The Sopranos Recap: Johnny Cakes

We see more of Vito this week, as he gets closer to the chef of those wonderful Johnny Cakes. Unfortunately Vito still doesn’t know how to deal with his homosexuality, and they get in a fight. Until Vito swallows his pride, sort of apologizes, then we see them riding motorcycles through the daisies and… yes, this really is The Sopranos.

Sad, isn’t it?

Meanwhile, AJ likes going to the club and getting high and getting large bills for his friends to drink, or something, and he also decides to go to the looney bin, thinking he’s going to knife Uncle Junior, but it’s AJ. He drops the knife on the floor and gets caught.

Tony is approached by Jamba Juice to sell a building (actually, by their hot real estate representative, played by Juliana Marguiles), but he doesn’t want to sell. Instead, he tries to sleep with her. At last, things getting interesting. He holds out for a higher price, she plays hard-to-get, then finally he sells, she relents, and… nothing.

Either Tony has an attack of his conscience or he doesn’t want her to see his scar, a la Minnie Driver in Return to Me. Neither is a particularly interesting development. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for monogamy in a real relationship, but we’re talking television here. This is The Sopranos. Come on. Where’s the action?
