Goofs
When Adriana is being interviewed by the FBI, the dispersement of the vomit on the table changes between shots.

I was trying to say something positive because she's your friend

Meadow's relationship with her parents is strained and Christopher is promoted.

This is a very strong episode with excellent character interaction.

The Sopranos portrays family dynamics brilliantly and the scenes of conflict between Meadow and Tony and Carmela are plausibly written with great allusions to Tony's criminality and Carmela's complicity. It follows the season 3 finale with great continuity. Jamie-Lynn Sigler gives one of her best performances as she lives and breathes what the character is going through. Her facial expressions are priceless as always. James Gandolfini and Edie Falco are fantastic as ever.

Christopher and Adriana have great scenes with some strong humour and also foreboding about what lies ahead for Adriana. These include some wonderfully awkward moments with Christopher blundering through various situations. Michael Imperioli and Drea de Matteo are both excellent.

Certain aspects of the plot move along quietly and intriguingly, particularly relating to characters that Tony deals with in his professional life. It's the random moments that become important as ever, with a certain joke in this episode starting an arc that spirals as the season goes on.

The scene involving a newly introduced therapist is ironically funny in the context of the episode's plot, but the portrayal of specific advice given to a patient does feel quite implausible.
