This episode is epically underrated. When I used to watch it, it was remembered for Vito jr taking a dump in the shower and Phil's epic speech to Vito junior.
Upon multiple rewatches, it's one of my favorite episodes. It shows Tony as the most relatable (to me) person ever. I've lost it on my wife exactly like Tony did in that episode, and had such beautiful makeups as Tony did with carm in the episode.
Even Tony with Hesh... never once does he actually threaten to harm Hesh..... but Tony, blindly, assumes Hesh is family and isn't concerned about the money. "It's a stutter step"... Hesh expects some sort of payment and Tony is embarrassed and hurt by Hesh... then Tony pays Hesh all his money back when his wife dies... cause that's how Tony assumes he shows Hesh he cares... Tony's badly understood and a lot of people use this episode to point to him "breaking bad"... I see this episode as the opposite: it's Tony being himself and hurt by the people who he loves and respects.
