Episode recap Meadow's lack of drive continues to worry her parents. Carmela tries to discuss her failure to register for classes but Meadow again uses Jackie Jr.'s death as an excuse. She eventually reveals that she hasn't registered because she hopes to travel to Europe with her friend Misty. Tony discusses the problem with Dr. Melfi and she recommends an adult psychiatrist. Meadow agrees to see Dr. Kobler who actually encourages Meadow's plans. This prompts a protracted family argument where Meadow confronts Tony with the truth about his business life by calling him Mr Mob Boss. Tony responds by telling her he did everything he could to save Jackie Jr. She flees the house saying she has made up her mind. Meadow eventually goes to Columbia and registers for some courses while her parents worry she has fled the country.
Carmela's friendship with Furio continues and she continues to take pleasure in his morning visits to pick up Tony. Furio tells her he is planning to buy a house.
The crew have a brithday party for Albert Barese at Vesuvio. Ralphie makes an off colour joke about Ginny Sack's weight - saying she has had a 95 pound mole removed from her ass. While Paulie is incarcerated Patsy and Little Paulie have arranged a sit down on his behalf to discuss Ralphie's division of jobs at the esplanade site. It takes place in Satriales and Silvio presides. After some haggling they settle with five jobs - three no works and two no shows. As capo Paulie receives the first no show job. Silvio announces that Tony wants Christopher as acting capo of Paulie's crew during his absence and gives Chris the second no show job. This upsets Patsy who believes he has seniority over Chris because he has been a made man for longer. Indeed it was Patsy and not Christopher who negotiated the jobs in the meeting.
As they leave the meeting Chris jokes to Silvio that the first thing he will do is get wings in his hair. Sil is not amused - he is also put out by the promotion as he realises that Chris is starting to usurp his place in Tony's inner circle. Chris later visits the construction site where Patsy, Benny Fazio, Little Paulie, Donny K and Vito are enjoying their no work jobs. The guys have noticed a lot of valuable materials lying around - they mention this to Chris and he seems interested.
When the materials go missing Tony immediately calls Chris in to reprimand him. Tony tells him he is not seeing the financial potential of the construction contracts and is angry about the unwanted attention thefts will bring to their involvement in the job. Christopher goes home to get high and complain to Adriana. He also relays the rebuke to crew members Patsy and Little Paulie but Patsy insists Chris gave him a look that he took as a go ahead.
Later Silvio complains to Tony that Patsy feels marginalized by Chris' promotion. Tony doesn't seme too worried but Sil is obviously upset about having a new rival. Later Patsy visits Sil at the Bing and mentions some floor tiles at the site - Silvio tells him to steal them in spite of Tony's orders. Following this theft Jack Massarone finds Tony playing golf with Artie Bucco and tells him about what has happened. Chris gets a verbal battering from Tony for not controlling his crew. He drives straight to the Esplanade site despite being on his way to a prior engagement with Ade at her mother's house. Chris argues with Patsy and the argument descends into violence. When a construction worker threatens to phone the police Patsy beats him with a scaffolding pole.
Adriana continues in her friendship with "Danielle", an undercover FBI agent, arranging to meet her at the Crazy Horse. When they meet Adriana discusses her fears that she may be unable to have children because of complications of an abortion she had before she was with Christopher. Danielle had been pushing Ade to reveal Chris' involvement with the mafiaso was a little surprised with what she did learn. However she sympathetically offers to recommend a good OBGYN her sister knows in New York - she has actually just had a baby herself. Chris and Little Paulie arrive at the club and Chris gives Little Paulie some cocaine right in front of Danielle.
Ralphie and Janice's relationship continues and they are spending time at Janice's house. Tony arrives unexpectedly and Ralphie hides upstairs - when Tony finds his shoe he warns Janice about getting involved with Ralph but she is unreceptive. Little Paulie visits his Uncle in Youngstown and gives him the news from the sitdown. Paulie asks if anyone has been to visit his ma and Little Paulie tells him no-one has but that Tony sent a box of chocolates. Little Paulie relays Ralph's joke from Albert's birthday party which Paulie does not find funny.
Christopher and Adriana are spending the evening at Crazy Horse with Danielle. Christopher kisses Adriana and puts a hand on Danielle's thigh which starts an argument between him and Adrianna and prompts Danielle to leave. Chris claims Danielle put his hand on her thigh and Adriana chooses to believe him. She stops returning Danielle's calls. The FBI decides to bring Adriana in and reveal Danielle's true identity - Special Agent Deborah Ciccerone. Agent Harris accompanies agent Ciccerone to pick up Adriana. She is taken to meet with Chief Cubitoso where the agents tell her she can choose between 25 years in prison for possession and intent to supply or begin co-operating with them. Adriana promptly vomits all over the table and Chief Cubitoso.
Title reference - The title refers to the way the mob assigns paid jobs at a construction site to workers who never have to show up but continue to be paid. In the episode, the Family splits the no show jobs between Ralph and Paulie's crews - Christopher and Paulie both receive a no show job.
