Complete story — includes the ending

Released DiMeo capo Michele "Feech" La Manna brutalizes a local gardener while trying to get his nephew's business off the ground. Paulie beats up Feech's nephew in retaliation, and Tony decides to split the territory in half and give the gardener a meager payout, provided he mows his and Johnny's lawns for free. Lorraine Calluzzo, a loan shark working for Little Carmine, is attacked by released Lupertazzi capo Phil Leotardo, his brother Billy, and Joey "Peeps" Peparelli. While trying to resolve the situation, Tony brings Chris along to a meeting, who tanks it when he speaks out of turn. As Junior's mental state erodes, he repeatedly insists that Tony "never had the makings of a varsity athlete." He drives to Newark, looking for Tony's deceased father until the police bring him back to Janice. Tony learns from Junior's neurologist that he has suffered several infarcts. He asks Junior why he insisted on repeating the athlete comment and asks "don't you love me?", causing both men to quietly become emotional.
