Complete story — includes the ending

Tracee, a Bada Bing stripper who is having regular sex with Ralphie, has formed a friendly relationship with Tony and tells him that she is pregnant with Ralphie's child. Ralphie's behavior in the Bada Bing becomes increasingly reprehensible, and he eventually beats Tracee to death when she mocks him in front of his friends. Tony attacks Ralphie despite him being a made man, and admits to Melfi and Carmela in their next session that Tracee (without revealing her identity) dying young saddened him. Meadow's Columbia University roommate finds herself unhappy at college. Noah attempts to cheer her up by inviting her to spend time with him and Meadow, but she soon attaches herself to them and interferes with his studying. After Meadow learns that Noah's father is placing a restraining order on her roommate, Noah breaks up with her, deciding that she is "too negative." As Meadow returns home in a foul mood, the strippers at the Bada Bing wonder what happened to Tracee.
