Sal Vitro is a gardener who has been working in a particular neighborhood for decades. Feech now tells him that the neighborhood belongs to his nephew, E. Gary La Manna. Sal rebuffs him; Feech viciously attacks him and breaks his right arm before Tony B, who is with him, pulls him away, reminding him that he is on parole.

Paulie learns about the assault and tells Sal that, for a few percentage points, he can put things right. He visits Feech at his bakery, his legitimate business; Feech, raging, tells him to get out. Paulie then finds Gary and his brother at work and assaults them both. He empties Gary's wallet and orders him to give him a cut of his profits and to pay Sal's medical bills. In a sit-down, Tony rules that the neighbourhood should be divided between Gary and Sal. When Paulie tells him, Sal tries to hide his disappointment. Paulie adds that he will have to provide free services at the homes of "some friends of ours," including Tony's lawn, and Johnny's, which is huge.

Tensions rise in New York as loan shark Lorraine Calluzzo and her boyfriend, Jason Evanina, collect debts and pass payments up to Little Carmine. They are attacked by three of Johnny's men, Phil Leotardo, his brother Billy, and Joey Peeps. Phil subjects Lorraine to a mock execution. Lorraine, Jason, and Angelo have a meeting with Tony and Junior. Tony recommends that New York form a triumvirate: Johnny, Carmine and Angelo. Angelo says he is semi-retired and just wants to enjoy his grandchildren.

Tony meets Johnny, telling him that Lorraine reached out to him. He raises the power-sharing idea from the previous meeting, framing it as Angelo’s idea. Johnny responds with contempt, accusing Tony of empowering Little Carmine during the dispute over the HUD scam. Later, Tony and Johnny have a sit-down. Tony is accompanied by Christopher who, despite Tony's instructions, intervenes. Johnny shouts at them and the sit-down fails.

Tony mends fences with Artie Bucco, who is still holding a grudge over the loan incident. He offers Artie one of the bedrooms in his mother's house, since Artie has run into problems with his living arrangements; after some hesitation, he accepts.

Junior's dementia is gradually worsening. One afternoon, he wanders out in bathrobe and slippers, and drives to Bloomfield Avenue where his brother, Johnny Boy, once had a family hangout. It is now a storefront church and he is kicked out. Befuddled, he forgets where his car is and walks aimlessly. At night, two policemen discover him and drive him home. Janice and Bobby then discuss his condition with Tony. There is an argument: Janice slaps Tony, and he starts choking her. As Bobby and Artie try to break up the fight, Artie gets hit in the eye by Janice's elbow. Janice runs out of the house crying.

Junior's neurologist explains to Tony that his insults and erratic behaviour may have been due to his infarcts (mini-strokes). Tony visits Junior. He asks his uncle why he never says anything nice. "Don't you love me?" he asks. Junior doesn't answer, and they both quietly tear up.

• Sal Vitro: a gardener helped by Paulie who becomes indebted to the DiMeo crime family.
• Billy Leotardo: Soldier in the Lupertazzi crime family and Phil's younger brother. He was seen along with Joey "Peeps" and Phil during Lorraine Calluzzo's mock execution.

• Junior wanders away from his home looking for his brother, Johnny Soprano, and utters the question in the episode. It is also a pun on Ed McMahon's famous intro-lines for Johnny Carson,[1] which had also been famously referenced in the horror film The Shining.[2]

• In the pilot episode, when Tony describes Uncle Junior to Dr. Melfi, he says his uncle embarrassed him by telling all his girl cousins he didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete. Junior greatly annoys Tony by repeating this once again to the Sunday dinner guests in this episode.
• The audiobook that Paulie listens to in his car is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Paulie's curiosity about Sun Tzu was brought up in the previous episode, "Rat Pack."
• When Adriana asks Agent Sanseverino how much longer she has to give her information, she mentions it took the RICO case of Joe Massino seven years to build.

• Uncle Junior is seen watching the HBO television series Curb Your Enthusiasm (featuring a scene between Larry David and Jeff Garlin) and is confused because he thinks he's watching himself and Bobby on TV. The scene in question is from the season 2 episode "The Doll" (2001).
• In another apparent reference to Curb Your Enthusiasm Bobby is wearing a shirt similar to one that features prominently in the season 3 episode "Chet's Shirt" (2002) when he visits Tony to ask for more responsibilities.
• When Janice stops by her late mother's house to tell Tony about Uncle Junior, he's watching the 1940 movie His Girl Friday. The TV screen isn't seen, but a snippet of dialogue between Abner Biberman, who plays a small-time thug, and Rosalind Russell is heard: Hi, Hildy. / Oh, hello, Louie. How's the big slot-machine king? / Oh, I ain't doin' that no more; I'm retired.

• The music played over the end credits is "Earth, Wind, Water" by Mitch Coodley, from The Metro Music Production Library.
• When Paulie meets with Sal Vitro to discuss Sal's problem with Feech, the song playing in the background at the bar is "Let Your Love Flow" by The Bellamy Brothers.
• When motivational speaker Tony Robbins is shown on television, the song playing is "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project.
• The music being played at the Bada Bing when Tony hears about the cars being robbed is "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars
