| ― Pussy asking Tony about Mr. Miller's stolen Saturn |
Arnaz is threatened by Pussy at gunpoint.
A.J. mentions during breakfast that Mr. Miller got his car stolen from the school's parking lot, and Carmela, sympathetic to him, asks Tony if he can recover it with the help of Pussy through his body shop. Considering A.J.'s poor grades in science, Tony agrees and gives Pussy the Saturn's license plate number. After asking around, Pussy's employee Joe tells him that a shop on Watchung Avenue in Montclair received a car matching the plate and that he got a description of the thief, a tall man with black hair and an earring working at a Seattle & Tacoma Roasters coffee shop. With a lead on the case, Pussy and Paulie venture out to find him, going around different shops from that same chain until receiving Arnaz and his boyfriend Jerome's apartment address from one of them. When going there, Paulie knocks at the door and makes unintelligible sounds when asked who he is so Arnaz will peak through; Pussy then asks him if he has seen a school teacher's Saturn recently, to which he tries to close the door, but the mobster kicks it open, hitting Arnaz in the face. The mobster duo pull out their silenced pistols and Pussy, grabbing Arnaz by the back of the head, asks him if anyone else is with him, when Jerome suddenly appears, surprised at their current predicament. Pussy then pushes Arnaz onto a couch and tells him why they came there, but Arnaz counters that they won't talk except in the presence of a lawyer, to which Pussy sarcastically tells him that he's got "Johnnie Cochran" there for him as he sticks his gun in Arnaz's mouth. Pussy and Paulie then take the couple to Bunuel Bros Body Shop to find that the Saturn has been chopped, so they devise a plan to have one of the thiefs climb over the shop's fence, take the car's license plate, then steal a different Saturn off the street and stick the plate onto it. The robbers reluctantly do so and Mr. Miller's new Saturn is returned at school the next morning.[1]
