A fine character study episode. Ups and downs (especially with Tony).... he showed what a prick he could be, especially to Carm, with his money comments that developed into their fight and with him being pissy towards Hesh BUT he showed a decent side, too (his stepping up-to-the-plate with Marie Spatafore and finally giving Hesh all the money back after Hesh's wife died).

I liked the episode and consider it one of the (necessary) bridge episodes that appears every season.

It was the first time in a long time that I felt sorry for AJ.

Whats up with the Middle Eastern guys (at the mosque)?
