The Sopranos, The Army Of One

While the Soprano family goes about their day-to-day activities, the FBI begins an elaborate operation to bug their home. Tony ponders his options when Patsy asks too many questions about his brother's death.

Tony's concerns that his mother will rat him out to the feds expire when she does. Later, Janice arrives to arrange the funeral, which takes a bizarre turn.

Christopher finds that being a 'made' man isn't all it's cracked up to be. Meanwhile, Janice moves into her mother's house, where she soon gets a leg up on Livia's former housekeeper.

Dr Melfi's attempts to steer Tony into behaviour-modification therapy detour when a personal crisis arises. Meanwhile, Ralph Cifaretto finds a way to endear himself to Jackie Jr., not Tony.

Bobby 'Bacala' Baccilieri Sr. comes out of retirement to deal with a young hothead named Mustang Sally--much to the chagrin of his son and Uncle Junior.

Ralph's volatile relationship with a stripper and obsession with the movie 'Gladiator' combine to put a damper on several boys'-nights-out at the club. Meanwhile, at Columbia, Meadow's relationship with Noah is tested.

Tony convinces Uncle Junior to seek a second opinion for his cancer treatment. Meanwhile, Carmela debates whether or not to take Dr Melfi's advice to see a shrink.

As Thanksgiving approaches, Tony's feud with Ralph escalates, despite the intervention of Johnny Sack. At a frat-house mixer, Meadow and Jackie Jr. have more in common than mob-boss dads.

Tony gives Carmela a sapphire ring for her birthday, and Christopher gives Adriana her music club. Anthony Jr. gets busted for vandalizing the school swimming pool but finds the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

A visit with the ghosts of Christmas past lands Tony back on Melfi's couch. With the annual pork-store holiday party approaching, Bacala reluctantly agrees to don the Santa suit that Pussy used to wear.

Paulie and Christopher are engulfed in a nightmarish journey into the woods, trying to collect a debt from a Russian mobster, and Meadow suspects that Jackie Jr. is two-timing her.

Inspired by a tale, Jackie Jr. decides to 'make his move' in organised crime by instigating a robbery. Tony finds spending time with his lover Gloria harder because of the parallels between his relationship with her and his mother.

Yet another academic misstep by A.J. forces his parents to contemplate military school. Tony orders Ralph to deal personally with the Jackie Jr. situation and later seems to take Ralph's side in a money dispute with Paulie.
