A very angry Phil has a {{Flashback}} of Tony B murdering Bill Leotardo and very nearly killing Phil as well. He and Johnny Sack have a sit-down with the Jersey family. Tony S denies ever sanctioning a hit on Billy Leotardo and maintains that Tony B is nowhere to be found. The sit-down breaks down when Phil leaves enraged, and Johnny Sack insists that the whole Jersey family will pay if Tony B is not delivered to him.

The FBI agents, Sanseverino, Cubitoso, and Harris pinch Adriana even harder upon seeing surveillance footage of her trying to conceal items, and being able to tie them to the murder of Gilbert Nieves. Nieves had previously tried to shake down Matush in Adriana's office over being sold fake drugs, but Matush and his friend Kamal brutally stab him to death instead. The FBI forces her to either wear a wire with Chris and/or Tony S present. In desperation, Adriana tells them that Chris has been upset with Tony lately, and she persuades them that she can make him turn witness on the mob. They let her go, with a deadline for bringing him in.

* RedemptionRejection: Chris actually does seriously think of joining Adriana in Witness Protection. Unfortunately for Adriana, Chris [[ForWantOfANail seeing a man with his young children]] likely sealed her fate.

* ForWantOfANail: Chris is [[HeelFaceTurn seriously thinking]] of joining Adriana in Witness Protection, fantazising about writing a book. But then [[LawOfInverseFertility he catches sight of a father with his young children at a gas station]]. It's an open question of whether Chris would have actually joined Adriana were it not for that little twist.

* WhamEpisode: One of the biggest DramaBomb episodes in the series. After a season of working with the government, Adriana finally tells Chris that she is an informant. Chris rats her out to Tony and Ade is shot in the woods by Silvio. Chris is in so much pain that he has a heroin relapse, causing Tony to snap and beat him up. Tony learns where Tony B is, but refuses to tell Johnny Sack when he learns that he wants to kill him. Tony and Carmela finally reconcile and get back together.

A very angry Phil having a {{Flashback}} of Tony B murdering Bill Leotardo and very nearly killing Phil as well. He and Johnny Sack have a sit-down with the Jersey family. Tony S denies ever sanctioning a hit on Billy Leotardo and maintains that Tony B is nowhere to be found. The sit-down breaks down when Phil leaves enraged, and Johnny Sack insists that the whole Jersey family will pay if Tony B is not delivered to him.

A distraught Adriana rides with Silvo, who informs her that Chris is going to be okay, as he is a strong kid. As he does so, he -- instead of taking her to the hospital -- drives her out to a remote location in the woods. Adriana realizing far too late what is going to happen, starts panicking and crying, as she pleads for her life to an unsympathetic Silvo who forcibly drags her out of his car. A crying Adriana desperately attempts to crawl away on all fours, as Silvo raises his gun and repeatedly squeezes the trigger.

* ClusterFBomb: Phil unleashes one after the sit down only serves to [[{{Wrath}} anger]] him.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthuhlu: Tony S. telling Johnny Sack, the newly crowned head of the immensely New York mob to "go fuck himself", can be construed as this, as [[TheConsigliere Silvio]] points out in the next episode.

* MirroringFactions: It's hard to see the FBI agents as any better than the mobsters they're investigating. They threaten to throw Adriana to the wolves in ways that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything resonate]] with similar scenes of the Jersey Mobsters making [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse Offers That Can't Be Refused]] or [[ShameIfSomethingHappened implying unfortunate consequences]] should they not get their way. And indeed, forcing their demands on Adriana while not doing a thing to protect her [[NiceJobBreakingItHero leads to her murder]].

* KilledOffscreen: We see Silvio fire his gun at Adriana, but Adriana herself is offscreen as she's trying to crawl away.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Little Carmine decides to give up the position of Boss of the family to [[DragonAscendant Johnny Sack]] once Billy's and Angelo's deaths have become the most recent of several casualties in the EnemyCivilWar.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Tony is willing to admit he's an adulterer, but is just as quick to point out to Carmela that she cheated with Furio in every possible short of [[UnresolvedSexualTension actually sleeping with him]].

* ForWantOfANail: Chris is [[HeelFaceTurn seriously thinking]] of joining Adriana in Witness Protection, fantazising about writing a book. But then [[LawOfInverseFertility he catches sight of a father with his young children at a gas station]]. It's an open question of whether Chris would have actually joined Adriana were it not for that little twist.

* DistractedByTheLuxury:
** Tony S isn't taking his reconciliation with Carmela for granted. The first thing he does upon coming home is gift her with an expensive luxury scarf.
** But then Carmela wants Tony S to invest $600,000 in a new lot and house. The look on Tony's face betrays the realization he's hardly done with shelling out to please Carmela.

A distraught Adriana drives with Silvo, who informs her that Chris is going to be okay, as he is a strong kid. As he does so, he -- instead of taking her to the hospital -- drives her out to a remote location in the woods. Adriana realizing far too late what is going to happen, starts panicking and crying, as she pleads for her life to an unsympathetic Silvo who forcibly drags her out of his car. A crying Adriana desperately attempts to crawl away on all fours, as Silvo raises his gun and repeatedly squeezes the trigger.

Adriana sits down to talk with an already surly Chris and eventually works up the courage to tell him that she has been an informant for the FBI for the past couple of years. Chris explodes in white-hot rage over the news and beats Adriana, before nearly strangling her to death in his anger, only stopping because he breaks down crying. As he sits distraught and paralyzed with fear over how his friends and Tony will react, Adriana tries to convince him that if he agrees to inform on the mob, the FBI will send them both into Witness Protection and the two can start a new life together. Chris struggles with whether to join Witness Protection and leaves the apartment to take a moment to think it over. He sees a family with young children at the gas station, which serves as a painful reminder that Adriana can't have children. It becomes a tipping point for the decision he makes.

The FBI agents, Sanseverino, Cubitoso, and Harris pinch even harder on Adriana after seeing surveillance footage of her trying to conceal items, and being able to tie it to the murder of Gilbert Nieves. Nieves had previously tried to shake down Matush in Adriana's office over being sold fake drugs, but Matush and his friend Kamal brutally stab him to death instead. The FBI forces her to either wear a wire with Chris and/or Tony S present. In desperation, Adriana tells them that Chris has been upset with Tony lately, and she persuades them that she can make him turn witness on the mob. They let her go, with a deadline for bringing him in.

Chris screwed up a cigarette bootlegging operation by not making sure that their Latino partners properly applied tax stamps to them. That means ATF agents are now investigating the operation. Tony S forces Chris to share half the operation, and half its earnings, with Paulie. Chris only becomes angrier as a result and vents his frustrations at Adriana. Chris also feels that Tony S is giving Tony B preferential treatment, even though the latter has drawn the Jersey family into the crosshairs of the New York family by trying to murder the Leotardo brothers (but only killing Billy).

* PreMortemOneLiner: Silvio to Adrianna: "Come on, come on! Fuckin' cunt!"

* DaydreamSurprise: We see Adrianna driving her Ford Thunderbird out of New Jersey with her suitcase, but then a few seconds later we realize that she was daydreaming, and [[spoiler: is back in Silvio's car on the way to her execution.]]

* IllGirl: Adriana starts to really take on shades of this, as the [[MortonsFork stress]] mounts for her and her appearance becomes more haggard and sickly. The episode starts with a doctor's appointment lampshading that she suffers from a stress-induced ulcer.

Sanseverino meets with Cubitoso and Harris about Adriana's disappearance; she insists Adrian could've just fled anywhere; Cubitoso is not convinced. She storms out of the office. Cubitoso tells Harris that since Matush is sending money home to Pakistan, he should pull the counter-terrorism card and take the case from the local police. Meanwhile, Tony S and Carmela go to survey the land on which Carmela plans to build her spec house, which coincidentally looks similar to the area in which Adriana was killed. Tony, lost in thought, sits on a tree stump, with Carmela standing at his side.

Little Carmine has decided that enough bloodshed has resulted from the civil war overtaking the New York family, and decides to cede the position of boss to Johnny Sack. Tony S pleads with Johnny Sack to let him handle Tony B himself. Johnny Sack refuses, insisting that Phil get the opportunity to give Tony B a long and painful death. Tony S leaves after telling Johnny Sack to go fuck himself.

The episode opens with a very angry Phil having a {{Flashback}} of Tony B murdering Bill Leotardo and very nearly killing Phil as well. He and Johnny Sack have a sit-down with the Jersey family. Tony S denies ever sanctioning a hit on Billy Leotardo and maintains that Tony B is nowhere to be found. The sit-down breaks down when Phil leaves enraged, and Johnny Sack insists that the whole Jersey family will pay if Tony B is not delivered to him.

* BrosBeforeHoes: Adrianna reveals to Christopher that she is an informant for the FBI, and pleads to go into Witness Protection with her. At first Chris seems tempted but then chooses to reveal this to Tony and even helps cover up her murder.

* CallBack: [[Recap/TheSopranosS5E3WheresJohnny Johnny Sack]] gives a DisapprovingLook when he notices [[SmallNameBigEgo Chris]] walking in for the sit down, meaning Chris has to remain standing to the side and can't seat himself at the table.

** Tony S isn't taking his reconciliation with Carmela for granted. The first thing he does upon coming home is gift with her with an expensive luxury scarf.

** And the FBI takes over the Nieves murder investigation from local police as part of ''UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror''.

* InternalReveal: After episodes of buildup, the Jersey crew finally discover Adriana's [[TheMole role as an FBI informant.]]

** Chris beating and choking Adriana after she reveals she's been talking to the FBI and the murder at the Crazy Horse.
** Silvio killing Adriana as she begs for her life.
** Tony beating Chris for using drugs.
* LawOfInverseFertility: Adriana had enough grief over it just while she was alive, and it ends up becoming fatal for her. Chris had been [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor struggling]] with whether to join Adriana in Witness Protection. He catches sight of a father with his young children at a gas station. The sight reminds him of his own desire for children, and ends up convincing him to [[UndyingLoyalty side with Tony S]].
* LoveMartyr: Adriana outright dies as a direct consequence of her love for Chris. She loved him so much, that she never considered that if push ever came to shove, he would ultimately chose the [=DiMeo=] Crime Family over her.
* LuredIntoATrap: Tony S calls up Adriana, and [[BlatantLies tells her]] that Chris [[DrivenToSuicide tried to commit suicide]]. Silvio is going to pick her up and drive her to the hospital to see Chris. Silvio does indeed pick her up, but instead takes her to a remote location in the woods and [[KilledOffscreen shoots her to death]].

* MortonsFork: The FBI tighten it even further on Adriana. She either has to face the music of a decades long sentence for obstructing a murder investigation, or wear a wire in the presence of Chris and Tony, something she has gone out of her way to avoid up until now.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The FBI won't protect Adriana and keep her under surveillance unless she wears a wire. That includes an inflexible refusal to protect her at the most crucial moment she needed it, when she's trying to persuade Chris to join WitnessProtection and puts herself at risk. And predictably, it [[KilledOffscreen doesn't end well for her]].

* RevengeBeforeReason: Tony B could have had at least the $200,000 per year casino for the rest of his life, and possibly moved up even further in the Jersey mob. But he threw it all way [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge trying to avenge]] [[BestFriend Angelo]], thereby putting himself in the crosshairs of both the Jersey and the New York mobs.

* SadisticChoice: Johnny Sack forces one on Tony S. Tony S either has to allow Phil to give Tony B a CruelAndUnusualDeath, or face all out war against the [[GreaterScopeVillain New York family]]. Sack won't even allow Tony S to provide Tony B with a MercyKill.

** Adriana has thus far navigated her MortonsFork by giving the FBI information that was relatively innocuous, or giving them solid information on investigatory targets that were not as crucial as, say, Chris or Tony. Agent Cubitoso takes it away from her once the Nieves' murder allows him to tighten the MortonsFork on her even more to try and force her to wear a wire in the presence of Chris and Tony.

* TantrumThrowing: Chris smashes his wine glass on the bathroom wall after Tony cuts him out off half of the cigarette operation. He later goes on a loud drunken rant about Tony in his apartment, much to Adriana's dismay.
