I noticed a case of foreshadowing at the very start of this episode I hadn't seen before. Chris's drug abuse is spiraling out of control. He's fixing up in front of the TV. On the TV a group of boy scouts are sitting down to eat and are talking about a bear in the area. Chris is hazily watching this. One of the boys says he'll take on the bear etc. and how " someone is going to get something they won't expect". A gorilla ( bear ) appears behind him and smothers him. This, in conjunction with Chris shooting up clearly portends his own death at the hands of Tony ( bear). The brief scene ends with one of the boys throwing a rock and hitting the gorilla ( bear ) in the head.
On another deeper level, at least from MY perspective on things, it is eerily similar to a later, MUCH later scene in which a group of boy scouts sit down to eat and another "bear " gets hit in the head!

"Everything that pertains to that episode was in that episode. And it was in the episode before that and the one before that and seasons before this one and so on".
It does seem that despite the popular notion that nothing happened at Holsten's, Chase really wanted it to mean that it was all there.
Literally.

You know, Vito called me “skip” the other day. Slip of the tongue, no doubt. But I noticed he didn’t correct himself.
