Episode recap

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 Chris arrives, Tony notices his intoxication but Chris passes it off as being from wine he had with Adriana. Tony tells Chris that he is going to be giving orders through him in the future because of their family ties and that Chris will take the family into the 21st century—Chris points out that they are already there but Tony doesn't seem to follow.

A.J. hangs out with his friends Matt Testa, Patrick Whalen and Jason Malatesta and girlfriend Devin Pillsbury in a basement. They discuss his father's business and when he reveals that he co-owns the Bada Bing! they decide to visit. Unfortunately A.J. gets confused and they end up at Satriale's. A.J. returns home late and his mother scolds him for being out past his curfew.

In bed, Tony and Carmela discuss Furio Giunta: she wants to set him up with her dental hygienist, Liz DiLiberto. She also tells him that 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 detail and later in his therapy session, angrily confronts Dr. Melfi—blaming her for Gloria's death. She stands up to him and tells him that she gives her patients everything; Tony relents and reveals that he is actually feeling guilty himself as he could have cared for Gloria but instead he cut off their relationship.

Artie Bucco has a new French hostess at Nuovo Vesuvio, Elodie Colbert, and his relationship with Charmaine seems even more strained. Elodie'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 Ralphie. Ralphie refuses because he would not be able to hurt Artie if he did not pay him back. Later Tony learns of this and visits Artie at home, offering the money himself and upset that Artie didn't come to him first.

Tony takes a bottle of Armagnac and has a drunken dream about Gloria. He visits her apartment and finds her in a black dress with a black scarf around her neck. She is cooking dinner and when she goes over to the oven the scarf drapes across Tony. Plaster falls down in front of Tony and when he looks up at the ceiling he sees that the chandelier is almost 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. Tony wakes up and makes his way to the bathroom for some medication.

Brian Cammarata, the Sopranos' new financial advisor, pays them a visit and Tony signs the new trust papers to Carmela's delight. Tony also puts Brian in touch with Patsy Parisi as he spots his 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 and Devin orders a car service to take them to Meadow's work, as A.J. thinks she might let them use her room. They are shocked at the neighborhood that Meadow volunteers in and disappointed when she laughs off their request.

Tony continues his string of good deeds by organizing a night at a Billy Joel concert for Carmela, Chris, 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 match-making. He also books a dinner with Janice 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 what he needed to hear: he always reaches out to her when it counts.

Artie delivers Tony's money to Jean-Philippe outside Vesuvio. Later, he is unable to get hold of him on the phone but Elodie distracts him 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. He dresses in a navy blue turtleneck shirt and black leather jacket, trying to look as intimidating as possible. 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. 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 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, perhaps because it hits too close to home. Later in therapy, he tells Dr. Melfi about Artie and then of his decision to put it behind him by donating money to the 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 AJ hanging out with his friends and being unable to answer the question as to why his dad does not have Don Corleone's money.
