Furio goes to Naples for his father's funeral, where he confesses to his uncle that he is in love with Carmela. His uncle warns him that he will have to kill Tony if he wants to be with her. Paulie's mother Nucci moves into a retirement community, where she is ostracized by a group that one of her friends is in. Paulie pays off the woman's son, but when nothing changes, he has the man's arm broken. His wife threatens to pull his mother out of the home unless she is kinder to Nucci. Ralphie's new girlfriend, Valentina La Paz, helps commission a portrait of Tony and Pie-O-My. They soon begin an affair, although he refuses to keep seeing her unless she breaks up with Ralphie, which she does. Carmela discovers one of Valentina's fake nails in Tony's clothes, and so she invests some of his money with a stockbroker and leaves the nail for him to find. He and Carmela try to get the other to admit what they have done, but neither folds.
