Second Opinion, took me a...ahem....second to realize that it also applied to Carmela's private therapist. And man, what a great scene that was, sliced right through Carmela's self-deluding BS. The 50,000 dollars is penance, but ultimately it's only a token gesture, much like her previously hanging out with Sexy Priest. This might end up being my favorite episode of the show so far, everything so understated, but all the threads so brilliantly interwoven and executed. I'm going to have to mull on it for a bit, maybe even re-watch it again before next week.

That male nurse near the end was Tony Hale, right?

Edie Falco won her second Primetime Emmy for her performance as Carmela in this episode. Dr. Krakover gave her a NO BS answer to what she ought to do to move on. She chooses the same answer that rich people have chosen since the Late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance- become a rich Patron to buy "Grace" and repentence via the $50,000 to Columbia University

So Paulie likes sniffing undergarments...Christopher is right to be pissed.

Dr. Krakover who gave Carmela the second psychiatric opinion was played by Irving Sully Boyer, who had roles in Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pacino, The King of Marvin Gardens with Jack Nicholson, the 1980 Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond, Fort Apache, The Bronx with Paul Newman, and Prizzi's Honor again with Nicholson

I agree 100%. Carmela has been rationalizing for so long. Someone telling her the truth of her own culpability was important. I like that she was forced to won it by the end. Terrific episode.

Pseudo-quote: "You don't understand. I'm not charging you a fee because I'm feeling generous, it's because unlike you I won't take Blood Money". BRUTAL.

Carmela and Tony in the driveway, when he complains that he wants the juice with "some pulp", is one of my favorite lines in the show. The most petty, ridiculous thing on top of all his other bullshit... she's so pissed she whips the phone at him. :D
