Christopher fights for his life in hospital whilst the 'family' search for Matt.

This is a compelling and dramatic episode with some darkly humorous moments.

Several characters have a strong focus, particularly around their belief systems. All scenes involving Carmela are written very intriguingly as we see her religious conviction exists alongside her hypocrisy. Edie Falco gives one of the strongest performances of the episode.

Paulie Walnuts' character is expanded in a number of ways. His spiritual side is hilariously portrayed in several scenes, along with some gentle and sensitive moments. Tony Serico is on top form in some of the character's most entertaining scenes in the show.

I won't say anything else about the plot not to spoil, but it's safe to say that it has a number of very gripping moments. Personally I don't think it works quite as well on a rewatch as some other episodes when you know what's coming

Drea DiMatteo, James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, and Vincent Pastore are give strong performances, particularly DiMatteo.

The production values are excellent. As always the storytelling is done with great visuals and sound.
