Daniel Palladino wrote this story which is set a month after the death of Tony's Uncle Aldo.  Tony, Angela, Sam, and Billy fly to Italy.  (I don't recall seeing Mona in this episode, and if it's explained why she and Jonathan don't go, it must be in a scene that dropped out of syndication.)  Tony's Aunt Rosa (Antonia Rey again) conveniently now speaks English and she explains things, including why the vineyard workers hated Aldo.  (In a nice touch, the statue of Aldo that they behead looks like Vito Scotti.)  I might've gone with a B but some of the lines are a little weak, and I didn't like the idea of Lucia being "an inheritance."

Anthony Ponzini, who plays Dante, looks much the same as he did eight years earlier on Three's Company as a crook named Tony.
