* GoldenAge: How various characters remember better days gone by is a recurrent theme in this episode.
** Patsy remarks to Burt that [[{{Irony}} "It's over for the little guy"]] when their attempts to [[ShameIfSomethingHappened coerce]] a corporate-franchised coffee shop falls flat. Patsy isn't so much decrying the loss of opportunities for small businessmen, but more the declining number of small businesses to force into the ProtectionRacket.
** Tony initially resists selling a small business held by an Italian local to the Jamba Juice franchise because he wants to hold onto the Little Italy that he knows and is familiar with.
** Tony bemoans that the ToughLove parenting he received as par for the course from Johnny Boy has given way to societal coddling that enables kids like A.J. to put off growing up seemingly indefinitely.
** Phil laments that Johnny Boy would have [[BuryYourGays put Vito six feet under the instant he heard of even the hint of homosexuality]], while Tony drags his feet on what for Phil should be a non-issue.
** Patsy lampshades the theme at the end of the episode with: "What the fuck happened to this neighborhood?"

Patsy and Bert Gervasi go around collecting fees from small businesses for the protection racket. Their attempt to force it on a corporate-franchised coffee shop goes nowhere. The corporation can tolerate the odd act of vandalism or robbery, and there's no way for the employees in any particular location to make it work without attracting corporate scrutiny. Patsy remarks to Burt that "It's over for the little guy!"
Juliana Skiff, a representative of Jumba Juice, shows up at Satriale's. She offers to purchase a building owned by Tony, which houses a small business run by one of the Italian locals, for expansion by the Jamba Juice franchise. Tony bristles against it, wanting to hold onto the Little Italy that he remembers.
Tony laments that A.J. has become listless and shows no direction or purpose in his life. And indeed A.J. spends his days at a part-time job at Blockbusters, where he still puts in the minimum amount of work possible, and then spends his nights clubbing while getting mooched off of by people pretending to be his friends, as they keep asking him for juicy gossip about his life as the son of an infamous mob boss.
