Tony Soprano pays Perry Annunziata some money as a compensation for giving him a beating and his bodyguard apologizes for raising a hand against his boss as they make peace.
The New York wiseguys who spotted a leather fetish-clad Vito Spatafore dancing in a gay bar have spread the news. An associate, who said Sal Iaccuzzo from Yonkers, New York saw Vito at the gay bar, tells the story to Christopher Moltisanti and his friend "Murmur" outside an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, they then repeat it to Tony and his crew at the Bada Bing!. Paulie Gualtieri describes the news as slander, and Tony insists more proof is needed before they condemn him.
Benny Fazio, Dante Greco and Terry Doria visit Vito and his mistress at a beach house on the Jersey Shore, where he's been lying low. They try to escort him to see Tony but Vito speeds away. Vito returns to his home later that night, looks in on his sleeping children, grabs clothes, a couple of family pictures and a stash of money, and drives off into a stormy night, throwing his cell phone out on the way. After his car hits a downed tree branch, Vito proceeds on foot and finds himself stranded in a small town in New Hampshire. Exhausted, he checks into an inn.
