* BatmanGambit: Tony didn't hesitate to give Artie the loan, with the ultimate benefit to Tony being the cancellation of the hefty tab he and the other mobsters have accumulated at the Vesuvio restaurant. It depended on educated guesses that Jean-Phillipe was pulling a [[DelayedWire scame]] and that Artie was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter gullible]] enough to fall for it. Tony and the gang would have still owed the tab to Artie had Artie TookALevelInCynic.

** Tony has a couple of expensive wines added to the tab owing to Artie. The BatmanGambit isn't fully explained or realized until the end of the episode, but Tony ordering the wines on tab shows (in hindsight) that he is fully aware of already having set the Gambit into motion.
