action

Christopher barely survived the Gismonte and Bevilaqua assassination attempt. But he was clinically dead for a full minute. Carmela Soprano prays to Jesus Christ for Christopher's recovery. When he wakes up again, he tells of how he was in hell. There he met his buddy Brendan Filone and his killer Mikey Palmice. Both are now friends and sit in an Irish pub , where St. Patrick's Day is every day . They gave Christopher a message for Tony and Paulie: "Three o'clock".

Tony thinks Christopher's story is nonsense, while Paulie becomes obsessed with the news. Paulie tells Christopher that maybe it would be just (Catholic) limbo and not final hell. Every time he wakes up at three at night, he panics and drives his current girlfriend crazy. She recommends that he visit a medium. Paulie had donated money to the church on a regular basis and thought it would save him from that panic. Angry, he stops donating.

Carmela learns from Gabriella Dante that a well-known Mafioso, Ralphie Rotaldo, has a baby with his lover. Tony and Carmela subsequently have a violent marital argument when she suggests Tony have a vasectomy . She doesn't want him to have a bastard child. Tony had also told her that Christopher had gone to Heaven, not Hell . Then Tony argues with AJ and later apologizes. Carmela later dismisses the idea of ​​the vasectomy and she says she wants to trust him and maybe have a third child.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero is afraid that Tony will find out about his collaboration with the FBI . Pussy tries to win Tony's affection by catching Matthew Bevilaqua. He finds him in Hacklebarney State Park in Chester Township, New Jersey , near a house where George Washington slept. Pussy calls Tony and the two torture Matt. Tony then tells him not to worry while he unpacks. Then nothing will happen to him. Matt says he knew about the attack but was solely responsible for Sean Gismonte. Contrary to the agreement, Tony announced the murder and after Matt yelled for his mother, Tony and Pussy literally riddled Matt with bullets.

Tony and Pussy then go to the steakhouse where they celebrated after Tony's first murder. They both fool around and then they talk about God. Pussy says he believed in God and that God was generous to him. Both toast each other.
