She invited new husband Rudy to live with her in Beverly Hills, but he was reluctant to leave Virginia, who was surprised to learn of his newfound crush on her.

~ Uncle Tony was keen to return to New York upon hearing news that his father had suffered a heart attack; if the patriarch passed, it would make Tony head of the Family. Tony invited Joey to be his consigliere if that happened, but until then, he gave Joey his old job back as manager of the Oasis.

~ Libby showed Vincent the case file given to her by the FBI Agent. She was astonished that her Talent Agent ‘Wink’ Winklestein - who had disappeared with client’s money - had been found dead in Mexico with her savings bonds, the deed to her home ...  and an offer for a movie.   
~ Uncle Tony gave Peggy Sue his mother’s ring, and she proposed. Tony told Joey and Bobby he was engaged, and reluctantly called his father to share the news.   Peggy Sue invited Audrey to help plan the wedding.
