TV Series: The Sopranos Season 2 (Part 4)

In my review of the first part of season two I said that new people were returning to New Jersey. Now they're leaving as soon as they arrived, one way or another.

Richie Aprile and Janice Soprano are a match made in Heaven.

Boy meets girl.

Boy and girl get engaged.

Boy hits girl.

Girl shoots boy.

All I can say is that Richie deserved it. No man should ever hit a woman. Richie isn't even buried. Christopher and Furio cut up his bones in Satriale's meat market, then burn his remains in the oven.

Salvatore "Pussy" Bompensiero returned to New Jersey when he was sure that Tony didn't suspect him of being a rat. It's true, Tony trusted him for a while, but when he found evidence that Pussy was wearing a wire, it was time for him to die.

Tony shoots Pussy, flanked by Paulie and Silvio. It's appropriate that they shoot him together, because he was the friend of all of them.

Janice looked stunning in her wedding dress, but now that the wedding's off there's no reason to stay. She gets on a bus back to Seattle.

As reviewers correctly state, "The Sopranos" is all about family. Here we see Tony Soprano posing with his primary family, AJ, Meadow and Carmela.

Here we see Tony with his secondary family, Christopher, Paulie, Silvio and Furio. Hesh is also present, just visible behind Silvio. Did I put the families in the right order? Which is primary and which is secondary?

And the other recurring theme in the series, almost every episode, is Tony sitting with the psychiatrist, revealing his innermost secrets while she slyly flashes her legs at him.

That's my brief summary of the last three episodes of season two. I'll continue next month.
