Uninterested in his job at Blockbuster or in going back to college, Anthony Soprano, Jr. is spending most of his time hanging out in nightclubs in New York City with Hernan, who he went to high school with, and his new friends, some of them underage girls. His club acquaintances are impressed with him because of who his father is. A.J. brags to one of the girls who inquires about revenge against his uncle Junior: "I'll probably have to do something," he says.
To get more money for clubbing ("living expenses"), A.J., to his father's disappointment, sells the drum kit Tony gave him as a gift. While the pair are fishing on Tony's boat, A.J. asks what they are going to do about Uncle Junior shooting Tony. Tony tells A.J. he should not concern himself with Junior, saying, "He's incarcerated for the rest of his unnatural life."
At Dr. Melfi's, Tony complains about his son, saying all he does is "vegetate." He asks for advice about A.J. Melfi says the youth nowadays are overwhelmed with information and reach maturity later than previous generations. She suggests Tony and Carmela impose some concrete rules.
A.J. raises an idea for his parents to provide him a night club to manage but gets little support from them, especially Carmela who says he is not even of legal drinking age. His mother wants him to study event planning and his father offers to get him a place at "Beansie"'s pizza parlor to gain experience with the food service industry.
