Complete story — includes the ending

Carmela asks Jeannie Cusamano to get her Georgetown University alumna sister to write a letter of recommendation for Meadow. When the woman refuses, Carmela talks to her directly, her status as Tony's wife intimidating her into writing it. After a fight with Chris, Adriana leaves him, but he goes to her and proposes engagement, which she accepts. Richie gives Tony a leather jacket that belonged to a feared mobster as a sign of respect, but Tony is not impressed. Later, Richie sees the Sopranos' housekeeper's husband wearing it. Chris's underlings, Matt Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte, continue to be shorted by Chris and Tony. They take action after Chris does not show up to a meeting, attacking and shooting him. Sean is killed during the ambush, while Matt tries to seek shelter with Richie, who throws him out after he learns what he has done. The attack leaves Chris badly wounded, and he is hospitalized.
