The episode did leave a lot of the plotlines unresolved.
Paulie Walnuts seems to be developing into a problem for Tony, whereas all of a sudden Ralphie is his boy. The last few episodes have emphasized what a mean, cranky, not very bright kind of guy Paulie is, when his character wasn't much like that in previous seasons.
It was good to see Anthony jr. get smacked across the mouth, the little crybaby deserved it...his sister still needs her leash shortened up considerably.
The scene at the end with Junior singing in Italian went on way too long and was lame to start with.
Although the show doesn't usually follow a linear plot from one week to the next, this season did have a disjointed feel to it, as if they had no basic plot for the season outlined and simply wrote each show's script on the fly.
