* Tony's testimonial to his childhood friendship with Tony Blundetto in "Rat Pack" is heartwarming on yet another, more subtle level. Tony S. relates how he complained about having two sisters but no brother as a child, to which his mother Livia says "What's wrong with your cousin Tony?", pointing out that the bond "Tony Uncle Johnny" and "Tony Uncle Al" had was just as strong, if not stronger, than any actual brotherly link. Even Livia, who throughout the series has been depicted as hateful, manipulative, and utterly devoid of empathetic feeling, is still perceptive enough to appreciate the depth and strength of the two Tonys' brotherly love.

* Tony, at least temporarily, ends his therapy sessions with Dr. Melfi in "Calling All Cars". He acknowledges that he really hasn't improved or grown fundamentally as a person in the four years they've been meeting, and that further attempts would be futile. Melfi, for her part, while protesting Tony's denials that the therapy has helped, nevertheless respects Tony's decision and wishes him the best. Tony gives Melfi his heartfelt thanks and gives her a chaste, yet very tender kiss on the cheek. This very amicable and sweet parting of the ways between Tony Soprano and Jennifer Melfi would have been a far more congenial and upbeat ending of their professional relationship than the bitter, acrimonious break we would see in "The Blue Comet".

The conflict Furio felt when given the opportunity to kill Tony and get off scot free, clearing the way for him and Carm to be together, is clear and palpable on his face. As is Carmela's anguish when she hears that Furio has returned to Italy; she looks literally deathly ill.
