This is the first episode of the downfall of Tony. From here on it's all going south. Also I think the fact that Ralphie mentioned the meat eating really upset tony. Meat has been a trigger for tony in the past, i.e. His first collapse in the pilot, the collapse as a young boy, meat has always been a trigger to him. The one thing about this episode that I always remembered is the performance by the actress who played Lois the horse trainer. She's unbelievable even saying so few words, she stole that scene. Very real and honest. 'You eat sausage and beef by the cart load!' - I always thought that was a good point lol. Not good enough to stop him getting killed though I guess. Tony killed Ralphie neither because of Tracy or Pie O My, rather Ralphie calls him a hypocrite, I always liked how the show does this, how they trick you by using Tony's rationale. My favorite episode of the series, the one that made an otherwise poor 4th season. The acting by Pantoliano, the goat smiling at the camera as one of the many hints of Satan, the fight between Tony and Ralphie á la Gladiator, Chris´ addiction setting us up for the events in The Silent Type, the shot of Tony staring at Tracee´s picture, and many more iconic moments.
