Poor JT, he finally gets a break, writing for Law & Order, just tryin to make a deadline, wanting to go to sleep, and Chris comes in, all drunk and bitchy, he tries to help, Chris yells at him, and finally shoots him in the head....

I think the Aide situation is seen from 2 totally different perspectives by Tony and Christopher. Chris, on one hand, thinks that he had a choice in siding with Aide (witness protection) or Tony (as he did). By siding with Tony, he feels Tony "owes" him something in return. Tony, conversely, feels that, in this life, there WAS NO choice. Chris had to let Aide be killed. So, according to Tony, if Chris was just doing his job, why should he owe him something?

I bet Meadow's mystery date is Dick Barone, Jr. I saw a look in season 6, part 1...

Tony cooperating with the Feds, as was previously posted, was insurance. He did not say anything about his life and crew, so to Tony, it was ok by Mob code.

Great, great episode.
