EPISODE

S6E15 · Remember When

Paulie shows up at Tony's house to tell him he's learned the Feds are looking into a murder case from the early 1980s. In fact it was Tony's first killing where he made his 'bones'. Tony decides he and Paulie need to lay low for a while and they head off on a road trip to Florida. They reminisce about the old days but Paulie is definitely getting on Tony's nerves. They also find that many things along the route have changed over the years. Tony is particularly interested in knowing who may have told Johnny Sack about the fat joke directed at his wife. Uncle Junior meanwhile has taken to organizing a poker game with his new friend Carter Chong. Junior's as grumpy as ever but continues to suffer from memory loss from time to time. Carter likes Junior's rebellious attitude but things change when the doctors change Junior's meds and he becomes far more docile.

Complete story — includes the ending

The FBI discover the body of Tony's first murder, forcing him and Paulie to go to Miami and lay low. He takes a bridge loan out from Hesh to cover a series of lost bets, and learns that Jackie Aprile is being blamed for the murder. To celebrate, he takes Paulie out on a fishing boat, where he asks him if he told Johnny about Ralphie's joke. Increasingly annoyed with Paulie over the course of the trip, he considers killing him. Paulie has a nightmare upon returning home about Pussy, where he asks if he will "stand up" when "my time comes." He sends the Sopranos an expensive espresso machine the next day. After Santoro takes food off Phil's plate at a dinner, Phil has him killed, making him the official boss of the Lupertazzi family. Junior gambles with the other patients in his facility, but is shut down by another patient. Junior attacks him, getting him put on a new set of medications. An ill-tempered young patient who he has befriended encourages him not to take them. He is threatened with transfer if he does not comply, disappointing Junior's friend, who he calls "Anthony" while trying to make up with him. He breaks Junior's arm and Junior later receives animal-assisted therapy, sitting apart from the other patients with his gaze vacant.
