A powerful and exciting episode, featuring one of the most exciting and surprising events ever to happen on the Sopranos (the Vito thing of course). I found the relationship between Finn and the guys to be interesting to say the least, and comical if not scary. I wonder what will happen to Vito now that it was revealed he likes to smoke salami. There is a good tense scene between Carmela and Tony at Artie's restaurant. There is some trouble building up between Tony and Tony B., which may lead to Tony B. getting whacked (god forbid). The episode doesn’t run short on clever and quirky dialogue, but drags towards the end during the tedious Dr. Melfi session. Opens an interesting door for a plot, MEADOW GETTING MARRIED. Looks like Finn, Meadow's finace, better get used to the family business.

Overall Grade: A

Ranking in season: # 4 / 13

Ranking in series: # 23 / 65

- Little Carmine's speech, "The fundamental question is, 'Will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was?' And I will be. Even more so. But until I am, it's gonna be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective," is purposefully similar to comments made by George W. Bush prior to becoming president.
