For Tuesday slop night the visual cuisine is the last episode of Mlaatr season 1 and the first 2 episodes of Sopranos season 2, a show about the Italian mob in New Jersey. Season 1 ended with Tony's mother instigating an assassination attempt on her own son with the help of Uncle Junior. This was the result of Livia learning about Tony seeing a therapist, seeing her son in a severely depressed state, and Tony mocking Junior for performing oral sex on a woman.

We delved into Tony's childhood and psyche thanks to multiple sessions with Dr Melfi: Tony has a fascination with ducks that landed in his pool that probably represent his family and his fear of losing them due to his life in organized crime; Tony had a very poor childhood with abusive and neglectful parents - while he ends up essentially being forced to admit his mother is horrible at the end of season 1, he is much more hesitant to view his father in a similar light despite admitting that his father's favorite "child developmental tool" was the belt.

Both of Tony's children are now aware of his life in organized crime to an extent, with Meadow directly asking him on a road trip and AJ coming to a realization after a kid in a schoolyard fight backs down due to his father's line of work in waste management (with some help from his older sister, too). Carmella had multiple moments of disgust with Tony due to his constant cheating and just general poor behavior.
