“Sopranos” Spoiler 2

Tony visits Janice. They chatter about family.

The Fed gives Tony some info about where Phil might be. He’s having an angry, dysfunctional affair with a colleague.

While listening to Bob Dylan’s “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and making out with his new girlfriend in his SUV, the car catches fire and explodes. Close, but no cigar on the body-count thing.

Tony, naturally, is livid. Meadow, thinking Tony’s being too hard on AJ, calls Tony “Mr. Fat Mouth” and leaves. (Meadow seems to serve only to walk out of scenes this episode.) AJ says, “We have to break our dependence on foreign oil.”

A meeting is convened. An uneasy peace is being brokered, dammit. Phil’s thug: “We agree: It’s gone too far. Phil’s gone too far. We promise we’ll back off.” He hints that perhaps they wouldn’t be broken up if Phil got whacked.

Paulie Walnuts doesn’t like cats.

Janice visits Uncle Junior, who’s mad as a hatter. “Bobby’s dead,” Janice tells him; “Ambassador Hotel,” Uncle Junior replies, Kennedy’s assassination being old news.

AJ’s with a therapist. “I feel, like, cleansed or something,” he says of losing his SUV.

30 minutes in: No body count. Paulie’s alone at the Bada Bing, so that may be ominous.
