We kick off this week with a little more action than we've seen in awhile, especially after last week's quiet and focused episode that will probably give Edie Falco the Emmy that she most certainly deserves. Paulie is looking to pull in a few g's, and hitting a Colombian spot that is supposed to be wide open for the taking. Of course, this leads to not only his groin injury (which led to some comic relief later on in the show), but some more problems between Bobby, Vito, and the gang. I was happy that Silvio ended up being the one taking charge of the family, but it is becoming more and more apparent that this is going to be a problem, and he's not making things easy for himself.

I thought that seeing Melfi bump into Carm at the grocery store was a great way for the two of them to see one another, and Father Phil is present and accounted for at the hospital, too. While the Soprano kids seem to be taking a big brunt of the public issues with Tony being in the hospital, Meadow looks to have the straightest head on at the moment, even with her mother around. Should we be surprised to see Christopher taking a stand and looking to make himself (and the family) some money, while Vito, Bobby, and Paulie are all seemingly looking out for themselves? Sure, Christopher wants his thing to look good, but he at least seems dedicated to the whole thing, and not looking to take advantage of the situation - we can't say the same thing for the others.
