Tony receives some disturbing news that makes him question the impact he has on others.
This is a very strong reflective episode with memorable character moments.
'Everybody Hurts' is another very good look at the main character. We see an interesting side of his personality as he takes certain actions, usually involving money, in various attempts to feel better about himself and exercise a certain ghost who haunts him throughout the episode.
The writing, filmmaking and performance wonderfully portray the struggles within the soul of a murderous criminal, who knows right from wrong, but ultimately never changes. James Gandolfini gives another powerhouse performance of strength, charisma and vulnerability.
Christopher's scenes contain quite powerful imagery that work well in the context of the affect a person's relationship with Tony and the affect it has on them.
I love the scenes with Artie for the humour and how they eventually connect to the main theme of Tony's crisis. The pathetic way he is portrayed as getting suckered into a certain business adventure and then trying to be a tough guy is brilliantly done. John Ventimiglia gives one of his best performances.
