After another argument about the garbage routes, Richie goes to a capo to get approval for a hit on Tony. Junior, correctly suspecting Richie will not be able to turn him, instead rats him out. Tony confides in Silvio who suggests that there is nothing to be gained by keeping Richie alive. Separately, Richie and Janice have an argument, and Richie punches her in the face. In retaliation, she shoots him. Tony and his men clean up the body and arrange for Janice to leave New Jersey. Tony speaks to Livia for the first time since he tried to kill her, during which they argue about her parenting and she cries. Her crying turns to quiet laughter when he trips while leaving the house. Pussy turns against Tony and tries to get in good with the FBI by busting Chris, but winds up in a car crash. Tony's comare Irina Peltsin attempts suicide after he leaves her, and Tony has Silvio pay her to leave him alone. Upset by this, Carmela visits Musto, but realizes he was a no-show for their lunch because of Tony. Tony returns home and Carmela announces her plans to go to Rome for three weeks with Rosalie. When Tony demands she not go, she states she may kill herself if he does not let her.
