EPISODE RECAP At Mariolina Capuano's funeral, Jimmy Altieri mentions to Uncle Junior how sad Brendan Filone's mother was at his funeral. Once Jimmy leaves, Uncle Junior complains to Mikey about Jimmy's yapping about the Brendan Filone hit. Tony sinks into a severe depressive episode and experiences hallucinations - he sees a beautiful Italian woman named Isabella in his neighbour's (the Cusamano's) garden. Tony sees Isabella several times during the episode and only later learns that she never existed. Dr. Melfi theorises that Isabella was an idealised maternal figure that Tony's subconscious produced because of his deep upset at his own mother's actions at the time. Junior continues in his plan to whack Tony using two hired guns - Rasheen Ray and John Clayborn - contracted through Donnie Paduana. Ray and Clayborn tail Tony and wait for him outside a store - Christopher has also followed Tony and blocks them in so they decide to abandon the hit. Hunior meets with Donnie after the first attempt fails and Donnie makes a joke about Tony and Livia. Junior decides Donnie has a big mouth and orders Mikey to kill him. Chucky calls Donnie back as he is about to leave the meeting and Mikey shoots him through his car window. Rasheen Ray and John Clayborn again trail Tony in his car. They catch up to him as he stops to buy orange juice. They open fire a little too soon - hitting the car but giving Tony warning to dive inside. When Rasheen reaches the door Tony grapples with him and he accidentally shoots John on the other side of the vehicle. Tony manages to start the car and pulls away still holding Rasheen through the window. He drops him once he gets his speed up. The event seems to invigorate Tony. DECEASED
