Spoilers notwithstanding. Stellar episode. All about cowardice. Chrissy (the cold-blooded murderer) dies muttering that he'll never clear the drug test. And of course Tony smothering his beloved nephew for "practical" purposes. Tony bold and honest in his dream sequence with Dr. Melfi, but slick and dishonest in his actual session with her. Anthony standing by while his junior gangster friends brutalize a debtor and racistly brutilize a cyclist. Anthony is consumed by his fear (he has an internal decency). Carmela enabling it all fearing the loss of her lifestyle. Tony traveling to Vegas in order to not have to endure the consequences of death and consequence. And now he "Gets It!" Whatever "it" is.
