Man, Ralphie wasn't much of a likable character, but he sure was funny as hell. That bit in the beginning was hilarious, the phone call to Paulie's mother! I hate to see him go, though... I bet DonPalentino must be upset!

I don't even think Ralphie had anything to do with the horse, actually. I felt bad for his kid, it really showed Ralphie's human side, but perhaps Tony unconsciously thought that perhaps he isn't strong enough to be in that business.

Christopher is a dumbass. I bet he was shooting up when Tony was looking for him at the end. I thought for sure Tony was gonna find him doing that...

Good episode. R.I.P. Ralphie
