The show opens with Tony getting his morning paper. Sal the local greenskeeper comes over to talk to him. He wants to know how long he is going to have to keep doing the Sacramoni's lawn for free. If you want to know why he's doing that it's kind of a long story involving him getting beaten up by just released gangster Feech La Mana, played by Robert Loggia, who then was sent back to prison on a scheme to violate his parole because he was muscling in on Tony's turf, yadda yadda. It's complicated. This show is Byzantine in its characters and plot lines. If you really want to know you will probably have to do some research.

Tony is pissed that Sal wants out of doing Johnny Sack's lawn for free. He calls him a selfish prick and that he better keep doing his lawn and stop complaining. You see, just when Sal thought he was out, they pull him back in.

In the clink, Johnny Sack's lawyer is talking to him about his impending trial and whether or not he is willing to cooperate. Johnny refuses, saying that him being a rat is like asking his lawyer, who is Jewish, to be a Nazi. Or asking David Blaine to actually do a magic trick. His lawyer is glad to hear it, saying he doesn't represent rats. Only humans and porpoises. (ZING!)

Over at Satriale's Janice is being her usual wonderful self and complaining to Tony that they didn't save her stuffed pork loin that she ordered special. It was instead given to Carmela. "You get what you pay for," Tony says, meaning that she doesn't buy any meat but instead expects it all for free.

But bitching abut meat is only the preamble. Janice is just getting warmed up. "I don't know why you can't just admit that you blame us for getting sho,t" she snaps at him. Tony, not taking the bait, simply says, "I only have myself to blame." Janice, in an amazing display of "see you next Tuesday"-ness snaps back. "So obviously you'd like to blame somebody." Holy crap, that is a woman picking a fight. And we soon find out what fight she wants. You see, Janice married Bobby Bacala, the borderline retarded idiot. Up until a few years ago all he did was watch over Uncle Junior, and he barely did that competently. Now the only reason she married him was because she was hoping that would help get him a promotion to captain and get Janice richer. Janice, you see, is exactly like Tony's mom. A soul sucking harpy witch.
