As with the previous episode, No Show keeps handling the joined plot threads of Christopher and Adraian's situation, and does so to shocking effect, providing the show's single most disgusting scene.
Said scene occurs when Ade discovers her friend Danielle is actually an FBI agent and is left with little choice: either she cooperates, or she will go to jail for over two decades for possession and distribution. Without revealing too much, let's just say her reaction is... visceral. Similar feelings, though less extreme in their expression, are kindled among Tony's men when he gives Chris a no-show job that Patsy Parisi (Dan Grimaldi) was after and which Silvio feels is too much to grant to smaller player like Chrissy. However, that is the least of Tony's problems, as he must face the possibility of Meadow dropping out of college because of what happened to Jackie Jr. two episodes ago and has a heated discussion with her when she openly criticizes his job.
That last section of the teleplay gives the boss's private life new dramatic strength, the T/Meadow conflict achieving the kind of poignancy you seldom see in an ordinary TV show. It is also equally unlikely to witness something as gross as Adriana's encounter with the feds, and credit is due to the makers of the episode for making such a scene fit seamlessly with the rest of the story.
Okay, so the drama is strong, but where's the humor? Well, it is connected with the tragic side of the series, or at least it will be in upcoming shows. I mean, you can't really get away with publicly insulting an associate's wife at an official dinner, can you?
