Psychiatry pays for itself

Tony is sitting on his bed like a sack of potatoes with scoliosis. Carmela comes in with a sleeping pill for him. Tony wants to know what kind of person he must be if his own mother puts a hit out on him. Carmela puts her arm around him and sits down on the bed with him. She tries to assure him that it isn't him, it's his mother. She's a peculiar duck and always has been. Wow, Carmela is good. I would have called her a wack bitch. But Carmela obviously has years more experience dealing with Italian boys and their mothers, 'cause she's reallygood. Carmela points out that both his sisters left Jersey so young that there could have been contracts on them. Tony nods mutely, and Carmela continues that he tried, he was different, he wanted it to work. Tony moans about the nine millimeters that were pulled on him and then opines that his self-esteem is nonexistent. Carmela wants to kill Livia, but Tony points out that she must act the part of the concerned daughter-in-law. You know, for the sake of the business. Carmela and I say in unison, "Fuck the business." Carmela then bets that the Alzheimer's is all just an act so Livia can't be called out. Tony doesn't answer, saying that he and Junior always had problems with the business, but they always worked things out. If only he hadn't called him out about eating pussy. I mean pussy, not Pussy. Unless there's something about Pussy's disappearance that we don't know. Maybe Junior got all Jeffrey Dahmer on his ass. Tony jumps up on the bed, shakes his fist in the air, and yells, "Psychiatry and cunnilingus brought us to this! I'll have my revenge on my uncle and on Mikey P. But inside, I'll know. I'll know."

Little Stevie and his hair are helping Tony avenge the hit. Tony is carrying a really large fish when he "accidentally" and "unexpectedly" runs into Chucky Signore at the marina. Tony pulls a gun out of the fish and shoots Chucky in the head. Hey, Tony, wouldn't a backpack make a better tote than a large semi-tropical fish? Just wondering. Little Stevie, his hair, and Tony hop into Chucky's boat to get rid of the evidence.

Tony stops off at Dr. Melfi's office to try to talk. The second Melfi sees him, she runs back into her office and locks the door. Tony apologizes for yelling at her before; he swears he won't touch her, he just really needs to talk. She won't unlock the door and picks up the phone and dials 911. He says that if she won't talk to him there, they can go to a coffee shop where there will be a lot of people around. He just really needs to talk to her. She asks if she has his word that he will not lay a finger on her. He swears, and she hangs up the phone. After she had the emergency operator on the phone. Doesn't she know that if you dial 911 and then hang up without saying anything, that the 911 operator is instructed to immediately call back, and if they don't get an answer they're required to send an officer out? Just FYI. Anyway, Tony tells Dr. Melfi about his week. Dr. Melfi takes no joy in the fact that she was correct about his mother. Isn't that nice of her? She asks if he's been having any dreams lately. He has. He's been having sex dreams about Stupid Neighbor's wife. He's telling her about it, but then stops himself because he remembers that Dr. Melfi is a friend of the Stupid Neighbors. Besides, they don't have time to talk about it; Tony's here to warn her that the reason there's a contract out on him is because he's been seeing a psychiatrist. Her. She's taken off guard by that revelation and jumps to her feet to swear that she could never testify against him because of doctor-patient privilege. He points out that the mob most likely doesn't really care, and that she needs to get out of town. She says it's impossible; she can't leave her patients. She says she's going to the cops to protect her. Tony points out that the cops won't be able to do anything for her because she doesn't have anything that can help them. He tells her she has no choice but to get out of town. He gets up to leave, but stops to thank her for being a good doctor to him. He walks out, leaving Dr. Melfi looking lost and confused.
