On a suspected tip from the reincarcerated capo "Larry Boy" Barese, the FBI begin investigating an old murder of a small-time bookie named Willie Overall. Overall was Tony's first murder, which happened on Labor Day weekend of 1982 when Tony was 22. The hit was assigned to Tony by his father, DiMeo Family Capo "Johnny Boy" Soprano, and Paulie Gualtieri accompanied him on it. Paulie goes to Tony's house and informs him of the situation, and, after the Bureau starts digging for Willie's body, Tony and Paulie pack up and drive toward Miami, Florida, to lie low until the heat blows over. The FBI indeed manage to find Overall's remains.
On the trip down to Miami, Tony at first enjoys reminiscing old times with Paulie but soon grows weary of his annoying mannerisms and tendency to sometimes blab carelessly with strangers. Suspecting his previous disloyalty, Tony questions Paulie several times about the circumstance by which Johnny "Sack" became aware of Ralph Cifaretto's joke made at the expense of his wife, Ginny Sacrimoni, back in 2002 that caused great tensions between the two families, but Paulie denies any knowledge of it. The two visit "Beansie" Gaeta in Miami and all have dinner together with some women at a restaurant. Beansie and Paulie share old stories and joke and Beansie shows them some old photos: one of a younger Paulie and the other of Tony's father with Junior. Tony gets irritated by the incessant reminiscing and Paulie once almost mentioning mob crimes to civilians and leaves the table, angrily dubbing "remember when" as "the lowest form of conversation." After having sex with one of the women, though, Tony learns she had an impression he was Paulie's best friend from all of Paulie's stories about him at the table. Tony admits Paulie used to be his role model when growing up.
