    A great episode that opens a lot of doors for next week's season extended season finale. I found the most shocking and vulgar part of the episode was when Paulie smothered an old woman to with a pillow for her money (since he was having a hard time earning.) It was also funny to see the surprised and scared look on Paulie's face when he confronted Carmine at a party about Johnny Sack talking about him, and he had no idea what Paulie was talking about. The episode kind of moved slow in the middle, though, but I was really surprised when Furio disappeared into Naples. I thought one of the episode's only flaws was that it spent too much time on Carmela's love fantasy with Furio. Grade: A-
