As Jackie gets adjusted to living at the projects, he calls Tony and tries to tell him where he is so they can settle the matter before Jackie gets killed. Tony tells him to stay where he is but to talk to Ralphie who is making the final judgment call on what will happen. Tony then meets Ralphie at a parking lot where Tony tells him that whatever Ralphie decides that it be handeled in a timely fashion.

Meanwhile, Anthony Jr. and another friend are caught stealing a Geometry after their urine samples were taken off of a hallway and tested for DNA evidence. The principal had warned A.J. in the past that he was on probation and that now he is expelled from Verbum Dei. Carmela calls Tony in tears saying that he has to come home right now. Tony becomes extremely angered when he hears the news and decides to save A.J. before it is too late. Tony then brings out a list of brochures for military school which were given to him by Janice. Over dinner, Tony and Carmela look at the schools they prefer as A.J. nervously awaits his pending fate. Carmela then receives a phone call from Marie, Rosalie's sister informing her that Jackie was shot and killed by "drug dealers". Carmela then hurries over to Rosalie's to comfort her grieving friend.

Paulie Walnuts demands that Tony have a sitdown with himself and Ralphie. When the request is finally honored, Paulie states that because he shared a vault with Ralphie and all of the combinations, Ralphie began stealing the entire sum of money instead of the percentage which he was supposed to earn. Tony listens to the case and decides that Ralphie return $12,000.00 of the money back to Paulie. Paulie is extremely offended and upset at Tony's final ruling. When Paulie tries to convince Tony to reconsider, Silvio intrudes stating that Tony has made the decision and the sitdown is over.
Uncle Junior is in remission with his cancer and is now competent enough to deal with a RICO trial. As the FBI gears up to start the trial they also want to bring Tony down with him. Because of Pussy Bonpensiero now "M.I.A." (actually deceased) Agent Harris recommends that they pressure Christopher Moltisanti's fiancee, Adriana La Cerva to provide them with some information. Bureau Chief Cubitoso then sends Agent Deborah Ciccerone on a mission to befriend Adriana and to slowly receive information from her.
A.J. then goes for an appointment with the Major who lays out the basic schedule for students that attend the school. A.J. gives a befuddled look as the major tells him what to expect as a new recruit. The major then has a talk with Tony and Carmela about the rigorous program and how he believes A.J. will greatly benefit from the program. Carmela is still a little concerned since she believes they are training him to be a "professional killer". Tony tries to convince Carmela that it would be good for A.J. since it will teach him discipline.
At Jackie's wake, Rosalie and daughter Kelli are extremely emotional as expected. When Meadow sees Jackie lying in his casket she begins to cry uncontrollably. Tony and Carmela try to comfort her as Rosalie is upset that hardly anyone is there due to Super Bowl Sunday. When everyone settles down, Carmela views Jackie lying in his casket and decides to support Tony's decision to send A.J. to military school.
As A.J. prepares to ready for military school, he puts on his uniform for Tony and Carmela. A.J. believes that he looks horrible and that he does not want to go. He then starts crying when Tony tells him to stop it and that "he needs toughening up". Carmela tries to make him feel better but A.J. then proceeds to pass out. Tony tells Dr. Melfi this and is angered that A.J. has inherited his gene of panic attacks. Tony then tells Melfi that they cannot send him to military school because of this and that they have to look for another school.
On the day of Jackie's burial, at the cemetery Christopher and Silvio are arrested for illegal gambling and are escorted to the District Attorney's office. Uncle Junior witnesses this and runs back to his car almost leaving Bobby Bacala behind. After the burial, a small group of people return to Rosalie's to get her adjusted and then proceed to Vesuvio. At Vesuvio, Paulie tries to woo Johnny Sack and to send his regards to Carmine because of the way Tony handeled his sitdown. Uncle Junior then begins to sing Italian love songs. Everyone is touched except for a very drunk Meadow who begins to throw pieces of bread at Junior as he sings. When she is caught, Meadow then quickly runs out of the restaurant where she is chased by Tony. She tells him that "this is such bullshit" and proceeds to run into the street. Tony then quietly tells Carmela that she went back to Columbia and hopefully has money. He then puts his arms around A.J. as they listen to Uncle Junior continue to sing.
