A witness emerges who connects Tony to Matt's shooting.
This is a strong episode with great character moments for Tony and Carmela.
A big Sword of Damocles hangs over Tony, driving the plot, whilst numerous scenes depict his selfish nature and it's impact on others. All Tony's scenes are very well written and James Gandolfini is on top form.
Carmela has a lot of focus, particularly in her exchanges with Tony and a guest character who embodies many of the qualities Tony does not have. This is also well written and Edie Falco gives another fantastically realistic performance.
Robert Patrick is brilliant yet again as Dave Scatino and this character shows how weakness is punished by the predatory instincts of people like Tony, plus the impact it has on innocent family members.
Other great scenes are scattered throughout the episode with characters like AJ, Janice, Richie, Big Puss, Dr Melfi, Uncle Junior, and Meadow all giving strong contributions. One line by Uncle Junior is a great foreshadowing to what comes later in the season.
For all it's dark cynicism, there is plenty of the usual dark humour and entertainment value with so many of the characters and dialogue. I think without this aspect the show would be a seriously depressing commentary on life.
