Chris screwed up a cigarette bootletting operation by not making sure that their Latino partners properly applied tax stamps to them. That means ATF agents are now investigating the operation. Tony S forces Chris to share half the operation, and half its earnings, with Paulie. Chris only becomes angrier as a result, and vents his frustrations at Adriana. Chris also feels that Tony S is giving Tony B preferential treatment, even though the latter has drawn the Jersey family into the crosshairs of the New York family by trying to murder the Leotardo brothers (but only killing Billy).
