Feech La Manna causes trouble for a local gardener, Sal Vitro, who has been cutting grass in a particular neighborhood for decades. Feech does not care about Vitro's arrangements and claims that his nephew, E. Gary La Manna, reserves the right to this area. When Vitro disobeys, Feech becomes offended and viciously attacks him, breaking his arm. Tony B., who is with him, is horrified because they are both on parole and pulls Feech away. Paulie "Walnuts" learns from his Aunt Mary, a customer of Sal's, that Sal will not be gardening the area anymore because he was assaulted.
Uncle Junior's creeping dementia is getting worse. As he is flipping through the channels, he comes across Curb Your Enthusiasm (the episode "The Doll") and confuses comedian Larry David with himself and Jeff Garlin with Bobby, whom they both physically resemble, thinking it's his trial.
Tensions rise in New York as loan shark Lorraine Calluzzo and her boyfriend and partner in crime, Jason Evanina, collect debts from a bartender. They are accosted by three competitors, including Phil Leotardo and Joey "Peeps", in a bar. Phil slaps Lorraine down to the floor while Joey "Peeps" points a gun at Jason and knocks him down and steps on his head to subdue him. They say they have now warned Lorraine twice that she will be "kicking up" directly to Johnny Sack and not Little Carmine. Lorraine explains that she has always been faithful in giving her collections to Little Carmine in Miami. Phil scares Lorraine with a mock execution by tying her up and putting a phone book to her chest under the pretext that it will muffle the sound. Phil then fires the gun, with the bullet only penetrating through to the middle of the phone book's "R" section. Phil warns her that, "Next time, there'll be no next time."
