This Christmas, Satriale's needs someone to play Santa now that Pussy isn't around anymore. This causes Tony to think back on their past together, to find just when Pussy started working for the FBI. Later, while preparing Christmas dinner, Janice comments that her wrist still hurts from the time the Russians paid her a visit. Tony gets the name of the goon who hurt her and provides his sister with an early Christmas gift. Still later, he catches Jackie Jr. getting a lap dance from one of the girls at the Bada Bing. Enraged that Jackie is cheating on his daughter, Tony beats him up, after which he learns that Jackie is also flunking out of college. The kid promises that he'll still take care of Meadow without getting into mob business, but his excuses ring of desperation.
