Carmela and Rosalie go to Paris on vacation. Carmela gets very inspired and philosophical, and wonders about her place in the world and her impact on it and what it's all about and whatnot. Meanwhile, while she's gone, Tony gets a ***** from a stripper. AJ gets fired from Blockbuster, and Tony realizes that he kind of hates his son, so he gets AJ a job working construction, and lets AJ know that if he loses this one, there will be consequences. Melfi offers Tony some pretty pointed truths about his relationship with his son, which Tony seems to ignore. Meadow announces that she's going to California to be with Finn for a year. Vito secretly meets with Tony and asks to come back to the Family, working out of Atlantic City. Vito also gets to see his wife and kids, and tells his kids he's working for the CIA. Tony realizes that Phil isn't going to be happy unless Vito gets whacked, and orders Carlo to do it. Before Carlo gets the chance, Phil and his goons find Vito in his motel room and beat him to death, sticking a pool cue up his ass for good measure. Tony decides not to retaliate in kind, trying to avoid an all-out war. One of Phil's guys makes some ill-considered remarks about Vito -- and about the sexuality of the Jersey crew as a whole -- while visiting Sil and Carlo, and they get so pissed off that Carlo ends up stabbing the guy to death. Oops.
