Original release date: June 23, 2022
In a flashback, Carmy works at a fine dining restaurant in New York City where his boss verbally abuses him. In the present, Carmy attempts to overhaul the menu as he faces continued resistance from the staff members who fail to show him respect. Carmy’s sister, Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto, attempts to help but struggles to connect with him. After a health inspector discovers multiple safety and sanitation issues, the restaurant is given a “C” rating. Carmy discovers how poorly the restaurant has been managed, and that his brother owed $300,000 to their family friend, Jimmy (referred to as “Uncle Cicero”). Cicero offers to buy the restaurant from Carmy, who refuses the offer but promises to pay back his brother’s loan. Sydney wants to be paid as a proper sous-chef. Richie reveals to Sydney that Michael wouldn’t allow Carmy to work in the restaurant when he was younger and that he shot himself in the head four months earlier.

Yo! Yo! What’s going on?
Nah, just It wasn’t dangerous…
CARMY: What’s dangerous?
…Ms. Chore, until you pulled it out.
NANCY: I discovered a large hole in the tile.
Looks like a former gas line next to the stovetops.
Not only was it not properly drywalled and caulked,
but someone clogged the hole with napkins
and then proxied over it with some kind of plastic.
RICHIE: Don’t look at me.
Grease seeped into the napkins and the proxy became unproxied.
What does that mean?
A potential crosscontaminate.
Additionally, no hot water in the hand station.
Wait, that hot water actua

and then he lost his mind, and now
he put you in a real tough spot.

Shoulda stopped by to break your legs,
but, you know, I guess I’m becoming forgetful.
Why’d you give him the money?
Very good question.
