She explicitly tells the female agent that she wouldn't sleep with Tony for a hidden agenda, and she tells Tony that it's nice to have him, considering what her father was like. Tony also mentions to Dr. Melfi that he is a father figure to her, especially after her father ran away. The episode couldn't be clearer on why she is drawn to him.

Disturbed by how close he came to cuckolding his own nephew, Tony resumes therapy with Melfi. He discusses his sexual attraction to Adriana and briefly fantasizes about "starting over" with her, but admits that this would be disastrous for his family. Melfi believes Tony is making progress by resisting the urge to sleep with Adriana. Meanwhile, Adriana brings up the topic with Agent Sanseverino, who encourages her to get closer to Tony for more information, but [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim makes fun of Adriana's attraction to Tony]] with her fellow FBI agents. That night, Tony returns to the Crazy Horse, and after it closes he and Adriana decide to visit her drug dealer in Dover to score some coke. Adriana is caught off-guard when Tony asks about her friend "Danielle", who was actually an undercover FBI agent, and she makes up an unrealistic story about how Danielle drowned at a picnic. Moments later, a raccoon runs into the road, and Tony swerves to avoid it, totaling his car. He and Adriana are both hospitalized with minor injuries. Tony visits Adriana and tells her they will have to prepare for the story of the car crash spreading, and how bad it will look.

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The various FBI agents express extreme disbelief that Adriana (whom at least the male agents classify as a "10") could possibly be attracted to the portly, balding Tony, whom one likens to Barney Rubble from WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones.

Changed line(s) 8,9 (click to see context) from:
Disturbed by how close he came to cuckolding his own nephew, Tony resumes therapy with Melfi. He discusses his sexual attraction to Adriana and briefly fantasizes about "starting over" with her, but admits that this would be disastrous for his family. Melfi believes Tony is making progress by resisting the urge to sleep with Adriana. Meanwhile, Adriana brings up the topic with Agent Sanseverino, who encourages her to get closer to Tony for more information, but makes fun of Adriana's attraction to Tony with her fellow FBI agents. That night, Tony returns to the Crazy Horse, and after it closes he and Adriana decide to visit her drug dealer in Dover to score some coke. Adriana is caught off-guard when Tony asks about her friend "Danielle", who was actually an undercover FBI agent, and she makes up an unrealistic story about how Danielle drowned at a picnic. Moments later, a raccoon runs into the road, and Tony swerves to avoid it, totaling his car. He and Adriana are both hospitalized with minor injuries. Tony visits Adriana and tells her they will have to prepare for the story of the car crash spreading, and how bad it will look.

* TooDumbToLive: When Chris is on his knees and on the verge of getting shot, Paulie intervenes for Chris by saying that as Chris emptied his pistol into Tony's empty car before entering the Bing to confront him, he likely didn't intend to do fatal harm to Tony. But the agitated Chris completely misunderstands Paulie's intent and verbally attacks him.

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Tony finds that being ethical and not cheating with Adriana certainly didn't make his life easier. It's implied that he has stepped out of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor constructed for him by Dr. Melfi in a certain way. "You know what? I may as well have fucked her. [[SarcasmMode Thanks]]."
