PAUL: Yeah, I guess I did, huh?

Back to the episode, which I think ranks among the all-time best of the entire series.

Did Ralphie light up the stable? That's a question that I think won't ever be answered. Maybe after Tony told him about Valentina, that was a breaking point for Ralphie. Maybe that was a way for Ralph to get back at Tony.

But maybe no one did it; maybe it was just an accident. If it was, then this was an even bigger blunder on Tony's part. This looks like it will ignite a war between North Jersey and New York. Does the Soprano/DeMeo Family have the muscle to go toe-to-toe with Lupertazzi's Family?

One more thing: recall the scene where Tony woke up in the Bing office. He went to the mirror and checked his eyes. As he did that, his attention was diverted to a picture on the mirror. Was it a picture of Tracee (the girl Ralphie killed last season) he was looking at?

As Tony was choking Ralphie to death, he screamed in rage, "She was beautiful and innocent. What did she ever do to you?"

Was he talking about the horse, or was he really talking about Tracee?
