Tony comes rattling down the stairs. Furio hands him a ticket envelope, and Tony samples a scone and nods approvingly at Carm, who gives him an inscrutably irritated look in return before dismissing AJ to his room. AJ stomps off. Tony comes around the breakfast bar and gives Carmela the tickets, and she reads aloud: "Ocean Club at Paradise Cove." Tony grabs her and dances her around, telling her they leave tomorrow for "three beautiful days" of R&R. Furio: "[Hangdog.]" "Tomorrow?" Carmela repeats, her mind clearly racing to find a pretext for not going. Tony knows it's short notice, but he got first-class plane tickets, a view suite at Carm's doubtful look, he trails off. "What?" Carmela starts coming up with excuses, including AJ, her mother's skin condition, and the time it's going to take her to pack. "To pack," Tony repeats flatly, shooting Furio a "you believe this crap?" look. Furio glums that he'll go wait in the car, and Tony tries to convince her, claiming that "with all the shit that's been goin' on, I mean, the horse and all," he knows Carmela needs a break. Yeah, you read that right. Carm and I both stare at Tony all "yeah wait, what?" as he goes on to say that, "deep down, that's probably the reason you got your hair cut." Right. Because of the horse. That Carmela saw one time. Nope, no projection there.
