Plots(1)

When Pussy goes to the doctor for steroid injections in his back, the person leafing through old magazines in the waiting room is FBI agent Skip Lipari. As they drive home afterwards it's revealed that Sal Bompensiero, AKA Big Pussy Bompensiero, made man and life-long friend of Tony Soprano, is facing a heroin possession charge and has become an informant for the Feds. But for the moment at least, Tony is blissfully unaware of Pussy's conversion. Well, unaware maybe, but hardly blissful. After all, Junior is out of jail on a medical release pending trial -- and even though he's under house arrest, the disgruntled old capo is nursing a molto grande grudge against his nephew. If that weren't enough, Freddy Capuano, the Director of Green Grove, has been going around telling people that Tony likes "to fluff his mother's pillows." Although Tony doesn't know about Pussy, and Junior's not an immediate threat, this Capuano situation needs to be taken care of quickly. (Warner Bros. UK)
