"The Fleshy Part of the Thigh"- Aired 4/2/06

I feel a sense of plot thickening tonight. Everyone is positioning and focused on their own bottom line. There is tension in the air.

Tony is finally looking more like himself but still recovering. He is finally home and is quite upset with the insurance company about sending him out so quickly. He's is brushing with the born again Chrisitians. Chris noticed that Tony's outlook may be changing in a way that is not cohesive with his line of work. It may be a phase after his coma and all the dreaming he did. He is confused about his "not feeling quite himself". He is focusing on spiritual investigation and the beginning of life on earth. He ultimately gives up a substantial sum of money in the buy out for Barone Sanitation.

Paulie deals with a family affair of sorts. He visits his aunt in the convent (she's a nun) and she confesses to him that she is really his mother. "Knocked up" by a soldier in the war, she gave her baby to her sister to raise so she could join sisterhood. He feels betrayed and his life has been a lie. He confronts his so called mother... she finally admits it's the truth. He cuts her loose because she has kept this secret all his life. Paulie is getting money hungry.

Carmella is noticing behavior changes among the ranks and tries to warn tony to watch out for Vito. Is she going to become more involved in the family business?
