Biography[]
Chucky comes along with Mikey Palmice to his house bringing a box of microwave ovens they stole from a loading dock at ZIM the earlier night. Mikey's wife JoJo, unenthusiastic about receiving another kitchen appliance, mocks the present. After he puts down the box, Chucky tells Mikey that Junior has decided to have Tony Soprano murdered over seeing a psychiatrist and his other transgressions, and already told them to go look for a hitman. Mikey receives the news with joy, and Chucky walks out of the house remarking it will be a "busy month". JoJo then inquires Mikey as to what Chucky meant, and he tells her about the plot with her assurance that she will keep it to herself. Later, Chucky, Mikey and Junior are all at a funeral, where they go on to discuss the murder plot. Mikey explains he already spoke to his middleman, Donnie Paduana, and Chucky corroborates he enlisted the help of two African-Americans so the murder wouldn't be traced back to any of them. He then asks Mikey for directions to the bathroom.
Their plot goes awry when the attempt on Tony's life gets squandered after Christopher Moltisanti unintentionally blocks the hitmen's view of Tony with his car. Chucky and Mikey decide to meet with Donnie to discuss this. Donnie shows up late and Chucky begins to scold him for this, since he made them lose their time. Mikey gets out of his car to talk and Donnie guarantees tomorrow Tony will be killed, assuring them he already talked to the pair. However, he goes on to make an insensitive comment about Tony's mother Livia Soprano wanting him dead, and Junior (who was hiding from Donnie's view in Mikey's car) asks to get rid of him. Chucky stops Donnie as he was driving off, and Mikey approaches him and shoots him in the head. They all then get out of there.
Unfortunately for them, the second attempt on Tony's life ends up failing as well, with Tony evading one of the attackers (Rasheen Ray) and even managing to get the other one (John Clayborn) killed with nothing more than a slight ear injury Tony is later contacted by the FBI, who show him tape-recorded conversations of his mother and uncle conspiring his demise. Having confirmed who his attackers were, Tony goes to the Bing to talk to his soldiers about the revelation. Paulie Gualtieri and Christopher both agree that Junior will likely attempt to strike again, and that he will use one of his own soldiers this time, not any more hitmen. Silvio Dante argues it will be Chucky, as Mikey is in too high a position now to get his own hands dirty. Tony then says they should get rid of Chucky without "setting off any alarms", and the attack on Junior's group starts.
Tony surprises Chucky as he was on his runabout boat at the marina in Jersey City. Carrying a large fish, Tony pulls a gun out of its mouth and shoots Chucky multiple times, killing him. Silvio, who was on the lookout, brings a chain and some cinder blocks onto the boat, and they sail out on it to dump Chucky's body in the river. Mikey would later ask his wife JoJo to phone him if Chucky called, unaware he had just been murdered.
