A flashback to the episode "All Due Respect" shows Tony Soprano fleeing when Johnny Sack is arrested by the FBI. A teenage boy sees Tony throw a pistol into the snow and retrieves the gun. In the current episode, the boy is arrested on a drug charge and the gun is found in his possession, with hollow-point bullets in it. Essex County Sheriffs ostentatiously arrest Tony on a gun charge based on the boy's testimony. He is briefly jailed but his attorney, Neil Mink, easily secures his release on bail. The gun charge is soon dropped, and no longer hangs over his approaching birthday weekend. The FBI later includes this charge in building a RICO case against Tony .
