At a meeting of Uncle Junior and his capos, Jimmy Altieri asks questions about past business, confirming suspicions that he is the informant and is wearing a wire. Junior agrees to let Tony Soprano have him killed. Christopher Moltisanti takes Jimmy to a hotel for what he promises will be a night with two Russian prostitutes. After they enter the hotel room, Silvio Dante emerges from behind the bathroom door and shoots Jimmy in the back of the head. His decomposing body is later found in an alleyway by a passerby with a dead rat stuffed in his mouth, sending a message that he was killed for making a deal with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
In Tony's therapy session with Dr. Melfi, Melfi tells Tony that his dream (of Isabella) indicates his subconscious is alerting him to problems with his mother. Because she thinks Tony's life is in danger, Melfi suggests that his mother may have been involved in the decision to take his life, and that Livia lacks compassion because she suffers from borderline personality disorder. Tony becomes irate at this suggestion, breaks a glass table and holds her down in her chair. He then storms out, telling her he is finished with therapy.
Carmela Soprano and Rosalie Aprile have lunch at the re-opened Nuovo Vesuvio, Artie Bucco's new restaurant opened with the insurance money he received after the original Vesuvio burned down. Father Phil Intintola drops by and sits with them. He discusses food and his watch, which belonged to Jackie Aprile Sr., but was given to him by Rosalie after Jackie's death.
