10/10
Although getting involved in organized crime is always a bad idea...

... it is a particularly bad idea if you are not very bright. Think back on Matt Bevilaqua who misinterpreted something Ritchie Aprile said, and this week it's Jackie Aprile Jr definitely not misinterpreting something that his mother's boyfriend Ralph said and then relying on equally unwise companions.

Tony's management style is on display when he brings in Ralph to decide the boy's fate. When Ralph says he wants to give the lad a pass, Tony says the decision is all up to Ralph while at the same time making it pretty clear that it is not all up to Ralph.

Complicating things is the fact that Jackie Jr. Has been dating Tony's daughter Meadow. When Tony sees Jackie fooling around with one of the girls at a strip club he goes ballistic. Maybe he doesn't want his daughter to have the same kind of husband that her mother has? Sometimes it seems that Meadow is the only person Tony does actually love.

Also during this episode Tony discovers that his latest girlfriend is a goofball. For all of the smart decisions he makes - considering he is a mob boss - he never considers picking a woman up in a psychiatrist's waiting room might not be a good idea?

Another fine episode of the Sopranos.
