Storyline

Christopher has been dating real estate agent Julianna Skiff. He isn't quite sure how to tell Tony but that's the least of his problems: they're regularly smoking crack. Tony decides the time has for a little retaliation against Phil Leotardo over what he did to Vito and arranges to have one of his wire stores blown up. Before it all gets out of hand, Carmine Jr. arranges a meeting between between the two sides. It seems to be going okay but doesn't end well. Phil's men urge him to do something about the Soprano family but before he can do so, Phil finds himself in the hospital. AJ goes out on a date with Blanca and they begin a relationship. AJ says he has no problem with the fact that she has a three old boy but it doesn't go over well with Tony and Carmela at Christmas-time.

User Reviews

Worst episode ever!

I just recently started watching the Sopranos, buying seasons 1-5 on DVD after witnessing the phenomenal season six premiere. All season long the episodes were either a hit or a miss and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that the episodes were very uneven in relation to the overall plot. The epitome of the season's mediocrity was displayed for all to see in today's (June 4, 2006) season finale. Nothing substantial occurred. The only thing that somewhat interested me was AJ's new love interest, a product of his job that his father forced him to take. I would recommend to anyone who asked never to watch nor to purchase this season as it has disappointed and frustrated me to no end. Hopefully Chase and the other writers will redeem themselves in the final eight episodes of this flailing series.
