Tony is so happy because he didn't hurt anybody

Warning: Spoilers
The soccer plot sucked. Like Sil would even be there, and everybody suddenly cares SO Much about This Thing that will be completely forgotten after this episode. The only good payoff would have been if Tony and the Crew did what they wanted to do to Perv Coach. And then we didn't even get that. The scene where Carm tells Tony about Junior is one of my favorite interactions between them in the whole show. It's just nice to see them laugh and bond over Junior's world class head. That may have been the start of Junior's descent into loneliness and eventual dementia. Tony and Carmella never knew the devastating effects of their little joke. As funny as this sequence was, it really was sad when junior broke up with Bobbi, they loved each other. One of the rare moments Tony and Carmela having fun as a couple. This is actually one of the saddest moments in the series for me. For once, Junior has found a source of genuine happiness and love and it's taken away all over.
