Adriana La Cerva visits a doctor with her mother Liz and learns that her gastrointestinal problems have further escalated as she is diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. When the physician prescribes her glucocorticoids, her mother protests as she says their side-effects (such as facial swelling) would jeopardize her daughter's upcoming wedding.
Following the murder of Billy Leotardo by Tony Blundetto, the Soprano family is forced to have a sitdown with Johnny Sack and the Lupertazzi family. Tony expresses his condolences to Phil Leotardo and assures him that his cousin acted alone, without his authorization, and that he does not know his whereabouts, as he is in hiding. The New York contingent is not satisfied. Phil is unable to control himself. He insults Tony, threatening to kill one of Tony's own family, and has to be led away from the table. Johnny Sack also offers threats, suggesting another of Tony's cousins could be substituted for Blundetto, at which Christopher takes offense and protests. Before the meeting ends, Sack warns Tony to deliver Blundetto "on a spit."
The murders of Angelo Garepe and Billy Leotardo get Little Carmine spooked about the retaliation killings. He loses his nerve and announces his withdrawal from the confrontation with Johnny Sack to his associates, who are openly disappointed.
