As a dying wish, Carla's mother, Mama Lozupone, asks her to continue on the family tradition of giving one of her male children the first name of her father and the maiden name of her mother. Carla is plagued by guilt, but refuses to grant the request. When Sam tries to convince her that her mother's wish is not unreasonable, Carla informs Sam that the combination of names turns out to be Benito Mussolini. Unable to tell her mother no, Carla presents the situation to her children to see if one will voluntarily take the name. All refuse at first, but when Gino hears that Mussolini ran the whole country of Italy and has the really cool nickname of II Duce, he volunteers. Carla sets Gino straight on his history and returns to her mother's deathbed just in time. She tells Mama Lozupone that Gino has taken the name. Hearing her words, the old woman sits straight up in bed and exclaims, 'It's about time,' seemingly risen from the dead. watch
