Johnny Sack's lawyer, Ron, meets with the prosecutor, Renee, to try to cut a deal. She offers up a sentence of twenty years in prison and 90\% of Johnny's assets seized. Ron is shocked, and says that they might as well go to trial. Renee points out that they have good evidence, so a trial may not be Johnny's best option, but she asks for a counter-offer. Johnny's lawyer repeats something he has clearly said many times -- that Johnny wants the items that have nothing to do with him left alone. That would include the house, Ginny's car, Ginny's IRA, and his daughter's condo. And he also only wants to serve twelve years. Renee scoffs, "For conspiracy to commit murder? Get back to me when you're sober, Ron."

Tony hangs out at the Bacala house, waiting for dinner and watching football with Bobby. Tony's annoyed because his recliner doesn't recline, giving him just one more thing to put in the negative column of the mental scorecard he's clearly creating against Bobby. Janice comes in and hands the two guys beers, and says Carmela will be along shortly. Bobby asks when Barb and Tom will get there, and Janice says that she asked them to bring wine, and they'll see how long that takes. See? More tantalizing information about Barb and Tom. I'm fascinated by them. Why does it take them a long time to get wine? Are they idiots? Or do they just seize on any excuse to show up late to dinner and leave early because they hate the Soprano family? Janice asks Bobby whether he took his Vicodin, and then snatches the beer out of his hands. Tony adds that to his "Bobby is weak" tally, and then tries to make conversation about the football game. Bobby Jr. walks by and says that he's going over to his friend's house to watch the Chargers. Bobby can't believe his son doesn't want to watch the Giants play, and Bobby Jr. says that he hates "the fucking Giants." Father and son continue to argue, and Bobby Jr. points out that AJ didn't have to come to Sunday dinner. Janice shows up and mock-sweetly points out that AJ's is working, and Bobby Jr. is free to go get a job, too, as soon as he reads his last report card out loud to everyone. Tony looks curious, but Bobby Jr. doesn't move. Janice tells him to go finish his Spanish report before dinner, and he takes off up the stairs, dejected. Janice tells her stepdaughter to set the table for dinner, and she does. So Janice clearly wears the pants in the family -- the kids listen to her, and don't listen to Bobby. Now, that could be because Janice is fucking terrifying, and damaging those kids for life, but I don't know if Tony sees it that way, because it's just more evidence for his "Bobby is weak" campaign.
