After a brief bout of normalcy, AJ has again descended into deep depression worrying his parents and Meadow. He seems to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. His attempt at suicide is unsuccessful thanks to Tony's early arrival home. It lands him in the hospital. After one of Phil Leotardo's men, Coco Cogliano, makes a crude remark to Meadow when she's out for dinner with her new boyfriend, Tony beats him to within an inch of his life. Carmine Lupertazzi's attempt to make the peace falls on deaf ears and Phil refuses to even speak to Tony about the matter. War is in the air.
