Artie Bucco commits suicide because he can no longer take that bitch of a wife Charmagne, because he won't get any play whatsoever from Adrianna, and finally because he's getting tired of getting bitchslapped by the Boss Tony Soprano. Charmagne is then forced to run the Vesuvio Restaurant by herself and realizes she can't do it alone. There are times she may breakdown and realize she wore her husband down forcing him to commit suicide. Ironically, Charmagne comes to grips with the fact that she cannot run the restaurant alone and is forced to sell it to properly take care of her kids. No one will buy the restaurant for the price she is asking and is forced to sell it to whom she despises the most, Tony, Paulie, or Christopher. Of course Charmagne and her kids will be taken care of by the organization even though Artie and his family are civilians. Let's keep in mind the Vesuvio was blown up once before due to a staged hit that never happened (compliments of Mr. Silvio Dante). Of course the restaurant, upon becoming property of the New owners, would have to become another base of operations. We need to refer to Season 2 as Christopher was attempting to become a writer. He "accidentally" gave out information about a mob hit that truly happened. The producer of that movie had rewritten the script and Chris got hold of it and became nervous that Hollywood may film and publish that movie. Somehow that movie has to come out and Tony ends up finding out Christopher is to blame for that movie. Tony in a fit of rage is then forced to "deal" with Christopher who recently got his button; a tough decision for Tony. Tony then becomes confused and remembers Big Pussy Buonpensiero and has flashbacks of the incident on the boat at the end of Season 2. Unfortunately since Tony has come under the scope of the Feds, and has to deal with Christopher and his fuck ups he begins to rexperience his anxiety attacks opening up to Dr. Melfi. Tony becomes so upset that he is no longer confident in himself and his ability to run his crew and his home. Tony, being forced to deal with these problems, is also informed of the young female FBI Agent who has befriended Adrianna and takes that as a sign of weakness and stupidity on Christopher but more upon himself for not being in control of his crew. Tony is forced to speak to his crew and confides especially in Paulie Walnuts because Christopher is his responsibility. It then comes out that Christopher is a drug addict and dealer is now a threat to the organization. Tony then makes Paulie, who is a Captain, whack Christopher. A decision that is unanimously agreed upon by Paulie, Silvio and Furio. The setting for the hit: the Vesuvio. The killers: Paulie and Furio (Furio is there to make sure all goes according to plan) either an explosion in order to collect on the insurance, an all out gunshot fight, or a strangling. There must be no evidence however of foul play so it must be thought out carefully The aftermath: Dealing with Carmela (Christopher is her nephew by blood) Meadow, AJ and Carmela's Parents who wonder how he died. Tony falls into a depression that may last an episode and a half. As far as the crew is concerned it's all about the business. We now see opportunity for Furio to get Bumped up and New younger members to come up. To top it off The New York Families are wondering what's going on? Some families are wondering if their New Jersey Soprano Chapter may be falling apart due to all of this confusion. And upon getting that New Jersey Building Property deal (season 3) in which some families of NY are involved, they are worried about the security of their business interest and the capabilities of Tony Soprano and crew. To ultimately end the season, a contract is put out on Tony Soprano. The killer, Paulie Walnuts (refer to the end of season 3) Does the hit happen?

AJ comes home from military school a more adjusted young man of vision. He probably got beat up a few times at school, and realizes he needs to calm down. He is intrigued by what his father does and develops a minor interest in the business. Even though Tony doesn't want his immediate family involved in the life, Tony knows that he can confide in his son. He puts him in the street under the care of Silvio, who teaches him how to shake people down for money that may be owed. Now Tony has an honest watchful and trustworthy eye in the street with his son. Throughout the season we will see how Anthony Jr. progresses as a tough guy and becomes one of Tony's most trusted soldiers along with Furio Giunta. Furio must also go back to Italy and asks Tony to go with him to make sure all is going well with the car operations and is then offered another deal because of his efficiency, possibly drugs. AJ must stay at home to watch over the minor street affairs, loan sharking and gambling. While in Italy, Tony gives in to his female contact abroad. It's a one night stand, but rest assured, both of them know business comes first. And there is really no danger. They should first kiss in Positano, Italy and end up in a very prestigious hotel. they order room service, overlook the water and drink red wine and hang out in style as only the Italians know how.They will be mindful and respectful of each other. Unlike that Mercedes Dealer Psycho bitch or that Russian nutcase. No, this is different. She will provide him with comfort and peace of mind as he will to her. Tony will never leave Carmela and the Italian Babe will never leave Italy. It's a good arrangement and it will not interfere with operations. In the meantime, AJ, is doing well and moving up fast because he's a hustler. The interest in Video Games and movies will quickly fade out. AJ will end up being Tony's right hand man and heir to the Soprano fortune. It's funny, AJ is like his dad, Meadow is like Janice (a flake). Meadow will have bad relationships and friendships through Hunter and will continue to condemn Tony for his actions and way of life. She will never stop taking money from her father and AJ, because she likes the life she lives. She will pick the bones just like Janice. Don't put it past her to start dating one of Tony's young street soldiers or members of another crime family, just to piss her family off. Ultimately, AJ will be the one to straighten Meadow out either by talking to her or giving her a severe beating which may be well deserved. Upon leaving Italy, Tony will say goodbye to his beautiful Neopolitan queen, but not without being with her once again. They travel to Amalfi to enjoy a final meal together and promise each other that attraction will never interfere with their business or their families. Furio in the meantime is forced to clip some low life wiseguy near his home town who may be infiltrating his drug interests. He asks Tony for help on this one as Tony must also prove to the Italian Families that he too has balls. You see, the life Italian wiseguys in italy is very different form that of italian/american wiseguys in america. They have little respect for Tony and his crew and he must prove to them what he is made of even though he is a Boss.

I think The russian goes to that slava guy ( ya know the russian boss, his freind) the russian feelsa sitdown should be made with tony soprano. The bull shits on the table and tony has agreed to allow a hit on his capo paulie outta respect. The hit has nothing to od on tonys part and is failed. Paulie not know tony allowed the hit asks for so protection. Tony says exactly what he said in eps. pine barrens. Its your problem you take the heat. So paulie turns to the ny family guy johnny sacc and gets protection from this " carmine guy". the russian is killed for good and so is tonys old parner Slava. Paulie gets cocky and killed by johnny sacc. Thats my prediction with the russian problem. I dont have an opinon for the rest.

I personnaly would like to see more envolvment with the outer ares of the mob like a philadelphia mob family and possibly a chicago mob family. Maybe a small war between the irish of brooklyn would bring a little more chaos to the show or even with philadelphia. I also think that soemthing should happen to see tony devote more time to his son explaining the way the business is run and him possibly getting a little more involved learning to be a leader at school. Meadow should get raped at school and realize what her family ties are all about when he winds up hanging from her dorm room at school. Carmella has an affair with one of Meadows teachers at scholl while she is visiting.

1.Uncle Junior will stand trial and get off on a technicality.
2.The Russian will return for revenge against Paulie Walnuts. While Paulie is on his rounds, he is set upon by the Russian, and a running gun battle erupts on the streets. The Russian is killed, Paulie is wounded but survives.
3. Johnny Sack and Tony will plan to expand to Atlantic City, take over hotels-&-casinos.
4. Charmaine and Artie reunite.
5. Meadow cuts it off with her Tony because she blames him for Jackie Jr.'s deaath and she turns to hard drugs for relief.
6. Tony and his crew go on a ruthless manhunt for Melfi's rapist after he tries to attack her again and they come to her rescue. The rapist's friends and realtions are not even spared the brunt of Tony's vendetta. He is hunted down, beaten and tortured, and shot. He is later discovered in a garbage compacter, with wood splinters from a baseball bat and .22 caliber slugs in the back of his head.

In the beginning of the third season we see how Tony looks back at his childhood and remembers the incident at Satriale's. The cinematography was great by the way. It would be interesting to see how Tony's father died. Perhaps he was whacked by Junior or one of the rival families. Could it be johnny may have wanted to turn state's evidence, who knows. The fact remains he is dead and we don't know why. Maybe Livia just gave him a heart attack. I would like to see if maybe through one of Junior's dreams, since we play into the mind of these wiseguys, the memory of hitting Johnny comes back to haunt him. MAybe he was hit in Satriale's or he was hit while Junior and Johnny were supposed to do a hit. The possibilities are endless. Somehow Tony must find out and his feelings should be brought into play through his shrink...the question is, do you kill Junior Soprano for revenge or just let him die a miserable cancerous death. Junior is a good guy, but he tried to kill his nephew, and that should also come into play, and he should be dealt with properly.

ok, so jackie jr got whacked....did anyone really care? i dont think we should spend the 4th season wondering if the apriles are gonna get revenge or anything like that, its a waste of time. we begin with the home life. aj is becoming more and more like tony. it stays as harmless pranks, until aj is robbed by a group of black kids. his rage leads him to go to christopher for advice, and chris finds the kids and deals with them. all the kids in school fear him, and aj likes it. he becomes his high schools don, he is the most popular and most feared kid in school. meadow has cut off all ties with her family. she gets very cozy with an african american boy at school, and she ends up pregnant by him. tony and carmella have no idea whats going on. carmella plays concerned wife/mother the whole season. she doesnt have the balls to do anything about tonys womanizing. she decides to see a shrink of her own on a regular basis, a very attractive man. tony has the man followed, and it seems this man has ties to the new york mob. tony goes crazy, and wants carmella to go somewhere else. carmella tells tony she will go elsewhere, but continues to see the man. we do not know if the man is trying to get info for the ny mob, or just being a doctor. this russian thing has gotten out of hand. although the russian doesnt suspect any of tonys crew, paulie is scared because he knows tony doesnt have his back. paulie and chris are at odds. they both have reason to want the other taken out. chris knows about what really happened in the russians house, how paulie started it all. paulie tries to seperate himself from the sopranos, johnny sac gets involved, and tonys is super pissed at paulie, should he take him out? silvio says no, chris says yes, and ralphie really doesnt give a fuk. wait till season 5.

As a huge fan (just like everyone else on this site!) I must give my two cents. The last 2-3 shows were really the finally. We defiantly have to deal with the rat, Paulie is unstable and most likely will get wacked before he can defect to the NY families by that Russian. The Rape of the good Dr. will come out. We have not seen the last of Tony's new squeeze Gloria. Adriana's new "friend" will be big trouble for Christopher ( I imagine he will be asked to wack Adriana before the end of the season, which he will struggle with but ultimately do). Carmela will Never leave Tony. Johnny Sack will get pinched. AJ will become more and more like Tony as he ages. Raphlie will turn out to be Tony's most loyal Capo. Uncle June will just play the patriarchal role as his health and the Fed's will continue to bug him. Tony will Never get WACKED. this TV show is the most popular in the country, HBO is making Millions off of it, they would be very, very stupid to end the life of the main character. Unless you all know something I don't about there only being 4 seasons, HBO will ride this horse for a long time...

1. The Russian comes back to find Paulie. Paulie looks to Tony for help but Tony reminds him that it was his problem to deal with. Paulie goes over to Johnny Sack's crew for help and begins a 'friendly relationship' with them and acts as a spy reporting on Waterfront information.

2. Meadow gets raped at school bringing Tony to a rage and to Melfi's office. The rape about Melfi comes out and is revisited. Tony gets ultimate revenge in the end and the two rapists are found and dealt with, Soprano style. AJ will be involved somehow in the hit because he's so mad about what someone did to his sister and that will be his first mob activity. Meadow will finally shut her yap about the double standards and hating the mafia, etc.

3. Adrianna blabs too much to the FBI girl and Chris has to whack her or be whacked.

4. Uncle Junior will come back to give Tony a mountain of agita. And he'll also want a piece of the Waterfront and it will have to come out of Tony's end.

5. Finally, as the season draws to a close Tony will be shot be a non mafia person (Gloria?) Chaos will rule as they figure out who it was that shot Tony. All the mob families fight for the power struggle. Tony will be in a coma while all of this is going on and he'll be having crazy dreams, maybe even about flipping - The Johnny Sack people, Juniors crew, and Tony's crew will all be fighting for the position of Top Dog. Tony will wake up and say some awesome line like, "I aint goin f**n anywhere" from his hospital bed.

The season will end at Vesuvio but it will be genuine like the end of the first season.

1. Christopher invades Columbia University and has a few people running betting rings on campus. Christophers crew will shake down anyone who owes them money from gambling. No matter what postion they hold in the university, or who they are related too.

2. The russian wacks Paulie. He hunts him down.

3. Meadow starts dating/seeing a professor at Columbia.

4. Carmela has an affair.

5. Ralphie crosses Tony with Johnny Sacks crew and takes with him the Newark project.

Tony has been having doubts about his life and his an attaks. He is also feeling guilty about his relationship with his family(carmella,AJ,and meadow).I think he has been thinking about getting out of "the life". He is driving along in his truck,when in front of him is a man,standing sideways,with blood running down the side of his face.The man turns toward him and it is Jackie Sr.Tony screams,Jesus Christ! He swerves to avoid hitting the man,he turns to look behind him and the man is gone! Shaken by this,Tony goes to a deli,gets a sandwich and goes to a park to eat his lunch,he gets one of his attaks. Once he composes himself,he looks to his left and sees a man on a bench next to his. The man looks familiar,but he cannot see his faceThe man is looking down,holding a paper bag in his hands.Suddenly,the man turns towards Tony,it is David(from the sporting goods store).The man says,you ruined me! He pulls a gun out of the bag and shoots Tony! But there is nobody there! Once again,Tony has an attack. Tony is shaken up and goes to Dr. Mel's office.He walks in and opens the door to her office,her back is turned away from him. He says,Doc? The woman turns and it is Annabella Sciorra.She says,"you bastard!" and lunges at him with a knife! Once again,nobody is there.Tony decides to go home.Carmella says she is going to the market.He says,he will go with her.She is puzzled,but says,o.k. While they are in the market,they are walking by the frozen seafood and Tony looks towards the case,to have a fish talking to him with Big Pussies voice. Tony starts to have another attack and a young stockboy comes over to help him.He says, you o.k. mister? It's the Bakalagua kid(the one they shot at the amusement park).Tony continues to shake and Carmella calls an ambulance. The ambulance attendant is Jimmy.Tony yells,stop dis ting! stop! stop! He jumps out and climbs in Carmell'a car.He says,take me home! She says,you should in a hospital! He shouts,Take me home,now!!! Tony gets home and sits on the couch,panting.He says to Carmella, what's it for? What has it brung me? She says,what? He says, dis ting of ours.I 'm tinking of givin it all up! It cost me my helt',my relationship wit AJ,Meadow, you. The Episode ends here. the Frank Sinatra song plays,It was a very good year. This will give a way for the show to end.Either Tony decides to call it quits or the crew thinks he might "rat" and takes him "out".
