Plots(1)

At Tony's directive (and with Uncle Jr.'s blessing), Christopher escorts Jimmy Altieri to a hotel suite to meet some Russian talent — and then he and Silvio whack the rat. Back at Tony's, Livia shows up disoriented and confused, and is moved to the nursing wing of her retirement home. When Dr. Melfi suggests to Tony that his mother may be responsible for the attempt on his life, he gets violent — but an FBI tape of Livia and Uncle Jr. later proves the doctor correct. At Artie Bucco's newly reopened restaurant, Carmela dines with Rosalie Aprile (widow of the late boss), and learns she's not the only one spending quality time with Father Phil. Artie visits Livia, who spills the beans about Tony burning down Artie's restaurant. But when Artie confronts him with a shotgun, Tony is able to sell him on the story that Livia is nuts. Later, Tony pays Chucky Signore a visit on his boat, and Chucks is soon swimming with the fishes. Christopher and Paulie join the hit parade, whacking Mikey as he leaves home for a jog. Tony tells Dr. Melfi her life is in danger and she needs to leave town while he clears up the situation. After Tony admits to his boys he's been seeing a psychiatrist, they all learn that Junior and his comrades have been arrested on racketeering charges. Livia has a stroke, and Tony gives her an earful as she's being wheeled away. Carmela confronts Father Phil about his preoccupation with food and flirtation. Unable to get home in a storm, the Sopranos drive to Artie's place for dinner. (What's left of) the gang's all there, and things are good … for the time being. (HBO Nordic)
