- TriviaCarmela is humming while in the shower. The tune is from the Italian song that she and Furio danced to at his housewarming in episode 4 The Weight.
- GoofsTony pays the artist $6,500 by pulling out a few bills counting them in a half hazard manner and handing them over. The largest denomination bill in circulation is the hundred dollar bill, nothing larger is in use. $6,500 would require 65 bills, not something that can be counted in a few seconds, and the stack of bills would be much larger than he handed the artist.
- Quotes
[In the nursing home, where his mother lives]
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I don't understand. All the money I put in this place, and my mother is getting picked on by the others. I want it stopped.
Nursing home supervisor: You'll have to excuse these girls. Sometimes they think it's a high school with wheelchairs.

The latter comes in the form of Paulie Gualtieri, who finally gets to see his mother again after spending time behind bars. He is shocked to discover she isn't treated very well by fellow seniors and enlists some special help to take care of the mess. Meanwhile, Tony learns Ralph's new mistress shares his passion for horses, which soon turns into something more dangerous and leads to big trouble at home with Carmela.
Watching the Soprano spouses argue is always a pleasure, but this time the limelight is gleefully stolen by Tony Sirico, who obviously enjoys putting Paulie's more twisted side on display: his efforts to make Mrs. Gualtieri's stay at Grren Grove more comfortable are a great example of good grown-up comedy.
Actually, the Soprano family manages to reclaim the spotlight in one scene, but not in the way you might expect: I'll just say it involves Tony, his sister and a discussion about Ralphie's sexual quirks. Yikes.
