John Sacrimoni, despite the opposition from the prosecution, is granted a six-hour supervised release from prison in order to attend his daughter Allegra's wedding ceremony. His release comes with several conditions, including heavy security paid for exclusively by Johnny. Even from prison, Johnny lords over the planning of the event and tries to keep his family focused on the big day.
Although still recovering from his gunshot wound, Tony is ready to go back to work. He has a new bodyguard and driver, Perry Annunziata, a former bodybuilder whom Tony calls "Muscles Marinara." Tony notices Perry's large arms on their first trip together and tries to impress him with tales of his previous athletic prowess. The bodyguard nearly accosts two truck drivers who cut him off and swear at him, but Tony calms the man down without incident.
Tony is welcomed back by Dr. Melfi to her office for their first psychotherapy session since his shooting recovery. Melfi inquires about his physical and mental condition and his position towards Junior Soprano, but Tony says he never again wants to talk about his uncle after he tried to kill him for the second time. They then talk about A.J., and Tony says he is disappointed in his son flunking out of college and working a petty job. Nevertheless, Melfi makes him admit there are worse ways to make money "than stocking the shelves at Blockbuster."
Junior and his new public defender are summoned before the judge. He decides Junior's mental condition has deteriorated to the level where he should be held and treated in a psychiatric facility while awaiting his retrial. After checking into a mental center, Junior passionately tells his attorney that he is innocent: "He's my nephew, goddammit! Why would I shoot him? Why?" he asks. He also says it was a "gun malfunction" and woefully begs to go home.
