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.
Having promised Tony he'd talk to Carmine, Sr. about reducing his demands in the dispute over the HUD scheme, Little Carmine pays a visit to New Jersey to make good on his word over a round of golf with his father and Johnny Sack. Before Carmine Sr. arrives at the tee box, Johnny and Little Carmine confirm the plan. But when Carmine Sr. praises Tony's hardline approach and mentions that Tony could be like a son to him, Little Carmine becomes jealous. He disparages Tony and suggests that maybe the problem is Tony's overly friendly relationship with Johnny. This touches a nerve in Carmine Sr., who becomes irritated, smashes his golf club, and refuses to back down. Johnny is clearly annoyed by Little Carmine's shift in tactics. He later 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.
