The Sopranos: Isabella (1999)
In the search for the caring mother
The music is like a second character in Isabella. It makes you think that you're flying with Tony along the episode. In fact, by the look at his face, Tony's been flying since he saw that beautiful thing in the Cusamano's yard, named Isabella. She's, of course, Italian. And of course, Tony can't resist been attracted to her. He pictures her taking care of a young baby at a rustic home, probably very far from where he is. It takes Dr. Melfi for us to realize that that baby was Tony. He cries and shouts "Fuck" after this revelation.
Meanwhile, Junior is hoping that Tony will be soon put down to sleep, but Christopher's worried about him after seeing him in his bathrobe, unshaved at two o'clock in the afternoon, so he decides to follow him, and by pure chance, he save his life by standing in the way of the two hit men Mikey Palmice hired to do the job Junior wanted. But the next day, with the music at its highest level, they go for Tony, shooting in the middle of the street. But he survives, and there's nothing that would stop Tony from finding out who order the hit.
The Sopranos: Eloise (2002)
Epic
This episode makes way for the following, as the tense relationship between Carmela and Furio comes to an end. The scene where Tony, Furio and Carmela's cousin take the helicopter is magnificent. The loud noise of the helicopter is like a representation of the feelings of Furio toward his boss, when he sees the chance to be next to Carmela, but decides not to take it. When the helicopter flies away, you can see the expression on Furio's face, and that tells you that he has decide to resign to be with the woman she loves.
Then, to Carmela. After hearing of Furio's return to Italy, and seeing her daughter so happily in love with her boyfriend, she is devastated. So she engages in a stupid fight with Meadow over Billy Bud, acting like a child. And this continues when the two of them have tea at the room with the Eloise picture, in a great reference to the pilot episode, when Meadow didn't want to go to the Plaza for her birthday tradition. At the end of the episode, Carmela is growing a fever, probably due to the recent events in her life.
And the conversation between Tony and Johnny Sack about Carmine is fantastic. "Yeah, he's healthy. Thank God". Only a mobster could say that and be thinking of the opposite.
House M.D.: Wilson's Heart (2008)
Wilson's heart
This episode leaves you speechless. Everything in it was great. I would never expected such an excellent piece of work when I started watching the episode.
The character of Wilson has never been so deep like in this finale. His desperation from the beginning to the end...it was such realistic. It makes you cry.
Amber, that character that everyone hated when the season began, now she moves you. Her final minutes with Wilson are terrific.
I think the scene that touch me the most was when Cuddy enters Wilson's office, and tells him to wake Amber up for a last moment with her. "Wake her up to tell her that...", Wilson says, and he breaks down in tears.
And you have never seen House such emotional. But he's not the leading character. Not this time. Wilson and Amber took his place. And they took our hearts.
