Pissing in the wind
28 July 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A comic episode. The FBI decides to bug "the sausage factory," otherwise known as the Soprano homestead. This proves difficult, with people coming in and out at all times of the day and night. Tony meanwhile must deal with Patsy, who knows Tony killed Patsy's brother. Soon enough, Patsy is standing in Tony's backyard, with a pistol aimed squarely at Tony's head, who is inside and highly visible through a window. The FBI boys are just yards away, in a panic over what to do. The episode with Artie pointing a rifle at Tony was dark and serious, while this episode is played strictly for laughs (although there is that one moment when you're not sure what's going to happen with Patsy). It's a Keystone Kops delight. To add to the merriment, Carm takes Adriana with her to tennis lessons, only to find her hunky instructor is leaving and a female instructor with eyes only for Adriana is taking over. Plus Tony's water heater blows up. Can't this guy ever catch a break?
