Excellent commentary. I don’t have much to add–I think you really nailed it with the 12-day war prediction.

The longer we live, the older we get, the past speaks only clearer. Artie shot the rabbit to protect the garden growing from seeds he smuggled in from Italy and prepared it with an “heirloom” recipe book for two strangers…Sometimes, the strangers are the ones who show us who we truly are. Maybe these two late diners were brought to Artie’s door to help him change his luck by forcing him to change the menu…In a sense, the rabbit could prove to be a major catalyst in Artie’s life…after all, everyone knows that a rabbit’s foot is good luck..Artie just landed 4 all at once.

Christopher never ceases to prove the point that he’s truly a very common thug. He’s as base as they get…Feral I think. And the fact he threw Adriana’s death in Tony’s face as a “You owe me large” is further proof of just how low he will stoop. He’s become such a loose cannon, he’s rapidly becoming a huge liability.

The brief interlude back to Schlomo…I think we’re soon to see a micro-mini version of some sort of 12 Day War considering we have the Muslims on one hand and the Jews on another.

I agree, Kevin Finerty is bouncing around in Tony’s head…probably a good thing for Christopher since he’s got his head buried up his own ass.

Maybe the rabbit and Kevin Finerty are symptomatic of the desire to find the simple life being hinted by all of all the “Baby Boomers” in the group…then maybe again, to paraphrase Freud, sometimes a rabbit is just a rabbit.

Have a good evening Josh…and let’s hope next week’s episode is a little more like the previous ones.
