Denial, Anger, Acceptance

...and we cut to Meadow's chorus concert. Tony comes in late, stops in the aisle to gaze lovingly at his daughter, and sits beside Carmela, who doesn't acknowledge him.

Cut to Christopher getting an ice cream. As he unwraps the cone, two guys come out of nowhere to flank him, and they start quietly pounding on him as he struggles.

Back to the concert. Smiling beneficently, Tony takes Carmela's hand and puts it in the crook of his arm. A shot of Meadow and Hunter in their (actually, quite pretty) chorus outfits; as we go into the piano bridge, Carmela stiffly withdraws her hand and wipes her nose without looking at Tony.

Cut to a pier, where Christopher yells "let me go, what're you guys doing" about a hundred times as the thugs drag him, tied up, across the wet planks. They take out their guns and cock the hammers, and Christopher hollers that he knows they're friends with Tony's goomah, they have to listen to him, he had to give Meadow the crystal or she would have gone down to Jefferson Avenue and gotten raped and beaten up, "I don't wanna die now I didn't mean it I'm sorry," on and on with the wailing and sobbing, and the one thug pulls the trigger...click. Christopher's eyes snap open and the thug crosses himself with the gun, and they kick him over on his side and leave him there and walk off laughing, and he lies on the ground crying and shouting, "Fuck!" and trying to untie himself

Cut to a close-up of Hunter -- ouch -- and as we go into another piano bridge, Hunter shoots Meadow a knowing look, which Meadow returns. The two of them look kind of cranked out, but I can't tell for sure. Meadow comes in on cue and does a passable job, as does Hunter. Tony winces sadly but looks proud of her. Another shot of the girls...

...and cut to Brendan in the bathtub, smoking. Fortunately, no nudity. He opens his eyes to see Mikey standing there with a gun and delivering the hopelessly cheesy line, "Hi, Jack. Bye, Jack." Brendan starts to protest. Close-up of his eye widening; close-up of the barrel of the gun silencer discharging; close-up of Brendan's foot twitching in the throes of death. Artsy shot of Brendan's hand in the tub, the cigarette floating next to it and a plume of blood curling through the water below. Mikey leaves the bathroom, walking past Junior, who looks pleased.

Back to the concert, with Hunter and Meadow in a duet to finish the song. Tony looks weepy, but at the end, he smiles. End credits.
