* MyBiologicalClockIsTicking: This turns out to be a part of Gloria's issues, when she tells Tony about having a great relationship with her nephew and niece, only to now be cut off from any access to them. She mentions an animosity towards her brother-in-law and claims he's on treatment for substance abuse, but never really explains why she was cut off though, giving it shades of NeverMyFault. Further confirmed when Carmela talking about her children awakens the GreenEyedMonster in Gloria and sends her into DrivesLikeCrazy mode.

Tony meets with the men involved in the botched robbery. Christopher demands blood and has an explosive encounter with Tony, who ruthlessly puts him in his place when Chris claims he no longer loves him - Tony dismisses Christopher's love but demands his respect. He then meets with Ralphie, who feigns ignorance about how Jackie Jr. was led astray. Tony shows him the gun he found on Jackie's person, with the implicit suggestion that he knows Ralph gave it to him and tells Ralph that it's up to him how to deal with Jackie. Tony ironically invokes Ralph's long-coveted captain status in assigning him the responsibility of dealing with the difficult situation when it's clear Jackie has to go, but Ralph is dating the boy's mother. Ralph goes to a devastated Rosalie's home and begins fabricating a story of how Jackie got involved with dangerous drug dealers. Tony returns home to Carmela, noticing something different about her - she has taken Father Obosi's advice to heart and wears none of the extravagant jewelry she's accumulated. She is also reading a book on how to become a real estate agent.

But it's easy to be skeptical about his claim that he would have gone but didn't because he caught an STD from a prostitute. One has to wonder whether he backed out as a DirtyCoward but only regretted it afterwards when he saw how much it benefitted the trio.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Ralph tells Jackie Jr. the story of Jackie Sr., Tony, and Silvio robbing Feech [=LaManna=]'s card game as an example of how Jackie Jr. could fast-track his career by doing something big. Instead, Jackie Jr.'s takeaway is that he should try doing ''the same exact thing'', not realizing that his current circumstances aren't the same as that group and that there were many ways their robbery could have gone wrong. Naturally, his own attempt backfires horribly.
