G-l-o-r-i-a

And now all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Having been smacked in the head with a steak by the totally insane Gloria, who threatens to tell Tony's family about them, he just about strangles the tiny woman and then sends Patsy to have a little chat with her. That little chat is incredibly menacing and frightening. Tony comes to the realization (with help from Dr. Melfi, of course) that Gloria is just his mother all over again. Jackie decides to do something really stupid, which will result in cries for his head.And so it goes. A very unpleasant episode, to say the least. I must say the actress playing Gloria, whom I can never remember by name, gave the performance of her career here. Too bad she didn't always get such meaty roles to work with. I might remember her name then.
