Tony and Carmela travel to Janice and Bobby's upstate New York cabin to celebrate Tony's birthday. Tony and Bobby bond as they fire a customized Armalite AR-10 A4C Carbine assault rifle, Bobby's birthday present to Tony, in the nearby woods. Tony gives Bobby a major new responsibility in the Soprano crime family and hints at a still higher position. Bobby muses how suddenly and silently death can happen in their lives as gangsters: "You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?" Tony comments that Bobby has never popped his cherry (never killed anyone) in contrast with Bobby's father. Bobby replies that he has come close, but that his father never wanted it for him.
