Amour fou is a great episode directed by Timothy van pattern who directed a lot of important sopranos episodes and followed it by boardwalk empire. And what a job he has done, and what an inspiration he gave to anyone who is directing TV right now. This episode shows us two principal patterns.
First the expected fall of the relationship between Tony and Gloria. And what we can deduce from it and keep moving forward is that the woman who has the same character and the same needs as Gloria is his mother. Like Tony described her "she is like a black hole". But of course there is more to that, His psychiatrist told him what makes you attract to danger? And that's a question is yet to be answered. Does he want be in constant danger no matter how?
Well Tony sopranos character is the deepest character in tv. I have never seen a character this complex, so enjoy it while you can.
Second, the side of Jackie. We see him trying to rob an important group of the gang family, But things go wrong and he end shooting a man to death, and a gun fight happens, of course Christopher was there, and of course he didn't die, It would be stupid to sacrifice an important character on Jackie's hands. And then he escaped, So a conflict happens whether they should kill him according to the rules or follow their emotions and keep him alive.
Obviously, Tony knew the guy so he wanted to save him but he wanted to do it in another way. Give his fate in ralphie hands and give him hints on what he wants, So we are assuming that Ralphie love him a little and know his mother so he will spare his life, or not cause he is crazy and unpredictable. We will see in the next episode.
As a result of all of this mess. Christopher said things to Tony he will probably want get back. He said I don't love you anymore. And that did hurt him, but of course he didn't show it, and told him "I need your respect not your love".
To conclude, this is an incredible episode the show plans on making it a stepping stone for the development of all the characters involved especially Tony, Christopher and meadow.
