Another fantastic Eighties song cue. They use them sparingly but just about always perfectly.

BTW : Who knew the secret to being able to live a duplicitous double life was rubbing your fingers together like you're playing the world's tiniest violin?

I figured it had more to do with focusing on something cerebral so you don't get carried away emotionally.

That's funny.

It was good to see Martha again. I wonder if it was just a cameo, or if she will be somehow involved. They spend more than 3 seconds on her, so I'm not sure.

I was asking basically the same question about Alison Wright's role in Feud : Betty and Joan - - another role that she is playing on TV right now that seems to have no lines.

Martha's back and Henry's still missing. It's almost a show within a show.

Really interested to see the dynamic when Philip meets his eldest son Mischa. Hoping it happens before the end of the season.

And yes, like everyone else I thought it was cool seeing Martha.

For any The Soprano's fans, the blonde that Oleg was talking to in the Supermarket was Svetlana, the one legged Russian girl who was friends with Tony.
