Complete story — includes the ending

With Silvio out with the flu, Tony has Paulie collect from a Russian debtor, and he brings Chris along. Paulie starts a fight with the Russian, and believing he killed him, they take the body out to the New Jersey Pine Barrens, only for the Russian to attack them and flee into the woods. As his tracks vanish, Paulie and Chris realize they are lost. They take shelter in an abandoned truck for the night, and Paulie calls Tony for help, leading to a fight with Gloria where she throws a beef steak at Tony's head before he leaves with Bobby to find them. Lured by Paulie firing his gun in frustration, the two groups meet up but find Paulie's car gone, along with the money he took from the Russian. As they drive back to north New Jersey, Tony warns Paulie that he will need to take care of the Russian if he ever turns back up. Meadow discovers Jackie cheating on her when she is too sick to have sex with him, and she breaks up with him. Tony admits to Melfi that he is seeing Gloria, and does not get the parallels she tries to draw between Gloria and Livia.
