Complete story — includes the ending

Paulie is released from prison, resentful that Tony never contacted him. While watching television, Adriana gets the impression that spouses cannot be forced to testify against each other, and proposes to Chris. He storms out when she tells him she may not be able to have children, but accepts it after Tony and Silvio talk to him. Adriana learns that she was wrong about spousal privilege and joylessly unwraps her presents at her bridal shower. Carmela's cousin tips Tony off to a mortgage fraud scheme he can get in on, so he makes use of assemblyman Ronald Zellman to purchase several houses. One of them has been turned into a crack house, so Zellman pressures his anti-violence friend into sending a group of armed teenagers to scare the occupants away. After the scheme pays out, Zellman and his friend wonder what happened to their morals. Tony learns that Zellman is dating Irina Peltsin, and though unbothered by it at first, he drunkenly barges into Zellman's house and beats him.
