The show opens on a family note with Carmela and Tony learning that A.J. got fired from Blockbuster for selling promotional movie items. The lure of making a quick buck off selling White Chicks movie posters was too much for him. You can't really blame him. That movie was a phenomenon. I mean, they were the Wayans brothers masquerading as white chicks! It turned all our notions of race and gender on its head in hilarious fashion! Unfortunately that's not all the bad news they are going to have to deal with this morning. Meadow, the good offspring, comes in to tell them that she has decided to move to California to be with Finn in dental school. She is going to see about a boy. Tony doesn't seem too concerned about it, but Carmela is clearly upset.

Next Tony and Silvio are meeting with Phil Leotardo to talk mob business. For some reason they decide to do it in a Home Depot. Where else can you talk about extortion and racketeering while getting a new doorknob? Now that Johnny Sack is in prison and essentially out as boss, Phil is flexing his muscles a little bit. Phil is cutting Tony's end on the Tidelands project. When Tony tries to protest, Phil says he doesn't care. "It's my decision. Now if you'll excuse me I have to look at paint swatches."

At home Tony is watching the History Channel in the kitchen when Carmela comes to tell him that she wants to take that trip to Paris she was talking about. Tony can't get away for the week. What with the NY boss convicted and one of his crew being gay he's just swamped with work. He'll be toiling away at the strip club for a good 18 hours a day keeping his nose to the grindstone. "Grindstone" being the nickname one of the strippers has for her labia. Carmela says she'll just go with Rosalie Aprile. Tony agrees. He says after all she's been though lately with the spec house, and A.J. being a loser, she deserves to get away.
