From THE SOPRANOS Christopher:
Tony's crew is preoccupied with charges being leveled against another Italian: Christopher Columbus. Columbus Day is only days away and the New Jersey Council of Indian Affairs is planning to disrupt the annual parade. Bobby Bacala's wife, Karen, is killed in a car accident. Rosalie Aprile is hit especially hard by Karen's death. Ralph's popularity is taking a lot of hits lately. Johnny Sack is openly hostile towards him. Tony's guys try everything they can think of to rescue Columbus from the red man's revenge. Ralph threatens to expose Iron Eyes Cody as an actor of Sicilian ancestry, but that turns out to be unfounded. Tony tries to get Councilman Zellman to intervene, but he begs off. Chief Doug Smith, CEO of a Mohonk casino, tells Tony he'll stop the protest, but he also fails. Ultimately, both the parade and the protest take place.
