Thoughts
I was very pleased with this episode. It has a good mix of serious and humorous moments. Tony Sirico does a great job playing it straight which makes his arc in this story that much funnier. I had a hard time feeling sympathy over what happened to Christopher or for those who care about him. That didn't stop me from enjoying the way the episode unfolded and how it is all centered on Christopher's poor condition.
