Uncle Junior is the official boss, but Tony holds the strings. Enter Richie Aprile—fresh out of a ten-year prison bid and vibrating with barely contained violence. Richie doesn’t understand the new world. He beats women, sells coke, and makes jokes about Tony’s weight. Meanwhile, Janice Soprano (Tony’s manipulative sister) arrives to stir the pot, and Big Pussy Bonpensiero begins acting very, very strange.
Carmela’s anxiety about their financial future and Tony’s infidelity leads to a volcanic domestic confrontation.
The marriage dissolves. Carmela knows about the "goomars" (mistresses), but she has ignored it for decades. In season four, she stops ignoring it. The episode "Whitecaps" features a twenty-minute fight between Tony and Carmela that rivals Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Gandolfini and Edie Falco earned every Emmy. Meanwhile, Ralphie kills a horse named Pie-O-My for insurance money, and Tony retaliates by beating Ralph to death in his kitchen. No music. No heroics. Just a fat man with his fists.
Generational trauma, the decline of the American Dream, and the introduction of Tony’s "two families." Highlight:
