action

Tony accompanies Meadow in search of a suitable university for her north to Maine . You first attend Bates College and then Colby College . When the daughter asks her father if he is in the mafia , Tony reacts insecure and initially denies everything. Then he tells her that there is no Mafia and that he works in the garbage disposal business. Finally, he explains that part of his income comes from illegal gambling and other illegal sources of income. Meadow tells him she used drugs. On the one hand, the father is outraged, on the other hand, the confession to his daughter improves a little. At a gas station, Tony suddenly recognizes Febby Petrulio. This is a former gangster who was accepted into the witness protection program years ago after violating the Omertà , the mafia's vow of silence. Without Meadow understanding what is happening, Tony follows the man and identifies his place of residence. However, Petrulio discovers Tony in turn and sneaks after him. He has the opportunity to murder Tony, but hesitates because he gets a remorse. Tony, in turn, sneaks up unnoticed the next day and ruthlessly murders Febby by torturing him. He'd dropped his daughter off at college beforehand, and he'll pick her up after the murder as if nothing had happened.

At Bowdoin College , a pensive Tony reads a motto by author Nathaniel Hawthorne :

"No man ... can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one may be true."

"Nobody can put on a face for themselves and one for the crowd without in the end not being in doubt about which one might be the real one"

In New Jersey, Carmela Soprano is visited by Father Phil. Both get close emotionally. When Dr. When Melfi calls Carmela, she is appalled that her husband's psychiatrist is a woman.
