* HeelRealization: Carmela breaks down in front of Father Phil with the realization that by enjoying the luxuries provided by his blood money, she is complicit in his crimes as well. She'll have this realization a few more times throughout the series, but she just can't will herself to act on it.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: Father Phil (a practicing priest) has a ''very'' low tolerance for alcohol, despite presumably performing Communion with the visitors to his parish. It is strongly implied, however, that he is merely faking nausea to hide the fact that he [[JizzedInMyPants came in his pants]] from almost kissing Carmela.

The same also goes for Meadow, who, as a high school student, also presumably doesn't have much experience with alcohol.

* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Tony takes time off from his daughter's college tour to murder a someone who betrayed the mob, the first time we see him kill someone on screen. This firmly establishing that, in spite of his sympathetic qualities, he is a ultimately a VillainProtagonist through and through. Executives fought this development, arguing that it would turn off viewers; instead, the opposite occurred, with the delicate balance between Tony's (and other characters') villainy and humanity becoming the show's main draw.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Carmela's confession and subsequent reception of the Eucharist contain one example after another, better than which both characters involved would certainly know. Carmela starts her confession "Forgive me, Father..." (priests absolve, not forgive, and the difference is a big deal theologically) instead of the correct "Bless me, Father...". Father Phil states that God "absolves" sinners, when that is the priest's role. Father Phil suggests that Carmela receive the Eucharist even though she is still in mortal sin, no absolution having taken place because she was unprepared to commit to having "firm purpose of amendment." A priest might give various sacraments to a person in the hospital, but would not have said a private Mass for him or her as Father Phil explains that he has just done. Father Phil's method of transporting the Body and (especially) the Blood are suspect at the very least. Both Carmela and Father Phil receive the Eucharist without the required fast, and without meeting any of the conditions required for a possible emergency exemption.



* BottleEpisode: The episode mostly takes place far from New Jersey, and doesn't include any other main characters besides the Sopranos family and Chris.

* HopeSpot: For Fabian; he hears noises outside his trailer and grabs his gun to investigate. Another noise leads him to spot a deer in the brush. Before he can even relax and assume that's all it is, Tony grabs him from behind.
