You have got to be kidding me!
Not that any of you give a rat's ass, but....
In other news, here is this week's Sopranos recap
So Pauli and some other guy (can't say I know who the guy is) show up at some Columbian dude's house to collect a debt or something, only the place which is supposed to be empty but it isn't --- which if they were there collect a debt, I'm not sure why they're surprised it isn't empty…which means I guess they were just there to rob the place instead of collecting cash. Anyway, the Columbians are there and a bunch of shooting takes place, Paulie Walnuts gets kicked in the walnuts and after all the Columbians are dead, they are pissed to discover they went through all that trouble for only 2 g's. (That's 2,000 in non-mob speak!) In a fit of rage, Paulie kicks the washing machine and whoa ho ho! A crapload of money, wrapped in stereotypical Hollywood aluminum foil bricks is stashed in the dishwasher. Paydirt!
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Christufa and Bobby gang up on AJ and say they heard it through the grapevine that he was trying to buy a gun. Telling him that offing Junior is a no go, they advise him to box or lift weights instead.
Back in Tony's Bizaro World, blah blah blah I'm not Kevin Finnerty! Some monks are involved who think he's Kevin Finnerty -- apparently Kevin Finnerty pissed off this group of monks and one of the monks says, "Hmmm…maybe you're not Kevin Finnerty. Maybe you were. Either way, you have to pay for the sins of past lives." Oooo…deep! *yawn* I get it, I get it. Tony's subconscious is telling him he might be dying and he has to change his ways, or at least pay for what he's done. Bring back the conscious whacking Tone.
Finally, we see Dr. Melfi. She bumps into Carmela at the grocery store and says she's there for her, if she needs someone to talk to. Carmela says, "Thank for the card you sent. I have plenty of people to talk to." Thanks, but no thanks is the gist of it. Dr. Melfi only sent a card? No flowers? WTF.
Silvio, a.k.a. Bruce Springsteen's guitarist or whatever, is stressing out because he is almost an acting boss while Tony is in the hospital. He's a bit uneasy with that position but has to deal with business and stuff so he has to do it. He advises Paulie (who has to wear a cup because of the kick to the groin) to split the Columbian money (a million dollars). With all the added stress of the decision making, Silvio's asthma kicks in and he has a major attack and is driven away to the hospital.
Dumb subplot:
The guy who was Christufa's AA sponsor still owes the mob money because he is gambling again. Benny and some other dude walk into a lecture he is giving to writers, beat him over the head with his iBook and drag him away, while the class watches horrified. He's taken to an impromptu meeting with Christufa, where he's informed that they will help him with his debt problem, if he agrees to make Christufa's movie idea into a script. The next day, they meet with mob movie investors and pitch the flick which will be a "Saw meets The Godfather" and basically about this wiseguy who comes back from the dead (after being hacked up into little pieces) to take revenge on his backstabbing rat girlfriend and those who wronged him. The pitch doesn't go so well….
Back in Tony Comaland, Tony sees a flyer for a Finnerty Family Reunion and decides to go. The valet at the party is none other than Tony Blondetto (Steve Buscemi) and says, "Hey! We've been waiting for you!" Tony looks into the house where the party is being held and he sees nothing but a bright light coming from within. Tony tells Tony B., "I don't want to go!" Tony B. says, "It's time for you to get in -- let go of the briefcase and go inside." Tony is loath to do it, and says he doesn't want to. Suddenly, he hears a voice from the trees that says "Daddy! Don't go! Don't go!" and Tony looks into the light of the house -- where suddenly, it becomes the hospital room light, Meadow is screaming, "Dad! Don't go!" and Tony flatlines. The meds come in and zap him a couple times, and voila! He's awake and out of the coma. Tony is going to be just fine.
In the end, Paulie decides he should give the money to Carmela because he was blabbing about it Tony, while Tony was in a coma, and what if he remembers when he wakes up. So he gives it to Carmela, not as a sign of loyalty to Tony or respect to Carmela, but because he's covering his ass. And while Carmela is touched at first, she glances back to smile one more time at Paulie and realizes he is grimacing and looking very unhappy at having lost that money. She sees he's a fraud.
