Luxury Lounge
Chris and Little Carmine head out to Hollywood to pursue Chris' dream of making a movie about his life. They manage to get an interview with Ben Kingsley, but the star isn't impressed with their idea. While in town, Chris falls off the wagon and starts drinking and doing drugs again, and also mugs Lauren Bacall before returning to New Jersey. Back home, the families are celebrating as the books open again to induct two new members, Gerry Torciano and Burt Gervasi. Amidst the festivities, however, Artie gets into a confrontation with Benny, one of Chris' crew-members, first over his affections for Artie's new waitress Martina, then later when Artie discovers that Martina and Benny have been stealing credit card numbers from the restaurant's customers. When things turn violent between the two, Tony must step in and mediate, saving particular criticism for Chris for going to Hollywood rather than keeping his men under control.

He still has problems accepting the truth about himself, however, and reacts violently when Jim returns his affections.

The Ride
Paulie, who is in charge of organizing the local festival for St. Elzear, has an argument with the local priest over how much of cut the church will be taking. When Paulie refuses the father's demands, he is told that they will not be able to use the church's golden hat traditionally worn by the statue of St. Elzear during the festival. Later, the conspicuous absence of the hat is noted by many, and when a children's ride collapses because of shoddy maintenance fingers are pointed at Paulie for putting the kids in danger for his own profit. In addition to this, Paulie learns that he may have cancer. Chris, meanwhile, learns that his girlfriend is pregnant, and immediately proposes to her. His bachelor party, however, gets out of hand as Chris once more begins shooting heroin. At the same time, Adriana's mother throws around accusations that Chris murdered her daughter. Tony does his best to convince Carmela of Chris' innocence, but Adriana is still nowhere to be found.
