Money in money out

Someone saw Tony and Pussy kill Matt, which throws Tony into a mild panic. Tony and Richie keep the pressure on David Scatino, who still owes them thousands of dollars, and David's business soon goes Chapter 11. Tony spends a little more time with AJ after being dressed down by Carmela. Richie cozies up to Junior even more after Janice puts the arm on him during sex. Carmela is at her most annoying while dining out with one of the gals, revealing that she has been dreaming about the gal's brother, a handsome widower. It's funny to watch the interplay between Tony and AJ. Tony in his own way wants to be closer to his son, and AJ is OK with the idea but responds to his father in typically bland fashion. The final shot, with the two bonding while on board a large yacht, is a kick.
