Still one of my favs. Johnny Sac's devotion to Ginny is so endearing only to be discarded when he realizes she doesn't have much "honor" by lying and cheating on her "diet". The exchanges between the bosses are hilarious. But on a sad note: it's worth mentioning the actress who played Ginny would later die of cancer after playing a character whose husband dies of cancer. Another point of note; Tony specifically gives Carmella a small size dress after having talked with Johnny about the fat joke. I think John standing up for his wife's honour is great, but I don't think it's the only reason he demands restitution. Just as it is a slight against Ginny, it's also a slight against John, if someone can go about insulting John even by extension, then that undermines his respect in the hierarchy of the mob. Johnny Sac was one of the few that truly loved and honored his wife on the show. He was really shaken by the joke personally and professionally. Great episode showing all the rules of protocol the way mobsters speak to each other. There's so much subtext to what everyone says. No ones says what they mean, but somehow everyone understands the meaning with a glance or a nod. It's like existing in the French Court at Versailles. I forget his name tho, The Something.
