Only The Good Die Young

Overview

At his wife Elena's wake, Bobby's reserved nature is pushed to the brink as his overbearing father, Richie, constantly undermines his authority in front of a younger crew. The atmospheric grief quickly turns into a tension filled nightmare when the ailing Lazarro family boss, Pino, arrives to pay respects alongside his fiercely protective wife, delivering an icy ultimatum to Bobby: hand over Artie’s construction rackets as tribute for Tommy's recent violence, or face an all-out turf war. With an anxious Artie physically unraveling in the bathroom, Bobby cold-bloodedly forces him to keep running Slavko's illicit Balkan freight, assigning his newly inherited, war-hardened enforcer (and slav's great nephew), Gabe Pavlic, to secretly surveil the enemy. The friendly ruse shatters when Aaron's ball busting gets underneath Tommy's skin, causing a scuffle in the laugh track bathroom.
