She knows a lot better than owing a favor to a guy like Tony.

>>217002841
because she loved it

How about I thread my foot in your ass tough guy? Just shut the fuck up. This is your final warning.

Was it pottery ?

>>217002841
Revenge breeds revenge.

>>217002841
Because she liked it. She squirted so hard on those stairs they had to put a permanent wet floor sign up.

>>217004299
it's true i was there

>>217003410
Sopranos threads are as good as /tv/ gets little zoomie

>>217002841
I don't give a fuck about her moral highground, but the rapist is free to rape again so she's basically setting up another woman to go through what she went through, that's a real cunt move.

>>217002841
It's pretty obvious desu

Because she was an East Coast liberal intellectual bitch who thought she was better than everyone because she was overly educated.

>>217002841
he was employee of the month and she didn't want to ruin that for him

Tony was very petty, he would have held it against her.

>>217002841
She subconsciously loved it.

>>217004506
now you understand the true nature of the human female

>>217002841
she'd owe him a favor

>>217004506
Would Tony ever abandon his life of crime if he thought it had socially positive qualities? Obviously he didn't, but as her therapist, that was her goal

>>217002841
Tony could've used it as leverage against her forever, it would fundamentally destroy any ethical foundation and boundary of her livelihood, and it would debase her own moral framework. It's not a gay little "revenge bad" story at all.

>>217002841
It would have better if they saved the rape towards the end of the series. She asks Tony for help. Then once he kills him, she says she can't be his therapist anymore. That would have been a better ending.

>>217005363
The fuck is she going to do for him? I don't think he was stupid enough to try to extort his therapist.

>>217005451
The vince chase cope

>>217005557
You think too highly of him

>>217005539
This would’ve been way out of character for her

probably because she knows tony would immediately throw it in her face as soon as she broached a topic that made him uncomfortable in future sessions

>>217002841
Based Chase trying to blue ball the audience.

>tell Tony
She's suddenly complicit in a murder and owes him a favour.

>report it to the police
Rapist goes to jail and the street is safer for women.

She should have done the latter but sexual assault is a very difficult thing to report, a difficult thing for men to understand.

>>217005887
As opposed to slamming the door in Tony's face after reading a page in a book about criminals being enabled by therapists? The ending she got was silly and out of character.

>>217006035
She reported him and they mishandled the evidence and set him free.

>>217006063
The ending sucked ass, even Lorraine Bracco didn't like it, but her getting Tony to murder the rapist is not an improvement.

She actually does want to help Tony, and if she told Tony then she’d basically be putting her psychologist’s stamp of approval in Tony’s mind that everything up to and including murder is justifiable under the right set of circumstances, which would have then given Tony psychological carte blanche to do whatever he feels like and feel no remorse over it because he can always twist the rationale in his head to justify his own actions.

>>217002841
>from

>>217005557
He'd basically just bring it up whenever she ventures into criticizing his life of crime to guilt her into giving him her approval. Also she'd never be able to drop him as a patient because of it.

>>217006744
>ill never hear the end of this
>oh well, guess ill just get raped then

>>217004506
Not
Her
Problem

>>217002841
Because it crosses a line that she couldn't come back from. It's like those Jews that hire them to chase off an abusive son in law and then they want a cut of their business in perpetuity.

>>217006824
That was a relatively fair deal because they were getting him out of having to give a bigger cut to the son in law.

>>217005451
>It's not a gay little "revenge bad" story at all.
it literally is, and as volatile as tony is i still strongly doubt he'd ever leverage something like rape revenge against the victim. he'd be satisfied enough with the clean pleasure of playing the avenging hero
on its own i found her decision impressive and poignant but she should've been written out since her story is basically complete. they had her insipidly stick around enabling him and now i find this rape subplot kind of pointless and propane on rewatches

thinking for 2 seconds should tell you it would be a very bad idea to involve tony in any way. i understand the desire for revenge, but she would be in a world of shit.

>>217002841
Aside from sticking to her principles, it would put her in debt to a literal mob boss, he would hold that over her forever.
Her situation was terrible but she made the smart choice.

>>217005557
Tony is really dumb and petty, people only like him because he's surrounded by even shittier people and was played by a phenomenal actor.

>>217005557
>I don't think he was stupid enough
wtf are you talking about, half of the series was about Tony himself making terrible decisions that come back to bite him in the ass

Leverage shmeverage ethical boundary shemethical shmoundary

>>217002841
A. she was a whooa

>>217002841
Because she doesn't know what Tony would ask for in return. She could be embedded into future crimes, he could also blackmail her into fucking him. All she knows is that morally, Tony is only capable of evil.

>>217005564
>vince chase
AWWWW YEAAAHHHHHHH

>>217002841
I don't think it's about morality at all, it highlights the idea that ingratiating yourself to someone like Tony is so ill-advised that letting a rapist go unpunished is preferable. I also like to think that it sort of symbolizes Melfi "asking for it" by taking a patient like Tony because she's morbidly fascinated.

>>217006868
>her story is basically complete
God I fucking hate shit like this. "Her arc is finished!" Like when did people become so autistic about how stories are told?

>>217006035
You fucking retard, she did report it.
Stupid fucking tranny moron

>>217006868
>as volatile as tony is i still strongly doubt he'd ever leverage something like rape revenge against the victim
I don't think you understand how petty and meanspirited Tony is.

>>217003116
She's litterally in danger by continuiing to be his now known shrink.
That they didn't pop her after popping tony just because he's a stupid hot head who talks too much and they couldn't take the chance she knew something makes no sense.
