Love is in the air with this episode of the popular cable crime drama, written by co-star Michael Imperioli. Meadow Soprano (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), the daughter of New Jersey mob boss Tony (James Gandolfini), is now seriously dating Jackie Aprile Jr. (Jason Cerbone), a wiseguy wannabe who's skipping his premed college classes to set up his own crew. When Tony gets a hint of Jackie's true nature, he's furious; but he's no angel himself as his affair with Mercedes Benz sales rep Gloria Trillo (Annabella Sciorra) is heating up, a visit to the Bronx Zoo turning into a torrid encounter in the snake house. Things are further complicated at home when Tony's son, Anthony Jr. (Robert Iler), is caught vandalizing school property, but his status as a new football star earns him undeserved leniency. Tony and his wife Carmela (Edie Falco) aren't inclined to take it so easy on their errant son, but no punishment seems to have much effect; Tony's no more able to get through to his own son than he is Jackie.
