Soprano family capo Carlo Gervasi drives to his beach house at the Jersey Shore and retrieves "Fat Dom" Gamiello's severed head from a freezer and drives to a sewer inlet in Connecticut where he disposes of it, while Silvio Dante arranges for the rest of the body to be dumped in the ocean. Phil Leotardo arrives with his mistress at a wire room in Sheepshead Bay where the two will have a sexual liaison. As they approach the building, it explodes, knocking them back on the street. Watching from his car nearby, Benny Fazio calls Tony Soprano to let him know the operation was a success. Tony is pleased to hear that Phil was so close when the bomb went off.
