Junior and his entire gang get arrested. The short scenes where the feds show up at their houses are actually pretty funny. There's a knock on the door, and then each and all mutter a quick curse when they realize the indictments have come down. Junior's especially funny, since he pokes his little bald head and Mr. Magoo glasses out from under the curtain and yells "oh fuck" in a strangely squeaky voice. I laughed, anyway. Maybe you have to see it for yourself. Anyway, the whole gang: Alfalfa, Darla, Buckwheat. They're all arrested. Carmela and Tony watch it on the news. Meadow walks in and is quasi-shocked to see her Uncle Junior getting hauled in. Tony tries to play it off that Junior's a respectable business man and that he's shocked (shocked!) to see him being made to do the "perp walk." Meadow tells him to cut the crap.
Tony and Carmela sit down to discuss the situation. It seems that Tony wasn't named in the indictment, because the FBI was focusing on some credit-card scam that Junior and Mikey P were handling. Tony just wasn't involved. Luck. It was all luck.
Artie is conferring with his clergyman again. Artie has decided to be a ray of sunlight in an otherwise bleak and grey world. The priest and I aren't following. Well, it seems that Artie has decided that Livia is not the most trustworthy witness. She tends to be overly negative and lives in what the rest of us might call La La Land. Perhaps he shouldn't so write off an old, trusted friend so quickly just because his mom is a wack bitch who hates her own son and tries to ruin his life in every way she can. Good idea there, Artie.
Look who just stepped off the runway. It's Junior Soprano, sporting a lovely orange jumpsuit. Is it a Donatella or a Lawrence Steele? Oh, who cares, it's the latest rage in the fall shows in Milan. Junior's talking to some chumpy Fed, who's trying to get him to flip by making him feel like less of a man. Do you think that's why they make prisoners wear bright orange? To make them feel emasculated? Maybe they should make them wear fuchsia. That could work. The fed is pointing out that Junior had a short reign as capo. He wasn't really in charge, was he? They're not really interested in Junior; they want his capos. Junior points out that he wants to fuck Angie Dickinson, and he can't wait to see who gets lucky first. Hee hee hee. The fed's tactics aren't really working, although Junior does look perturbed at the idea of Tony running the show while he's in the can.
