed to the hospital where he remains in a coma. In the hospital waiting room, Ralph lashes out in rage against his ex-wife and her husband who were accusing him of failed supervision and at the boy who injured his son and has to be physically restrained by Tony. In the following days, Ralph is guilt and grief-stricken and claims he regrets his actions he has done throughout his life. He even goes and visits Father Phil Intintola to try to redeem himself, creates a $20,000-a-year scholarship at Rutgers University in Jackie Junior's name, apologizes to Rosalie Aprile for not being more sympathetic when her son died and proposes to her, but she declines.
Tony consoles Ralph when he breaks down in tears at the Bing after bringing Tony his share of recent earnings. Using the opportunity, Tony confesses to Ralph he is seeing Valentina La Paz. Although surprised, Ralph does not seem to protest the new relationship but passes on Tony's suggestion for him to spend therapeutic time at the stables with Pie-O-My. Paulie, however, still holds a grudge toward Ralph, especially since he knows Ralph prank called his mother earlier to get even with Paulie for telling Johnny Sack that Ralph made the Ginny Sack joke.
Tony and Ralph's racehorse, Pie-O-My dies in a stable fire, which was deemed as accidental by the fire department; however, Tony believes Ralph set the fire intentionally to collect on the $200,000 insurance policy he and Ralph had on the horse. After going to the stables the morning the trainer calls and delivers the bad news and seeing Pie-O-My's corpse wrapped up and dragged away by a tractor, Tony goes to Ralph's house. Tony delivers the news to Ralph that Pie-O-My is dead. Ralph expresses his condolences to Tony, but does not seem to be particularly moved by the horse's death. He and Tony go into the kitchen where Ralph is preparing eggs on the stove. Ralph seems to be more focused on informing Tony of Justin's improving condition, but Tony keeps bringing the conversation back to the dead horse. When Tony theorizes Ralph could have set the fire intentionally to collect the insurance, Ralph angrily assures Tony he had nothing to do with it. Tony asks him if he had heard from Corky Ianucci lately - an expert arsonist who was responsible for setting Artie Bucco's restaurant on fire. Ralph gets enraged, saying that Tony doesn't care about him having to beat up innocent people just as long as he gets his money, and then makes a snide remark about him caring so much about a horse while he eats meat at his desk. In a furious rage, Tony punches Ralph, knocking him across the kitchen. The two scuffle briefly, with Ralph unsuccessfully defending himself with pots, pans, a knife, and Raid spray. The fight culminates with Tony shouting at Ralph as he strangles him and bashes his head against the kitchen floor until he finally dies.
Tony enlists Christopher Moltisanti - at an untimely moment as Christopher has just shot up heroin and is nodding out on the sofa - to help dispose of the body, explaining that Ralph was already dead when he arrived. Even in a heroin-induced daze, Christopher does not seem to buy Tony's version but also does not mind what has happened much. Christopher cuts off Ralph's head along with his hands, placing them in a bowling bag, discovering in the process that Ralph is bald and wears a wig. When night falls, Christopher and Tony dispose of Ralph's body by throwing it over a cliff into a quarry. They take his head and hands to Mikey Palmice's hospitalized father's farm. Because the ground is frozen, Tony uses a backhoe to dig up a hole, while he scolds Christopher for his drug use. Christopher tells Tony that Ralphie "getting whacked" could be a problem, to which Tony replies, "You're the only other one who knows about it." The men shower at Bada Bing and get rid of their clothes which are to be burned.
Tony awakens at the strip club the next morning, calling Christopher's name, but realizes he has already left. Tony then sees a picture of Tracee on the mirror, the Bada Bing stripper who was killed by Ralph. Tony then throws open the back door of the club, and walks from the darkness into the blinding daylight of the next day.
Deceased[edit]
Pie-O-My and several other horses: Killed in a stable fire. Cause is deemed accidental by insurance company.
Ralph Cifaretto: beaten and strangled to death by Tony Soprano due to suspicion that he caused the fire that killed Pie-O-My, which Ralph denies. His body is then dismembered and decapitated with the help of Christopher Moltisanti.
Title reference[edit]
Tony uses the phrase "whoever did this" when discussing with Christopher who exactly was responsible for Ralphie's death. Earlier, he used the phrase in reference to the guilty party responsible for the prank call to Paulie's mother. In both instances, the people listening most likely already know whom "whoever" actually is, but do not want to publicly utter the name.
The title may also refer to the stable fire and Tony's suspicions of Ralphie.
Connections to prior episodes[edit]
When Tony confronts Ralph about the fire, he asks him about Corky Ianucci. Tony believes Ralph hired him to start the stable fire which killed Pie-O-My. Corky was also apparently used by Silvio to help blow up Vesuvio, the restaurant owned by Artie Bucco, in the pilot episode.
When Tony looks in the mirror the morning after killing Ralph, he sees a picture of Tracee, the Bada Bing stripper whom Ralph killed in the episode "University."
In "University," Tony and Silvio remark that Tracee the stripper is a good looking "thoroughbred." Pie-O-My is also a good-looking thoroughbred, and Ralph is suspected of killing them both.
In "University," Ralph was particularly obsessed with gladiator films, quoting Ridley Scott's Gladiator and watching Kubrick's Spartacus. Ralph himself dies in a violent duel to the death.
In "The Weight", Johnny Sack tells Ralph "I should've let Tony chop off your head a year ago." Ironically, this indeed happens to Ralph.
Other cultural references[edit]
Carmela is seen wearing a Columbia University T-shirt when talking to Tony and her son in the kitchen.
After Ralph's murder, Tony and Christopher watch The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954) on Ralph's television. The film is loosely based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, "Babylon Revisited."
Music[edit]
"When I Need You" by Leo Sayer is playing when Ralph is in the bath.
The Moonglows' original recording of "Sincerely" plays while Carmela and Rosalie dine at Vesuvio.
The song played over the end credits is "The Man with the Harmonica" by Apollo 440. It is originally from the Ennio Morricone score of Once Upon a Time in the West, a Sergio Leone film. The man with the harmonica was played by Charles Bronson.
Though not heard, the song Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones is referenced three times through various dialogue directly alluding to Ralph as the devil. Ralph to surgeon: "Please, allow me to introduce myself." Father Intintola to Ralph: "Were you there, when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain?" Tony to Paulie: "Paulie, his kid's in the hospital. A little fuckin' sympathy, huh?". The references allude to the fact that Ralph in this episode for the first time is portrayed somewhat sympathetically.
True-crime inspiration[edit]
Jason Bautista was convicted of killing his mentally ill mother in Riverside, California on January 14, 2003, then dumping her decapitated body with its hands removed off Ortega Highway in Orange County. Jason's half-brother, Matthew Montejo, who was 15 years old when Jason killed their mother, testified in court that he helped dispose of her body, and that they got the idea to chop off her head and hands to hide the crime from this episode.[1][2]
Awards[edit]
"Whoever Did This" was Joe Pantoliano's 2003 winning submission for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Episode recap[edit]
Paulie Walnuts is concerned about his mother's welfare when she finally makes the move to the Green Grove Retirement Home. Quickly, Nucci is excited to reunite with old friends Cookie Cirillo and Minn Matrone. While Nucci is in the restroom, the elderly women inform Paulie that Nucci will not be allowed to play cards with or eat lunch with them since they are a set group. Paulie insists that they make room and be respectful to his mother. On casino night, Nucci is ostracized by Cookie after Nucci ruins a game of blackjack. Nucci then confines herself to her room, which begins to worry Paulie. An angry Paulie pays a visit to the Green Grove director, demanding their actions to integrate his mother into the social life of the residence, but the director tries to explain that Nucci's reclusiveness is a period of transition and that she should also make her own contributions to change her embarrassing behavior to other residents, such as crying constantly and not putting her dentures in. In spite of this, Paulie also visits Cookie's son, Chuckie, a high school principal. After giving him a rolling suitcase as a gift, Paulie discusses Nucci and Cookie's relationship with him and asks Chuckie to talk to his mother about getting along with Nucci. Chuckie tries to convince Paulie that he cannot intervene in his mother's social life. When relations between the women do not improve, Chuckie is later seen chased through his high school's hallway by members of Paulie's crew (Benny Fazio and "Little Paulie" Germani) and has his right arm broken. Chuckie's wife then threatens to take the stubborn Cookie out of the nursing home if Cookie does not make peace with Nucci.
Meanwhile, seeing Pie-O-My at the stables, Tony Soprano meets Ralph Cifaretto's new girlfriend, the Cuban-Italian Valentina La Paz, who seems to have a penchant for making practical jokes. Valentina convinces Tony to have a painted portrait made of him with the horse, Pie-O-My, and soon Tony and Valentina retreat to a hotel room and have sex. Valentina continues to date Ralph, and Tony buys her an expensive diamond horseshoe pin as a parting gift. Valentina objects (she still wants to see Tony), and complains to him that her sex life with Ralph consists mostly of his masochistic fetishes. Dr. Melfi suggests that Tony is reluctant to "cuckold" Ralph, and in fact Tony continues to push Valentina away until she informs him she broke up with Ralph and he gets confirmation from Janice, by agreeing to pay her $3,000 for the information, that Ralph really does have unusual sexual tendencies.
As a part of a long-term plan formed a few episodes earlier, Tony starts giving directions to his underlings through pay phone calls to Christopher Moltisanti, and informs his lawyer he is making steps to isolate himself from incriminating discussions.
Carmela, who seems to be infatuated with Furio Giunta, empathizes with him when he leaves for Naples, Italy to attend his father's funeral. While in Italy, Furio discusses his homesickness with his uncle, but mentions that what is pulling him back to America is a woman. When Furio confides that the woman is the don's wife, he is warned not to pursue the relationship any further, since it would be considered an act of treason and disrespect, would likely be discovered and would get him killed. The uncle goes on to tell him that the only way he could have Carmela is if he killed Tony. Furio says that he understands.
At home, when Tony plays a joke on a showering Carmela by emptying a glass of cold water over her, she does not seem impressed and when she discovers a broken false fingernail in Tony's clothes, it infuriates her. She vents her anger by stealing Tony's keys to the duck feed bin (while Tony was showering), taking two bound stacks of money he had hidden there, and investing it with several stock brokers in $9,900 segments (in order to avoid the $10,000 mandatory notification of the IRS). After recounting the hidden money, Tony discovers that there is some missing. Before having a chance to talk about it with Carmela, he discovers the false nail, which Carmela left on his nightstand next to his car keys. Tony walks downstairs, where Carmela is reading the newspaper. He asks for coffee, which she makes, and, noticing his demeanor, asks Tony if he wishes to discuss anything. He says no. A.J. comes downstairs and Tony asks if he had been in the backyard. After A.J. denies being in the backyard and leaves, Carmela again asks Tony if he wishes to talk about anything. He declines, and asks Carmela the same. She responds likewise.
First appearances[edit]
Valentina La Paz: An art dealer and Ralph's girlfriend, who quickly falls for Tony.
Minn Matrone: Friend of Paulie's mother, Nucci Gualtieri at Green Grove.
Deceased[edit]
Furio's father: Cancer
Title reference[edit]
The phrase mergers and acquisitions refers to the aspect of corporate finance strategy and management dealing with the merging and acquiring of different companies as well as other assets. In the episode it could allude to:
Carmela's acquisition of Tony's cash, putting it into long-term investments
Tony's acquisition of Cousin Brian as a financial advisor and involvement of Brian in secrets from Carmela and from Brian's wife, Janelle Cammarata
Tony's acquisition of Ralph's horse
Tony's acquisition of Valentina
References to other media[edit]
Janice watches Robot Wars on television, the commentator is Jonathan Pearce
Tony watches the 1993 film, The Fugitive (which includes cast mate Joe Pantoliano) on his new widescreen television
Tony references the movie Hud, which starred Paul Newman, when Carmela's cousin mistakenly references the HUD scam to Carmela at dinner.
When Tony shows Carmela the new media center he has installed in the pool house, she replies that she will pick up the movie, In the Bedroom, for them to watch.
When lying in bed Carmela is reading The Mists of Avalon, a 1983 novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Under the shower Tony sings Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd.
In his meeting with Dr. Melfi, Tony talks of how in the olden days mafia men would take their mistresses out on Fridays and their wives on Saturdays. This could be a reference to Goodfellas, in which Lorraine Bracco (Melfi) plays gangster Henry Hill's wife. Tony also almost matches Ray Liotta's dialogue from the film when, as Henry, he is explaining the same custom: ('Friday nights were for the wives, but Saturday was always for the girlfriends'). This is particularly relevant as The Sopranos creator, David Chase, refers to Goodfellas as his Koran.[citation needed]
Ralph refers to Valentina as "my Chiquita Banana" and "the Mambo Queen".
A distraught Nucci tells Paulie that in an effort to be friendly, she bought Cookie a card from the gift shop (to no effect.) She says "I cared enough, and I sent the very best" a reference to the Hallmark slogan.
Carmela watches the contemporaneous television show Mario Eats Italy. The ponytail of the host, Mario Batali, sends her into reverie about Furio.
Music[edit]
Tony listens to "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominos on his new entertainment center. He comments that "it's like Clapton's sitting right there in your house."
The bagpipe music Tony listens to on the entertainment system is "The Inverness Gathering," performed by the Edinburgh City Police Pipe Band.
Tony falls asleep in front of his home theater and wakes up as Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon approaches its end. The closing track "Eclipse" is heard when he wakes. Later in the episode, when he is under the shower, he can be heard singing fragments from "Another Brick in the Wall part two" also by Pink Floyd.
Parts of "Vesuvio" by Spaccanapoli (previously heard in "The Weight") play whenever Carmela remembers Furio.
The song played over the end credits is "When the Battle is Over" by Delaney & Bonnie.

Episode recap[edit]
Paulie Walnuts gets out of jail and a huge party is thrown for him at the Bada Bing!. The next day, Tony and Ralphie get an idea from Brian Cammarata to defraud the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) fund with bogus housing deals. Tony recruits Assemblyman Zellman and a friend of his, Maurice Tiffen, the formerly idealistic head of a non-profit low income housing program, to put the plan into action. They also recruit Dr. Ira Fried as a straw buyer to initially buy derelict, poor neighborhood property. After one of their clandestine business meetings at a sauna, Zellman privately confesses to Tony that he met and has been seeing Tony's ex-girlfriend Irina and asks Tony's approval. Tony seems to be understanding and claims he is happy Irina is no longer his problem. Later, during an unannounced visit at Zellman's house, Tony finds Irina making lunch for him and learns Zellman is paying for her English language classes.
Adriana's surreptitious meetings with the FBI continue. After seeing a television drama show on television, she gets the idea that a spouse cannot be forced to testify against her marital partner. Believing the FBI will stop hassling her if they can't use her testimony, she asks Christopher to finally set a date for their wedding. But, when he mentions having children, she also tearfully reveals him she could be sterile which greatly angers her fiancé and sends him storming out in a fit of rage. Christopher gets high on heroin and seeks advice from his crime family members who (except Paulie) urge him to marry Adriana regardless, with Tony believing modern medicine could solve infertility and Silvio jokingly cautioning him he could become like Junior or Paulie by being single. Christopher returns to his fiancée and agrees to marry her. Adriana discloses the news to her friends and family, with Carmela being the first to hear about the marriage plans. However, later, during a casual conversation with her friend when trying out a wedding dress, she finds out that marital privilege may not apply to her after all. She secretly goes to a lawyer, who tells her that marital privilege will only apply to conversations that take place after they get married, are not in the presence of a third party, and do not further any criminal enterprise. As no incriminating conversation she's ever had with Christopher meets all these criteria, marriage will not solve her legal problems. This is reinforced by the FBI agents, who discuss the likelihood of her nuptials among themselves and voice no serious objection, in fact being marginally in favor of the proposed union. Adriana is later seen cheerlessly unwrapping her bridal shower presents in front of friends and family.
Tony takes A.J. for a ride describing for him his family's proud history of dedication to work by showing him the church in Newark that his stonemason grandfather helped build and teaching him a business lesson to buy real estate by taking him to see the run-down houses that he bought for the HUD scam. However, to A.J., his interest in the old times goes only as far as to being surprised how little room service would cost in hotels back then. A. J. only gets impressed by his father when he talks back to and insults a drug dealer and his crack-addicted sister. Tony speaks out about his frustration with his son to Dr. Melfi, but she shifts her focus to warning Tony to control his unacceptable outbursts of anger against her during their psychotherapy sessions.
Before selling the acquired real estate to the federal government, Tony tells Assemblyman Zellman that the crack addicts should be moved out, especially since there is about $7,000 in copper piping where they squat, and threatens him with a lighter payment if the situation is unresolved. Since using white thugs in the ghetto would rouse suspicion and believing police would only solve the situation temporarily, Maurice Tiffen is paid a visit by Zellman and, after similar threats of earning less from the deal, told to take care of it by sending in some "gang-bangers." Four young armed teens show up at the property. They shoot in the air and beat the squatters with baseball bats, including the family previously seen by Tony and A.J., while a small child watches. During the raid, the man of the family catches a ricochet bullet and is wounded in his genitalia. Later, a crew led by Vito Spatafore can be seen ripping the houses apart for copper and "mantle pieces." Dr. Fried sells the land to Tiffen's organization at three times his purchase price, based on fraudulent appraisals, and receives his sale price with funds loaned from HUD. Zellman and Tiffen get paid at the Bing. They discuss the deal and dispense with their lingering moral compunctions. Tony awards Brian with a Patek Philippe watch worth $15,000.
Elsewhere, Carmela and Furio Giunta's tentative flirtation continues, as he calls her with the pretense of looking for his missing sunglasses. Later on, when Furio goes to pick up Tony in the morning, he refuses Carmela's offers to come inside for coffee, claiming he needs to sit in the car because it is having engine problems.
Meanwhile, Paulie is giving up more information in his meetings with Johnny Sack. They meet for a meal at the River Cafe in Brooklyn and he divulges the HUD scheme, while also seeking assurance from Johnny that their discussions are kept private.
At the end of the episode, while driving, Tony hears the Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl" on the radio and becomes teary. He stops at Assemblyman Zellman's house, finding Irina there. He goes upstairs where he finds Zellman and beats him with his belt, causing Zellman to cry in front of Irina.
Title reference[edit]
Adriana watches the TV series Murder One and learns that she doesn't have to turn state's evidence against Christopher if they get married. But, her friend tells her that according to an episode of Murder, She Wrote, that is not always the case.
Other cultural references[edit]
Silvio makes a reference to the movie Papillon to Paulie when they first meet each other after he gets out of jail, naming Paulie after the eponymous character who was sentenced to live in a penal colony on Devil's Island.
Paulies tells Johnny Sack he missed Good & Plenties while in prison.
In separate scenes Adriana watches Murder One and The A-Team on television.
Tony listens to WCBS-FM.
Connections to prior episodes[edit]
Like he did with Meadow in the pilot episode, Tony takes A.J. to see the church his grandfather built when he first came to the U.S. from Avellino.
Music[edit]
The song played to welcome Paulie back ("Paulie's song") is "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)" by Frank Sinatra; it's never explained why it's significant to him.
The song which is played over the end credits is "Oh Girl" by The Chi-Lites. The song was also heard earlier at the Russian bath house, where Tony, Zellman and Tiffen discuss it.
In the diner scene where Brian, Tony, and Ralph discuss the HUD scam, a muzak version of "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" by Steely Dan plays in the background.
When Zellman and Tony are talking in the changing room after the sauna, the Booker T. & the M.G.'s song "Green Onions" is playing.
During a discussion between Tony and Christopher, the Foghat song "Slow Ride" is playing in the background.
On Tony's car radio, en route to Assemblyman Zellman's house, "Oh Girl" is preceded by "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman–Turner Overdrive.

Episode recap[edit]
Christopher is still injecting heroin and has just taken a hit and started to fall asleep when he gets a call from Tony, who wants to see him. When Christopher arrives, Tony notices his intoxication. But, Christopher passes it off as being from wine he drank with Adriana. Tony tells Christopher that Tony is going to be giving orders through him in the future because of their family ties and that Christopher "will take the family into the 21st century."
A.J. hangs out with his friends Matt Testa, Patrick Whalen and Jason Malatesta, and his girlfriend Devin Pillsbury. They discuss his father's involvement in organized crime and if their family's life is similar to the one depicted in The Godfather films. When A.J. reveals that Tony co-owns the Bada Bing! strip club, the group decides to visit. Unfortunately, A.J. gets confused and they end up at Satriale's instead.
In bed, Tony and Carmela discuss Furio Giunta. She wants to set him up with her dental hygienist, Liz DiLiberto. She also tells him she has learned that Gloria Trillo recently killed herself, by hanging herself from a chandelier. Tony can barely conceal his shock at this news. He goes to Globe Motors himself to find out more details. Later, in his therapy session, he angrily confronts Dr. Melfi, blaming her for Gloria's death. She stands up to him and tells him that she gives her patients everything she has. Tony relents and reveals that he is actually feeling guilty himself, as he could have cared more for Gloria. But, instead, he cut off their relationship.
Artie Bucco has a new French hostess at Nuovo Vesuvio, Élodie Colbert, and his relationship with Charmaine seems even more strained. Élodie's brother, Jean-Philippe, has a business proposition for Artie: he wants to borrow money to buy distribution rights for Armagnac, claiming it to be "the new vodka." Artie is sucked in by the deal and tries to borrow money from Ralph Cifaretto. Ralphie refuses because he would not be able to hurt Artie if he did not pay Ralph back. Later, Tony learns of this and visits Artie at home, offering the money himself, upset that Artie didn't come to him first.
Just after stepping out of Artie's home, Tony takes a bottle of Armagnac and drinks it straight from the bottle. He then has a dream about Gloria. Still carrying the now near-empty bottle, he visits her home and finds her in a black dress, very similar to the one she wore the night Tony showed up late for her dinner, but with the addition of a long, black, silky scarf around her neck. She invites him in, saying that dinner is almost ready. As the Aquatones play quietly in the background, Tony and Gloria happily toast the occasion, she from a glass, and he with the bottle. Gloria then pulls out a chair for Tony at her table. As Tony sits in the chair with Gloria in his lap, they gaze into each other's eyes, and Tony begins to kiss and caress her. Just then the oven rings, and Gloria rises to tend to the roast. As she walks over to the oven, her long scarf drapes across Tony, and is stretched around his neck before falling to the floor. While Gloria is basting the meat, tiny bits of plaster begin to fall down in front of Tony. When he looks up, he sees that the ceiling is cracked, and the chandelier is under great stress, almost as if it is being pulled out. Gloria is suddenly back at the table and offers Tony a choice between seeing what she has under her dress or under her scarf. Noticing that Tony's eyes are fixed on her neck, she smiles, then reaches to remove her scarf. It causes Tony to wake up with a start. He makes his way to the bathroom for some medication.
Brian Cammarata, the Sopranos' new financial advisor, pays them a visit and Tony signs the papers for a new living trust, to Carmela's delight. Tony also puts Brian in touch with Patsy Parisi, as he spots Brian's taste for fine tailoring.
Later, A.J. and his girlfriend, Devin, are interrupted by Carmela while making out on the sofa. They leave to find somewhere quiet. Devin orders car service to take them to Meadow's work at South Bronx, as A.J. thinks she might let them use her dorm room at Columbia University in New York City. They are shocked by the neighborhood where Meadow volunteers and disappointed when she does not allow them to use her room for sex. A.J. discusses with his girlfriend how he "lucked out" to have been born in a rich family when other people have to struggle to make a living. Later on, A.J. and Matt visit Devin at her house, which is vast, protected by security guard posts, and filled with such artifacts as Picasso original paintings and a mint condition first pressing of The Beatles' Rubber Soul. A.J. is shocked and somewhat intimidated by Devin's wealth and tells her she should have said something.
Tony continues his string of good deeds by organizing a night at a Billy Joel concert for Carmela, Christopher, Adriana, Brian, and his wife, Janelle Cammarata. Adriana pulls out, afraid of spending too much time with the people she is supposed to be collecting evidence about. This makes way for Carmela's planned date for Furio and Liz, although once they are there, she seems less than happy with her matchmaking. Tony also treats Janice to dinner at Nuovo Vesuvio. They get along well for once, remembering their mother's fondness for sucking marrow out of bones. Tony congratulates Janice on her relationship with Bobby Baccalieri. Janice responds by telling Tony that he always reaches out to her when it counts.
Artie delivers Tony's money to Jean-Philippe outside Nuovo Vesuvio, trying to avoid Charmaine noticing anything. Later, he is unable to get hold of Jean-Phillipe on the phone. But, Élodie distracts Artie by flirting with him. Artie eventually decides to visit Jean-Philippe at home, prepping himself in the mirror and rehearsing the conversation on the way, trying to look as intimidating as possible. When they meet, Jean-Philippe implies that he will not be able to repay the debt, and Artie attacks him. Jean-Philippe gets the better of it and rips out Artie's earring before throwing him out. Artie goes home, overdoses on alcohol and pills, and calls Tony, who has just finished having sex with an Icelandic woman. Artie apologizes and declares himself a failure. Tony deduces that his friend is trying to kill himself, so he phones an ambulance.
When he visits Artie in the hospital, Tony is angry and sympathetic at the same time. After mentioning that Artie missed his first payment, Tony allows Artie to clear his tab at Nuovo Vesuvio in lieu of payment and then assumes responsibility for collecting the debt, so that Artie no longer owes him money. Artie expresses admiration that Tony can "think 20 steps ahead" by subconsciously foreseeing the deal going bad. Tony is furious at the suggestion. Later in therapy, he tells Dr. Melfi about Artie and then of his decision to put it behind him by donating money to a suicide hotline in Gloria's name. Later, Jean-Philippe opens his door to Furio, who was sent by Tony to collect the debt. The episode closes with A.J. hanging out with his friends and being unable to answer the question as to why his dad does not have "Don Corleone money."

Devin Pillsbury: A.J.'s girlfriend.
Matt Testa: A.J.'s friend.
Deceased[edit]
Gloria Trillo: Tony learns of Gloria's suicide by hanging in this episode.
Title reference[edit]
The episode's title refers to the emotional difficulties faced by Tony, Artie, Gloria, and Dr. Melfi.
It also refers to the R.E.M. song of the same name about resisting the impulse to commit suicide in times of suffering.
Cultural references[edit]
When Tony asks Janice if she knows anyone that has committed suicide, Janice responds by saying "I lived in Seattle". This could be a reference to Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana frontman who allegedly killed himself; he began his music career and died in Seattle.
Music[edit]
Armand Van Helden's "Kentucky Fried Flow" is played when Christopher and his friend are seen in a bathroom and his friend is vomiting, while Christopher is looking in the mirror after shooting heroin.
Weezer's "Island in the Sun" is played during the conversation between Carmela and Adriana at the gym.
"I Only Have Eyes For You", by The Flamingos, is played in the scene where Tony has lunch with Janice.
D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" is used as diegetic music when A.J. and Devin are on the couch in the Soprano home.
The Aquatones's "You" plays as Tony dreams about Gloria.
Though it is not played during the episode, The Beatles' 1965 Rubber Soul album is featured in one scene, wherein a mint copy was part of Devin's father's record collection.
"Ballin' Out Of Control" - Jermaine Dupri, Featuring Nate Dogg
"Em'Ma" - Manu Dibango
"Tout Simplement" - Bibie
Billy Joel's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" is played in a scene near the end, where Tony, Carmela and their guests have a meal at an Italian restaurant, presumably following the Billy Joel concert.
The song played over the end credits is "Take Me for a Little While" by Dave Edmunds.

Episode recap[edit]
Ralph Cifaretto's racehorse, "Pie-O-My", wins a couple of races and makes a lot of money. Ralph gives Tony Soprano some of the winnings for picking the winning strategies. Tony grows fond of the horse, eventually referring to it as "our girl," in direct contrast to Ralph, who brusquely instructs the trainer – speaking of the jockey – to "tell that midget not to be shy with the whip." As Ralph continues to give Tony a "taste" of the prize earnings, Tony's growing expectation of an increasing share of the winnings creates tension between the two.
Carmela asks Tony to invest in some stock and sign some financial papers, among them a life insurance trust. Tony's accountant advises against the life insurance trust since it would be advantageous to Carmela only in the instance of Tony's death and would cause Tony problems in case of a divorce. When Tony eventually signs some of the papers, including one that authorizes Carmela's cousin Brian to invest in stock on their behalf, he refuses to put his signature under the life insurance trust, claiming it would allow the government authorities to trace their illegal finances, leaving his wife disappointed and frustrated. When Tony later, trying to make up to her, offers her money to purchase the stock she mentioned, Carmela angrily announces that it has already split and they've missed their chance.
Adriana La Cerva is unhappy that her rock club, the Crazy Horse, is now being used as a meeting place for various mob members. She also grows extremely paranoid that her activities as an informant will be discovered. The FBI handlers continue to press her for information, arranging meetings with her that interrupt her daily activities and assigning a new female agent, Robyn Sanseverino, to be her contact. The agents claim to Adriana that Christopher is in danger by working with dangerous criminals; they deny her assumption that Richie Aprile and "Pussy" Bonpensiero's disappearances were due to them entering the witness protection program and tell her she could help Christopher by cooperating with them. Adriana avoids going out with Christopher for dinner with Tony Soprano, pretending to be sick, and later approaches her fiancé with an idea to move to California to start a new life there. But, Chris dismisses her worries about him as negativity. Adriana finally gives the FBI their first bit of information when she mentions Patsy Parisi's steady income of likely illegal suits. After returning home, she relieves stress with an injection of Chris' heroin.
Janice Soprano takes an interest in Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri. She interferes in a conversation between the new widower and Mikey Palmice's widow JoJo Palmice, then gives the dinner that JoJo had made for Bobby to Junior Soprano. In trying to get closer to Bobby, Janice takes credit for Carmela's lasagna and also counsels him to put his grief behind him by focusing more on his work. After she tells him that Junior is counting on him, Bobby pulls himself together and completes a neglected task for Junior: meeting with a union shop steward to intimidate him into changing his vote in an upcoming election.
Meanwhile, when Junior catches the report of his court appearance on TV, he is displeased by the unflattering likeness painted by the courtroom artist. During the next day's proceedings, he fixes the artist with an intimidating stare.
With veterinarian's fees for Pie-O-My piling up, the vet refuses further treatment until he is paid. Ralph, however, refuses to take action when the horse becomes sick during the night, passing along Tony's number; Tony rushes to the stables and settles the bill. Tony tells the vet he'd better hope the horse "makes it" before going into the stall to sit with the animal, where he comfortingly strokes her neck, telling her that everything will be all right.
First appearances[edit]
Agent Robyn Sanseverino: The F.B.I. agent assigned to handle Adriana.
Title reference[edit]
The episode's title is the name of Ralph's race horse, Pie-O-My.
Connections to other episodes[edit]
Christopher refers to the ominous appearance of a raven when he was "made" in the episode, "Fortunate Son."
References to other media or events[edit]
At the stables, Hesh references Seabiscuit, who was, at the time, a frequent pop culture reference due to the popularity of the book about him. This episode aired before the release of the 2003 motion picture of the same name.
A scene in this episode pays homage to Mr. Rogers' performance of "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Junior takes a cardigan sweater out of his closet and says: "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...and I gotta rot in that courtroom".
In a scene where Adriana was at home watching television, she was watching a Body by Jake infomercial.
In a scene where Tony is lying in his bed watching TV (prior to receiving the call from the stables about the horse being sick), he makes a comment to Carmela about a "Churchill TV movie". This might be a reference to The Gathering Storm (2002 film), a BBC–HBO co-produced television biographical film about Winston Churchill, which aired in April that same year, six months before this episode.
Music[edit]
The song played over the end credits is "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson, from the 1959 Western Rio Bravo. Tony is seen watching this movie (and specifically, the scene in which the song appears) in the Season Four premiere, "For All Debts Public and Private".
The song heard from A.J.'s room when Tony is in bed is "The Gift That Keeps On Giving" by Deicide from their album Insineratehymn.
Snake River Conspiracy's cover of The Cure's Lovesong plays in the Crazy Horse club.

Episode recap[edit]
Johnny Sack is conversing with a New York mobster, Joey "Peeps," in a bar in Little Italy. While there, Johnny spots a member of Ralph Cifaretto's crew, Donny K., and is infuriated to see him laughing and joking with the bartender, reminding him of the insulting joke Ralph had made about John's wife, Ginny, to a group of mob family insiders. As Donny K. gets up to leave, Johnny follows him outside, beats him into unconsciousness, and urinates on him. Tony Soprano learns of the encounter the following morning and is deeply troubled that Johnny inappropriately lashed out. Johnny informs Tony about Ralph's joke regarding Ginny's weight. Tony assures Johnny that the joke is "deplorable" but feels he has to protect his Capos, and Ralph is his highest earner.
Johnny then tries to convince the Lupertazzi family Boss, Carmine Lupertazzi, to arrange a hit on Ralph, but Carmine disallows this, citing Ralph's key role in the Esplanade construction project where "millions of dollars are at stake." Carmine states that a decent punishment could be a crippling "tax" on Ralph for his disrespectful and unprofessional attitude, but a hit is out of the question. Johnny rejects this course of action. Lupertazzi then convenes a series of sit-downs involving him, Johnny, Ralph, Tony, Silvio Dante, and, by speakerphone, Uncle Junior, in order to make a settlement since it may threaten the two families' relationship. But, Johnny walks out of both of them, refusing to negotiate. After failing to gain support from either Carmine or Junior, Johnny decides to act without authorization from Carmine and order a hitman to murder Ralph in Miami, Florida, where Tony sent him to vacation away from Jersey until the issue was resolved. Meanwhile, Carmine, who has determined that Johnny's uncompromising conduct is a threat to profits from the Esplanade, makes a veiled suggestion to Tony to have his underboss killed. Quite surprised, Tony is advised by Uncle Junior to put a hit on Johnny using the skills of an experienced longtime crew of hitmen from Rhode Island, Lou "DiMaggio" Gallina -- nicknamed for his use of a baseball bat as a murder weapon. Silvio and Christopher Moltisanti pay a visit to the Gallina crew and find them to now be elderly, but still ready to take the contract. They pay DiMaggio half of the money for the job, $10,000, and hand them a photo of John, suggesting making "him disappear" in Boston where he will be visiting his father. In Miami, however, events are already well in motion, as an assassin traces Ralph to his hotel. Back in New Jersey, Johnny leaves for Boston. But, after a few minutes, Johnny returns home having forgotten a sweater. In the laundry room of his home, he catches Ginny with a secret stash of sweets and junk food and yells at her for lying to him. Ginny begins to become emotional and tries to convince Johnny that she truly wants to lose weight. Johnny assures her he does not care about how she looks, as long as she is happy. His anger subsiding, he calls off the hit on Ralph at the last second and approaches Tony, offering reconciliation. Surprised, but relieved, Tony in turn cancels the contract on Johnny's life.
In sessions with her psychotherapist Dr. Elliot Kupferberg, Jennifer Melfi discusses her son Jason's loss of interest in education and his unwillingness to be in communication with his father, which Elliot attributes to him feeling helpless following Melfi's unavenged rape. Melfi says she feels a "fraud" giving advice on parenting to Tony Soprano when her own son is not acting well.
Meadow Soprano is urged by Kupferberg's daughter, Saskia, to join the South Bronx Law Center. Tony is not impressed, given the limited profitability associated with representing underprivileged clients and Meadow drifting away from her interest in becoming a pediatrician, something Tony would love her to be. Meadow disagrees with her father's advice and continues to volunteer.
Meanwhile, Carmela is discontent and hurt by Tony's reluctance to engage in their family's financial security planning with her financial adviser cousin, Brian Cammarata. Carmela is drawn emotionally closer to Furio Giunta. She takes along a discontented A.J. as a chaperone on a ride to visit Furio at his new house to advise him on land zoning regulations. Later, when Furio throws a housewarming party to celebrate his new home, the pair dance together to sensual Italian music.
The following evening, as Tony and Carmela lie in bed, Tony presents Carmela with flowers and a slim designer dress from Saks Fifth Avenue, which he asks her to put on. Carmela does so, and Tony compliments her figure. They begin to kiss and, as they are about to have sex, Meadow plays the Italian music from the Furio housewarming party in the next room. This causes Carmela to interrupt Tony's advances, and bang on Meadow's bedroom door and tell Meadow to turn it down. After she turns it down and leaves, Tony and Carmela resume the intercourse, but Furio's party music is still playing in Carmela's head.
First appearances[edit]
Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli: Associate in the Lupertazzi crime family. Driver/bodyguard of Johnny Sack.
Brian Cammarata: Carmela's cousin and the family's "financial adviser."
Title reference[edit]
The title refers to the joke Ralph Cifaretto made about Ginny Sacrimoni's weight in "No Show," which Johnny Sack eventually learned about from Paulie Gualtieri; the joke which almost cost two arguing mobsters their lives.
The title could also refer to the emotional weight Carmela is feeling when she is caught between her responsibilities as a wife and mother and her burgeoning desire for Furio.
"The Weight" is also the title of The Band's most famous and well-known song. The episode title could be a nod to Martin Scorsese's rockumentary The Last Waltz, given Chase's many references to Scorsese's body of work.
References to other episodes[edit]
When Ralph calls Johnny Sack to deny he told the "mole joke," Johnny says that he "should have let Tony cut off [Ralph's] head a year ago", referring to when Ralph and Tony were on the outs and Tony was considering killing Ralph in the season 3 episode, "He Is Risen".
Other cultural references[edit]
When Tony was visiting Uncle Junior at his home, Junior was watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on television, commenting about a contestant who used up all his lifelines.
One of the elderly hit men that Paulie and Christopher meet is Frank Crisci. Crisci is played by Richard Bright who also played Al Neri, a Corleone family member and assassin, in all three Godfather movies. In the episode, the character talks about killing a "Tommy Neri," who was Al Neri's nephew in The Godfather.
Other Godfather references abound. When Tony comes to visit Ralphie, he is offered a bag of Florida oranges("Florida's finest."). In The Godfather, oranges are present whenever characters are murdered, or die. Part of the episode revolves around an attempted hit on Ralphie in Florida.

Episode recap[edit]
Silvio, intensely proud of his Italian heritage, wants to take action against protests for the Columbus Day Parade by Native Americans, believing it to be an insult to Italian-Americans. Without Tony's approval, Silvio, Patsy, and Artie Bucco, along with a few others, attempt to break up the demonstration where a Columbus effigy is to be burned. Silvio threatens them not to do so and sends Patsy to take it down. As they leave after being warned by the police, Little Paulie Germani has a glass bottle thrown at him and several others are injured. Tony learns about this and blames Silvio for intervening. Ralph Cifaretto, meanwhile, tries to threaten the protest leader, an associate professor of anthropology Del Redclay, to reconsider since Iron Eyes Cody—a popular Native American figure—is actually an Italian-American (which is true). Tony tries to pacify the situation by first asking Assemblyman Ron Zellman for his aid and later talking to an Indian chief to convince Redclay not to protest during the parade. Although this fails, the chief invites Tony and his crew to his casino to gamble. Both the parade and protest occur without mob intervention, which upsets Silvio. Tony tries to calm him down by telling him how proud he should be for what he has achieved in his life and not just his heritage.
Meanwhile, at a luncheon meant to instill Italian pride in women, the "mob wives" feel singled out when the speaker discusses the stereotypes of being an Italian in America. After the luncheon, Gabriella Dante lectures Father Phil Intintola on how much the wives, especially Carmela, have given to the parish, and that he had no right to bring in a guest speaker who intended to shame them about how they make a living.
In addition to Uncle Junior's RICO trial beginning, Paulie Walnuts begins to create tension between the two mob families when he tells Johnny Sack about the joke Ralph told regarding his wife's weight and how Tony sold Uncle Junior's warehouse on Frelinghuysen Avenue near the Riverfront Esplanade. Johnny Sack contacts Tony and demands a share of the profit since both crime families share the Esplanade and that it would be only fair if they shared the Frelinghuysen Avenue profit. Johnny is also conspicuously rude and stand-offish toward Ralph, going so far as to tell Tony to keep Ralph away from him. It is clear to Tony and Silvio that Johnny is angry with Ralph, but they are mystified as to why.
While stuck in traffic, Bobby Baccalieri receives a phone call from his son, who relays a message from his wife Karen asking him to buy some food on the way home. Bobby is annoyed about being asked to do the errand. He later feels great remorse after discovering his wife has died in the car accident that was causing the very traffic problems he had complained about.
At the wake, a devastated Bobby kneels in front her casket and loudly sobs. The wives of mobsters feel sympathy for Bobby and silently discuss that he supposedly never took a comare. Janice Soprano continues to sleep with Ralph Cifaretto (it is also revealed that Ralph enjoys kinky, BDSM-style sex) who splits with the grieving Rosalie Aprile. Ralph agrees to move in with Janice. However, after spending time with the widowed Bobby while on "ziti patrol" bringing food to his home, she is touched by his sincere grief for his lost wife. After discussing her relationship problems with her psychotherapist, who recommends that Janice not choose partners who are similar to her brother or father, Janice hastily breaks up with Ralph just as he is moving the last of his things into her house. They argue about him taking off his shoes at the door, and she pushes him, causing him to lose his balance and fall down half a flight of stairs. Ralph injures his back in the fall and threatens to kill her, causing her to run into her bedroom and lock the door, as Ralph gingerly hobbles back to his car, bags in hand.
First appearances[edit]
Pie-O-My: The race horse that Ralph Cifaretto buys and Tony admires.
Marty Schwartz: an associate of Hesh Rabkin who organizes the meeting between Tony Soprano and Chief Doug Smith.
Dan Castleman: the prosecutor in Junior's trial.
Deceased[edit]
Karen Baccalieri: wife of Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri; dies in a car accident.
Title reference[edit]
The title refers to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, the first European in several centuries to land in the Americas, in 1492. The controversy surrounding Christopher Columbus and the Columbus Day parade protests are referenced repeatedly in the episode.
Production[edit]
The judge presiding at Uncle Junior's trial, first appearing in this episode, is played by Randy Barbee, who also serves as an assistant director on the series.
Dan Castleman, who plays a prosecutor with the same name on the series, first appearing in this episode, also acts as a consultant for the show's writers, giving them expert advice on their questions about legal matters dealing with the Mafia. In his real-life career, Castleman spent 30 years in the Manhattan District Attorney's office as chief of the Rackets Bureau and then of Investigations.[1] Castleman would be credited for his contributions and given the title of a technical adviser starting with the second part of Season Six.
References to past episodes[edit]
Tony, in a rant directed at Silvio's vendetta against the Native American opposition to Columbus Day, talks about Gary Cooper, as 'the strong, silent type' and says how if Cooper were alive today he'd probably be a part of some victims' group. Tony went on a similar rant, directed at Dr. Melfi, in the pilot.
Other cultural/historic references[edit]
The speaker at the Italian women's pride event mentions such famous Italian brands as Moschino, Armani, Asiago, and Barolo. She also says Italian-Americans should not be exemplified by John Gotti, but instead by Rudolph Giuliani.
Carmela tells Tony that A.J.'s teacher told his students that Columbus would have been prosecuted for crimes against humanity if he lived today, just as Slobodan Milošević then currently (2002) was.
Tony says the casino owner asked him to have Frankie Valli come perform at his casino. Frankie Valli would later act on the series, beginning with season 5, as Rusty Millio, a Lupertazzi family capo.
In his conversation with Silvio, Tony reveals Silvio's daughter studies at Lackawanna College.
Tony refers to the movie High Noon where Gary Cooper, playing a sheriff, faces the Miller gang.
Tony tells Silvio they should take pride of their personal accomplishments rather than only of the Italian-American accomplishments, such as The Godfather or Chef Boyardee.
Controversy[edit]
The episode created a controversy when cast members of The Sopranos (specifically Dominic Chianese and Lorraine Bracco) were banned from marching in the Columbus Day Parade in New York City, despite an invitation to participate in the event by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.[2][3]
Music[edit]
The song played over the end credits is "Dawn" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
"Elevation" by U2 and "Waiting for Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez are both heard when Carmela and Rosalie are in the gym.

Episode recap[edit]
Meadow's recent lack of drive continues to worry her parents. Carmela tries to discuss her failure to register for classes but Meadow again uses Jackie Aprile, Jr.'s death as an excuse. She eventually reveals that she hasn't registered because she hopes to travel to Europe with her friend Misty. Tony discusses the problem with Dr. Melfi and she recommends a psychologist specializing in adolescents. Meadow agrees to see Dr. Wendy Kobler, who actually encourages Meadow's plans. This prompts a protracted family argument where Meadow confronts Tony with the truth about his business life by calling him "Mr. Mob Boss." Tony responds, quite emotionally, by telling her he did everything he could to save Jackie. She flees the house saying she has made up her mind. Meadow eventually goes to Columbia and registers for some courses while her parents worry if she has fled the country.
Carmela's flirtation with Furio Giunta continues and she continues to take pleasure in his morning visits to pick up Tony. Furio tells her he is planning to buy a house.
The crews have a birthday party for Albert Barese at Nuovo Vesuvio. Ralph Cifaretto makes an off-color joke about Ginny Sack's weight, saying she has had a "95-pound mole removed from her ass." While Paulie Walnuts is incarcerated, Patsy Parisi and Little Paulie Germani have arranged a sit-down on his behalf to discuss Ralphie's division of jobs at the Esplanade site. It takes place at Nuovo Vesuvio and Silvio Dante presides. After some haggling, they settle with five jobs: three no-works and two no-shows. Capo Paulie receives the first no-show job. Silvio announces that Tony wants Christopher Moltisanti as acting capo of Paulie's crew during his absence and gives Chris the second no-show job. This upsets Patsy, who believes he has seniority over Chris, as he has been a made man longer. Indeed, it was Patsy and not Christopher who negotiated the jobs in the meeting. The three no-work jobs are given to Paulie to distribute, and they go to Patsy, Benny, and Little Paulie.
As they leave the meeting, Chris jokes to Silvio that the first thing he will do is get wings in his hair—much like the gray "wing-like" hair Paulie has on the side of his head. Silvio is not amused; he is also put out by the promotion as he realizes that Chris is starting to usurp his place in Tony's inner circle. Chris later visits the construction site where Patsy, Benny Fazio, Little Paulie, Donny K. and Vito Spatafore are enjoying their no-work jobs. The guys have noticed valuable fiber optic cables lying around; they mention this to Chris and he seems interested.
When the cables go missing, Tony immediately calls Chris in to reprimand him. Tony tells him he is not seeing the financial potential of the construction contracts and that he is angry about the unwanted attention thefts will bring to their involvement in the job. Christopher goes home to get high and complain to Adriana. He also relays the rebuke to crew members Patsy and Little Paulie, but Patsy insists Chris gave him "a look" that he took as a go ahead.
Silvio approaches Tony about Patsy feeling marginalized by Chris' promotion. Tony doesn't seem too concerned. Patsy visits Silvio at the Bing and mentions some floor tiles at the site; Silvio tells him to steal them in spite of Tony's orders. Following this theft, Jack Massarone finds Tony playing golf with Artie Bucco and tells him about what has happened. An infuriated Chris drives straight to the Esplanade site despite being on his way to a prior engagement with Adriana at her mother's house. Chris argues with Patsy and the argument turns into violence. When an African-American construction worker threatens to phone the police, Patsy makes a "Ralph Bunche" reference and beats him with a scaffolding pole.
Adriana continues her friendship with "Danielle", an undercover FBI agent, arranging to meet her at the Crazy Horse. When they meet, Adriana discusses her fears that she may be unable to have children because of complications of an abortion she had before she was with Christopher. Danielle had been pushing Adriana to reveal Chris' involvement with the Mafia, so she is a little surprised with what she learnt. However, she sympathetically offers to recommend a good OBGYN that her sister knows in New York (she has actually just had an infant herself). Chris and Little Paulie arrive at the club and Chris gives Little Paulie some cocaine right in front of Danielle.
Ralphie and Janice's relationship continues and they are spending time at Janice's house. Tony arrives unexpectedly and Ralphie hides upstairs. When Tony finds his shoe, he warns Janice about getting involved with Ralph but she is unreceptive. Little Paulie visits his uncle, Paulie, in Youngstown, Ohio and gives him the news from the sitdown. Paulie asks if anyone has been to visit his mother and Little Paulie tells him nobody has, but that Tony sent a box of chocolates. Little Paulie relays Ralph's joke from Albert's birthday party, which Paulie does not find funny, very likely due to his budding partnership with Johnny Sack, as he himself had joked about Ginny's weight before.
Christopher and Adriana are spending the evening at Crazy Horse with Danielle. While the couple share a kiss, Christopher puts a hand on Danielle's thigh, which starts an argument between him and Adriana, and prompts Danielle to leave. Chris claims Danielle put his hand on her thigh and Adriana chooses to believe him. She stops returning Danielle's calls; when Danielle persisted in calling, Adriana called back, telling Danielle not to see her anymore. The FBI decides to bring Adriana in and reveal Danielle's true identity — Special Agent Deborah Ciccerone. Agent Harris accompanies agent Ciccerone to pick up Adriana. She is taken to meet with Chief Frank Cubitoso, where the agents tell her she can choose between up to twenty-five years in prison for possession and intent to supply cocaine (with an additional possible consequence of retribution by Tony Soprano for bringing an undercover agent to his and Moltisanti's homes, and the club) or begin co-operating with them by answering some questions. Overly anxious and extremely upset, Adriana promptly vomits all over the table and Chief Cubitoso.
Title reference[edit]
The title refers to the way the mob assigns paid jobs at a construction site to workers who never have to show up but continue to be paid. In the episode, the family splits the no show jobs between Ralph and Paulie's crews — Christopher and Paulie both receive a no show job. Also doled out are three no work jobs, in which a "worker" shows up for the titular job for the hours allocated but doesn't lift a finger doing actual work but, as depicted by Patsy, sit around in beach lounge chairs.
The title also refers to Meadow's decision. "No show" is the airline code for passengers who have bought the ticket but they do not show themselves at check-in points and therefore they miss the flight.
Production[edit]
Robert Funaro (Eugene Pontecorvo) is no longer billed in the opening credits although he continues to appear on the show.
Connections to prior episodes[edit]
Silvio, Patsy, and Little Paulie discuss the no show and no work jobs for Paulie's crew. In "...To Save Us All From Satan's Power", Paulie tells Tony that Tommy Angeletti, a contractor for Ralphie's Esplanade Project, owes him $100,000 from betting on college basketball. Since Ralphie held out Angeletti for more money, he is unable to pay back his debt. Paulie requests that Tony give him the jobs as compensation.
When Chris and Patsy get into a fight at the construction site, Chris warns Patsy that he didn't forget about his sniffing Adriana's underwear. Patsy responds that it wasn't he. This is a reference to the incident in "Second Opinion", wherein Paulie and Patsy barge into Chris and Adriana's apartment demanding their cut of Chris' score of designer shoes. While searching around, Chris spots Paulie, not Patsy, sniffing Adriana's underwear.
While talking to Dr. Kobler, Meadow mentions that she was irritated by Junior's singing Italian ballads at Jackie Jr.'s wake, and the attendees' sentimental reactions (in "Army of One").
Other cultural references[edit]
When Tony visits Janice at her house, the video he picks up is Faces of Death. He comments, 'Was The Sound of Music already rented?'
Chris pulls up to the construction site singing Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter", substituting the word 'douchebag' for 'lady'.
Meadow has an N*Sync poster up in her room at the Soprano home.
At Christopher and Adriana's house, Adriana watches Everybody Loves Raymond on television as Christopher gets high on heroin. Ray Romano's character and Tony Soprano's sanitation business share the "Barone" name.
Christopher shows Adriana some diamonds he got from a Harry Winston jewelry and says they "have more carats than Bugs Bunny."
During an argument with Meadow about traveling to Europe, Meadow mentions the travel website CheapTickets having a good package available.
While Ralphie clips his toenails on the bed, Janice is reading The Origin of Satan by Elaine Pagels.
Music[edit]
The song played over the end credits is the title track of Radiohead's 2000 album Kid A. This could refer to Meadow, who plays a large role in this episode, as being the first-born child, or "Kid A"
The live rock band playing (and lip-syncing) their original song "You" in Adriana's club is the real-life Jersey group The Swingin Neckbreakers.[1]

Episode Recap[edit]
A.J. Soprano has started at a new private school and Carmela is trying to help him by reading him excerpts from The New York Times, provided by his school for his social studies class, which lay unopened in his room. Tony Soprano collects The Star-Ledger at the end of his driveway and, once back to the house, asks about A.J.'s grades and clips his ear when A.J. tells him he has "revealed his own ignorance" by asking about grades only a few days into the term.
Carmela's mood visibly brightens when Tony's driver arrives but her smile fades when she sees it is Christopher Moltisanti, rather than Furio Giunta. Christopher is none too pleased to be driving Tony, but claims not to question his decision. While driving, they both check rear view mirrors for car models known to be favored by the FBI.
Tony and Uncle Junior meet in the office of Dr. Douglas Schreck (Junior's physician). Christopher, Bobby Bacala and Murf Lupo remain in the waiting room. Before entering the room, Junior flirts with a nurse by inviting her to Atlantic City, but she declines. The nurse later informs him that it's her last day at the office as she is going back to school.
Tony and Junior discuss the latter's need for more money to cover his mounting legal costs, being short on cash ever since his house arrest, and requests changing of their terms. Tony tells him of "a shortage" and angrily refuses to change the percentages. Tony suggests that Junior gets his "shy (illegal money-lending business) running right." Junior later decides to demote a noticeably confused Murf to soldier, and replace him with Bobby Bacala. Tony approves, and proposes they tell Bobby of the news right in the doctors office. Later that night, at Junior's home, his lawyer calls and speaks to Murf, who relays information that the FBI apparently has had a mole in Dr. Schreck's office who has been pulled to testify at his trial.
Carmela notices widow Angie Bonpensiero handing out free samples at a Pathmark supermarket, but does not approach her. This prompts Carmela to worry about her own financial security, as Tony is careful to always separate her from his professional contacts. When she asks Tony to provide money so she can make an investment, he tells her they need to belt-tighten and that there is no longer large amounts of money kept in the house. He then removes a large bag of cash from under his car seat and takes it into the pool house to store it in a hidden hole under a stone floor tile.
Tony has Chris take him to the Bada Bing where he vents his frustration by beating up hapless barman Georgie for wasting ice and talking out of turn. Chris, Silvio and Tony depart the Bing on foot to attend a meeting with the family's capos—Carlo Gervasi, Ally Boy Barese, Ray Curto, and Ralph Cifaretto in a neighboring industrial garage owned by the family (Ralph is still persona non grata at the Bing). Tony uses the meeting to harangue them about the lack of growth in the family's business as of late, telling them that the family's boss, Junior, desperately needs their financial support. Christopher is left outside with fellow soldier Vito Spatafore while the senior family members have their discussion.
Chris believes his return to driver status may be punishment for questioning Tony's judgment about the Jackie Aprile, Jr. situation. At home, Adriana is with Danielle, who unbeknownst to her is an FBI agent Deborah Ciccerone living with her husband, fellow FBI Agent Mike Waldrup, and their infant son. Christopher arrives home with several pieces of high-quality luggage, which Danielle asks about since "it looks like Gucci" and has transport tags still in place. Christopher is rude to Danielle, who then leaves against Adriana's wishes. He complains about his sudden demotion to Tony's driver and prepares to inject heroin between his toes (as to avoid noticeable tracks on his forearms). He offers Adriana to join him, but she declines.
Later, Tony buys bags of duck feed. When he gets the bags home, he uses them to store cash amongst the feed. Carmela notices that it is an odd time to buy duck feed. While out buying the feed, Tony meets with Assemblyman Zellman at a nearby café to discuss the Esplanade project and talk about real estate. Zellman tips him off that prices near the new project are likely to see a huge jump. Tony recalls that Junior owns a large warehouse on Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark that could potentially be a gold mine.
Carmela invites Rosalie Aprile and Ralph Cifaretto over for dinner, despite Tony's instructions not to. Rosalie is withdrawn and quiet over dinner, presumably on mood-altering drugs. In contrast, Ralph exuberantly tells stories to A.J. and a friend about a Harley-Davidson motorcycle he owned in his youth. Hugh and Mary De Angelis also attend. Ralph excuses himself to use the bathroom and Janice soon follows him, finding him snorting cocaine. She joins him and, after some initial hesitancy on Ralph's part, they have sex in the upstairs bathroom. While they are away, Tony notices their long absence by looking at both their empty chairs and his wristwatch. During the dinner, Adriana, accompanied by Danielle, visits to borrow a samovar from Carmela for Adriana's cousin's bridal shower. Tony is introduced to Danielle and is visibly attracted to her. Rosalie then shows her around the Soprano house. Meadow does not attend the dinner. Since Jackie Jr.'s death, she has not signed up for new classes as her sophomore year at Columbia University approaches.
Tony throws a party in a hotel suite preceded by a quick meeting with New York boss Carmine Lupertazzi. Christopher, Ralph, and Silvio also attend. Carmine discusses the success of the Esplanade, asks about Junior and chastises Tony for wearing shorts ("a don doesn't wear shorts") after hearing this from Johnny Sack, who is also present. Carmine and Johnny Sack leave while Furio Giunta arrives with a bevy of Icelandic Air stewardesses. Christopher smokes a heroin-laced joint in the bathroom with one of the girls; Ralph sleeps nude on a couch wearing a stewardess' pillbox hat. Christopher is worried when Tony bangs on the bathroom door and has him leave the party early. Tony has Christopher drive out to a Hooters restaurant in Wayne, New Jersey where Bobby Bacala soon pulls up behind them. Tony has been talking about "Dickie" Moltisanti, Christopher's late father, all day. Tony suddenly tells Christopher that the man who killed his father, Detective Lieutenant Barry Haydu, is in the restaurant having his retirement party from the police force. Tony said that Dickie and a gangster named Jilly Ruffalo had served time together. Jilly killed Dickie's cellmate, so Dickie later took out one of Jilly's eyes. Haydu murdered Dicky for Jilly, outside the Moltisantis' house. Christopher was always told it was a police officer that killed his father, but he believed that the man was dead. When asked why this hasn't been dealt with already, Tony answers that "he was useful," but that this ended today with his retirement. Tony gives Christopher Haydu's address "a house bought with cash" wishes him luck, and drives off in Bobby's car.
Christopher waits inside Haydu's home and knocks Haydu unconscious when he walks in. Christopher takes his gun holster, service weapon, and badge, and handcuffs him to a banister on the staircase. When Haydu regains consciousness, Christopher questions him about his involvement with his father's death. Haydu denies all knowledge and says that Christopher is being set up. Christopher replies that it doesn't make any difference because "he wants you dead." Christopher turns up the volume on the television. Haydu panics, breaks the wood banister, and scrambles across the floor yelling, "I'm sorry." Christopher then shoots Haydu with his own weapon. Before leaving, he takes the cash from Haydu's wallet (expecting more than the twenty-dollar bill there), wipes off the gun, and places it in Haydu's hand. Later that morning, Christopher goes to visit his mother, Joanne, and looks over the old photos of his father, including a Navy picture. Christopher asks if she ever misses his father. She replies, "Did I ever saddle you with a step-father?" As he leaves, he uses a magnet to attach the twenty-dollar bill to his mother's refrigerator.
Meanwhile Bobby and Tony eat dinner at a local diner and discuss Bobby's promotion, and how he has coped with his own father's death. Afterwards, they go to Junior's house where Murf meets them in the basement and tells of the FBI mole. Bobby's wife, Karen Baccalieri, has come over with their children to prepare a meal for Junior. Existence of the mole has deeply upset Junior. He believes it must have been the nurse with whom he flirted and now regrets the humiliation that he "will have to face her across the courtroom." They discuss what the FBI may have learned from the ploy. Tony offers Junior one-hundred thousand dollars for his warehouse on Frelinghuysen Avenue, lying to him that it's to help him with his financial difficulties. Junior accepts the offer. But, he is despondent about his life, telling Tony he is an "old man who is going to trial."
Meanwhile, Paulie Walnuts has been arrested in Youngstown, Ohio on a gun charge (hence his absence from the earlier meeting with Tony, Silvio and the other family capos), while en route to Steubenville to see Dean Martin's birthplace. From a jailhouse payphone, he calls Johnny Sack who tells him that nobody has mentioned to him why Paulie was imprisoned, just that he was. Paulie is bothered by this and relates the story: he was visiting a friend, Lenny Scortese, and they got caught with a gun from an unsolved homicide in their car. Johnny seems keen to cultivate his friendship with Paulie that began after Paulie started to feel neglected by Tony in favor of Ralph and the Esplanade project. Johnny reached out to Paulie through his nephew to request the phone call.
In therapy, Tony discusses Carmela pressuring him over the family's future and Uncle Junior's current situation. When Tony discusses his future in terms of two endings, death or prison, Dr. Melfi is initially shocked by his candor and asks him why he doesn't "just give it up." Tony tells her there is a possible third option and that he has a plan to avoid either outcome, by relying solely "on blood relations," bonding Christopher ever stronger to him (using methods he can not disclose to Melfi), so as to use his nephew as a buffer between himself and others to avoid any potential future prosecutions. Dr. Melfi is baffled by Tony's unexpected frankness to which he replies that he now trusts her, "a little."
First appearances[edit]
Bobby Baccalieri, III: Bobby's son
Karen Baccalieri: Bobby's wife
Sophia Baccalieri: Bobby's daughter
Carlo Gervasi: Soprano/DiMeo crime family capo
Murf Lupo: Aging former Soprano/DiMeo crime family capo and friend of Junior Soprano
Cozette: the dog of Adriana La Cerva
Deceased[edit]
Det. Lt. Barry Haydu: shot in his home by Christopher Moltisanti
Title reference[edit]
The episode's title is taken from a phrase found on American paper currency: "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private". The episode ends with a close up of a twenty-dollar bill that Christopher takes from Lt. Barry Haydu after he kills him.
Money is a worry for Tony, Carmela, and Junior in the episode.
Christopher is now indebted to Tony for the information Tony provided about Christopher's father.
Production[edit]
This episode was the first one to be made and aired after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. From this episode on, the shot of the World Trade Center Towers in the opening credits is absent, replaced by additional shots of industrial scenery before reaching the toll booth.
Vince Curatola (Johnny Sack) is now billed in the opening credits, but only for the episodes which he appears in.
Paulie's prison stay was written into the series to allow more time off for actor Tony Sirico, who was recovering from major back surgery.[citation needed]
The wrestler Johnny Valiant appears in this episode as Carmine Lupertazzi's bodyguard.
A comment made by Carmine Lupertazzi to Tony Soprano, "A don doesn't wear shorts", was added into the show after series creator David Chase was contacted by a supposed real-life mafia associate who praised him on the authenticity of the show, with the exception that Tony often wears shorts, which he said a real don would never do.[citation needed]
"For All Debts Public and Private" is one of only two Sopranos episodes in which the end credits roll on top of a picture (the eye of the twenty dollar bill in this case) instead of a black background (the other episode is "Cold Cuts" from Season 5) and the only episode in which they do so for the entire duration of the credits.
This episode has the strongest ratings of any episode, with an estimated 13.43 million viewers.
Cultural References[edit]
The city where Paulie Walnuts was arrested, Youngstown, OH, has the nickname "Mobtown, USA"
References to other media[edit]
Junior is shown watching the movie Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison.
During the scene in which Carmela approaches Tony about finances, the movie playing on the television is Rio Bravo, a 1959 Western starring John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. In the scene that Tony is watching, Martin and Nelson sing a duet, "My Rifle, My Pony and Me". This song is also used at the end of the future episode "Pie-O-My."
At Lt. Haydu's house, Chris is shown watching Magnum P.I.
When Paulie is on the payphone in county jail, The Jerry Springer Show is seen on the television in the background.
During the scene in which Janice and Ralphie are snorting cocaine in the bathroom, Janice comments "Oh Bartleby, Oh Humanity" a reference to the drama surrounding Jackie Jr.'s death. This is the last line from Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener."
Music[edit]
The song played at the episode's beginning and over the end credits is "World Destruction" by Time Zone (with John Lydon).
The song played while two women make out on a hotel bed is: "Do You Wanna Get Heavy?" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
The song played while Christopher shoots up is "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me", sung by Dean Martin in Rio Bravo (1959).
The song playing while Det. Lt. Haydu pulls into his driveway is Lady Marmalade by Labelle.
The song playing when Carmela sees Angie in the supermarket, is "Saturday In The Park" (1972) by Chicago from their album, Chicago V.
