Melfi is crying, asking Peter Bogdanovich (hereafter known as PB), if she was being deliberately insensitive to Tony. PB asks if Melfi's still taking her meds. She is. She says she's also been drinking alone. She keeps crying. She says she's afraid. Tony knows where her son goes to college. She says she took Tony back because she felt responsible for him. PB says he's not challenging her ethics or her accountability, but he doesn't know what she hopes to achieve with Tony. Melfi says she's living in a moral Never-Never Land with him, not wanting to judge but to treat, and now she's judged him and she's scared. "I feel for you," PB says, not helping a single damn person.

Christopher's mom (Joanne) kisses him goodbye, asking what he wants for breakfast. Chris says that she doesn't get up until noon. She says she'll get up early tomorrow and promises to bring him some food. Carmela arrives as Joanne's leaving. They hug. Carmela sits on Christopher's bed (with her copy of Memoirs of a Geisha) and asks if his painkillers are working. Chris admits that they are "pretty fucking good." Carm says that when his heart stopped, she walked down to an empty room and prayed to Jesus to spare him. She says she asked for Christ to grant him vision. "Yeah, so?" Chris asks. Carmela says that he was spared, and he saw something that none of them have ever seen. She smiles and asks what Jesus said to him. Christopher says he didn't see Jesus. Carmela says that Tony said he saw Jesus, and that Jesus took him up to Heaven to see his father and then told him that it wasn't his time. Christopher says he was in Hell, and that he was told he was going to go there when it was his time. Carmela thinks for a second and then tells Christopher that he has to use this experience as an opportunity to repent. "To start to walk in the light of the Lord." She says Chris was blessed with a second chance. She says she's going to pray every day from now on for him. "It is not too late for you, Christopher. If you pray. Will you pray?" Christopher nods, and they pray together. Christopher hits his morphine drip.
