  • Crosses the Line Twice: Christopher's intervention has to be seen to be believed. The line-crossing happens when Adriana starts crying because Christopher, in a heroin haze, sat on her fluffy little dog and killed it. It only gets more unbelievable from there until the gangsters give up on the touchy-feely stuff and start beating the hell out of Christopher.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: During Christopher's drug intervention, he counters Tony's criticism of his addiction by decrying Tony's weight and says that he's gonna die of a heart attack by the time he's 50. James Gandolfini died of a heart attack at 51.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Chris killing Adriana's dog Cosette. It really was an accident, but he refuses to accept any responsibility and shows no signs of remorse over the incident.
  • Never Live It Down: Michael Imperioli himself discussed this, finding it amusing that so many viewers consider Cosette's unfortunate end Christopher's most damning sin. Even before this incident, he'd been depicted as an abuser, an adulterer, a thief, a violent egoist and an unrepentant murderer, to say nothing of what comes after. "Accidentally sat on a sleeping dog while high" is probably the least of the things he'll be paying for when he goes back to that Irish bar.
