Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a scene in Naples, Paulie again tries to greet a passing Italian man, telling him he's from America. But the local guy only asks Paulie if he's from "NATO" and whether he 'cut our ski-lift cable.' This is a reference to a 1998 disaster in which a low-flying NATO-based U.S. Marine Corps jet on a training ran over northern Italy, accidentally cutting the lift lines in the resort town of Cavalese, causing the death of 20 people.
- GoofsAs the guys are waiting for Chris in Pussy's car at the airport near the episode's end, from the window of the car you can see Chris coming through the terminal's revolving door, and then, seconds later, he does it again, this time approaching the car, as intended.

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [when it becomes clear that Don Vittoria, boss of the Naples family, is senile] Ton', you give this guy a golf club, he'll probably try to fuck it.

Featured review
"Let the Pope live with him."
Tony, Paulie, and Christopher fly to Naples to conduct a business deal involving a car-import business inherited from Uncle Junior. And back at home, Big Pussy's wife Angie (Toni Kalem, "Silent Rage") is not exactly happy to have him back; she states to Carmela that she'd rather divorce him. And speaking of Salvatore, he's getting stressed out trying to balance his separate lives.
The change of setting really gives the series a breath of fresh air. While Tony attempts to be all-business, it's Paulie who provides the brightest and most amusing moments as it's clear that he's loving being back in the "Old Country", even if at times he can be a little out of place. Tony is in for a surprise regarding the don, and must instead deal with his daughter (the super-sexy, and very self-assured Sofia Milos ('CSI: Miami')); Tony is too set in old-fashioned, sexist ways to fully accept the idea of a female boss. But, in the end, he makes a deal to his liking, as he realizes that family member Furio (Federico Castellucio, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints") could be of great value back in America.
There are some wonderful bits here, and some powerful sequences as well. The performances are all on point, especially from the late, great Tony Sirico as Paulie. I especially loved it when he's chatting with a prostitute and realizes that they have something in common.
Another great episode with typically efficient direction by actor-turned-director Timothy Van Patten. It makes excellent, repeated use of "Con Te Partiro" by Andrea Bocelli.
Eight out of 10.
