SPOILER
I thought episode 7 was fucking awesome.
It was almost inspiring to see Arti sticking up for himself and beating the living fuck out of Ben and also standing up to Tony. I think it's safe to say he's in dangerous territory though. When I saw the first shot of the boat I thought he was going to be whacked for sure! Instantly brought me back to pussy's death.
The ending was also cool. Sort of a 'rebirth' for Arti with him getting out his old family cookbook and getting back the roots of being a chef and running a restaurant.
I wasn't so convinced with the Hollywood plot strand though. For a start, I think it's unrealistic that Chris and little Carmine would both think that they had a chance of getting "godfather meets saw" made with high-profile actors. They're a bit naive about things like that but surely they're not that stupid.
All in all though, it was a fantastic ep. Best of the season so far IMO.
