Jackie Aprile, Jr.

... and Tony going to therapy and all that stuff, the inciting incident that we jump in on in the story...

Because like all good stories, we're dropped in at an inciting incident, and the inciting incident for The Sopranos is the cancer diagnosis of the mob boss, Jackie Aprile.

Mm-hmm.

And the subsequent power struggle that comes from him needing to go, uh, have chemo and then eventually pass away, and then Jackie Aprile Jr. coming into the picture.

Yeah, plus one to all of those things.

Curious about Jackie Jr. as well, who's kind of teed up.

The FBI, what's happening there? Forgot about them.

They've neutralized the—the lamp was neutralized.

It's not Beaujolais.

One of my favorite scenes in the history of television, of course it's from Sopranos, is when Jackie Jr. is dating Meadow, and she's sick, and they're in her dorm, and they're playing Scrabble.

And his words are poo [laughs] and ass.

[laughs] Yeah.

And then we're seeing so much violence towards women.

Jackie Jr. is now interested in her.

Like, I just...

It seems like a recipe for disaster and I'm really, really nervous for our girl.

And then I am once again just so nervous for Meadow.

I just, I want to take her and just go put her somewhere else, like, away from this world.

I don't want Jackie Jr. anywhere near her.

Like, I'm so nervous for her.

What's his name? Uh...

Jackie Jr. tells Christopher, think about dropping out of Rutgers.

What? No Bula? What happened to Bula Bula? I

don't know.

Christopher's always been incredibly volatile, incredibly emotionally impulsive, which I think doesn't bode well for him making enemies and putting targets on his back.

The last episode, immediately, he got underwater and had to take Jackie Jr., like...

And then knowing how much Tony has a soft spot for Christopher, I'm like, oh, no, this is a ripe candidate for the screenwriters.

Just like rip this sweet, sweet boy out of Tony's hands and then have Tony devolve from that.

Cause when he was at the dinner, Ralphie's like, Hey, you know, Meadow Soprano, huh? And then, and the house.

Also very gross.

As a full grown adult, Ralphie sang to Jackie Jr.

How about Meadow? It's like, yeah, I got it.
