Kelly playing miss hostess the way that Carm used to. Tony walking over breaking his balls telling him when to turn the steaks and the ribs, and Christopher gives him this look. Almost one that resonated "boss me around all you want right now, even about my BBQing, but someday......."


Hmm... I saw it differently. I took it as Bobby Bacala as becoming Tony's "choice" for replacement. The scene in which Tony, Silvio and Bobby are discussing some future income making scheme (MRI's?) and Chris storms in to complain about Paulie. Tony was upset over that intrusion AND it was Bobby Bacala who asked what the problem was.

In any event, I disagree with the above poster who said that Chris actually liked JT. Chris had no qualms about beating him upside the head (with the trophy) a few episodes back. I sure hope somebody doesn't like me that much.
