Plot summary
Four months after the events of the first season, Pussy returns, claiming he was getting his back treated, although Tony remains suspicious. He has Junior's successor Philly Parisi killed for talking about Tony trying to kill Livia. Janice comes to town to take care of Livia, but Tony gets angry when he realizes she may be trying to profit off of his selling their mother's house. He calls Melfi to tell her she can come out of hiding, and tries to continue seeing her when he has a panic attack while driving. Enraged that his putting her in danger led to one of her patients committing suicide, she rejects him.
