* BestServedCold: Tony recognizes that other past mobsters were better at TheMafia game than he is because they could [[TheStoic control their emotions]], throw their enemies off with the CheshireCatGrin, and then wait patiently for the right moment for "servin' the cold cuts".

** Christopher and Tony Blundetto dig up and dispose of Emil Kolar's skeleton, moving his body for the second time. Christopher shot and killed Emil in [[Recap/TheSopranosS1E1Pilot the Pilot episode]]. Then, he and Pussy Bonpensiero unsuccessfully tried to put Emil's body into a dumpster. Later, they buried the body under a bridge somewhere. But, the burial was giving Christopher nightmares. So, Christopher and Georgie later dug up the body and relocated it in [[Recap/TheSopranosS1E8TheLegendOfTennesseeMoltisanti "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti."]]
** When Tony confronts Janice over the assault, she tells him that the woman is lucky she didn't kill her. Tony responds, "Well, we know that." This refers to the killing of Richie Aprile by Janice in "[[Recap/TheSopranosS2E12TheKnightInWhiteSatinArmor The Knight in White Satin Armor]]".

* EverythingIsRacist: Possibly, but never confirmed one way or the other. Evelyn, a member of Janice's anger management group, felt her employer gave her special scrutiny just for being black. Of course, we don't have the employer's side of the story.

Tony S, while he was at the farm, watched a documentary that suggests that it would be very easy for MiddleEasternTerrorists to exploit the commercial shipping system to sneak in everything needed for an attack of mass destruction. His worries continue to the next day, and even when he returns to the Bing. He ends up beating Georgie for making a remark that, from Tony S' view, was insensitive towards the repercussions. Georgie quits working at the Bing, even as Tony offers to cover his medical care.

Uncle Pat Blundetto is selling his farm in anticipation of a move to Florida. That obliges Tony S, Chris, and Tony B to dig up several bodies from past murders and dispose of them elsewhere. Chris and Tony B begin the initial work and start to bond with each other over their shared resentments towards Tony S. The dynamic completely changes once Tony S arrives to help out with the bodies of the Johnson brothers. Both Tonys resume picking on Chris. The bullying continues into the next morning. Chris declines to go on a hunting trip with them and drives away from the farm in tears.

Carmela drains the pool to retaliate against Tony's maneuvering against her in the divorce. They have a brief argument and agree to have an engagement party for Finn and Meadow. Later, Carmela tells AJ's principal she is moving back in with her husband, seemingly without thinking. She later denies this to Rosie Aprilie.
