YMMV / The Sopranos S 3 E 7 Second Opinion

  • Moral Event Horizon: Arguably, Carmela crossed it when she decided to ignore her therapist's advice. The psychiatrist bluntly tells Carmela that she should leave Tony with her children (or what's left of them), and that by living on the wealth coming from her husband's crimes, she is either his accomplice or enabler. This is the first time Carmela has been confronted on her hypocrisy and selfishness, especially since she is entirely concerned about Tony cheating on her instead of his other (far more) heinous actions. With all her other excuses torn to pieces, the only one she has left is that she doesn't want to give up her mob wife lifestyle. So instead of going through with the man's advice, she stays with Tony and further subjects her children to a dangerous situation. Carmela knows that everything the therapist said was true, but chooses to ignore this.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Dr. Krakower, an aged Jewish psycho-therapist that Carmella sees. He's in exactly one scene, but he accurately tears apart her delusions of Tony being "a good man", and offers some of the most memorable lines in the series.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Tony Hale makes a brief appearance as a nurse who helps Junior.
