Plot summary

Tony's Prozac begins negatively affecting his sex drive, and he finds himself increasingly attracted to Melfi. He tries to kiss her and has her car repaired, but she rebuffs his advances. At the same time, he convinces Carmela that he feels no attraction to Melfi, and they reconcile. After Junior's tailor's grandson dies while on drugs, Junior has the dealer hunted down and killed, angering a DiMeo capo, as the dealer was his top earner. Junior begins taxing Tony's Jewish mob associate Herman "Hesh" Rabkin at Livia's suggestion without distributing the money to his capos, forcing Tony to negotiate with him. Tony shares his portion of the payment with Hesh. At Junior's celebration dinner, a waiter covertly takes pictures of everyone present with a button camera provided by the FBI. Junior's position on a federal chart of the DiMeo hierarchy is updated to "boss".
