Tony throws a party for Tony Blundetto, his cousin recently released from prison on parole. Meanwhile, the FBI continues to press Adriana for information, and she almost breaks down and confesses at Carmela's film club. With Carmine dead, Johnny Sack sees an opportunity for advancement, but Little Carmine may get in the way of that. Elsewhere, Tony seeks out another rat and later leaves a blatant message for the Feds.
