Content warning: This episode contains discussion of a scene from the show depicting physical and sexual assault. We talk about it throughout the episode, so there's not really a good timecode to jump to -- we get it if you need to skip this one.

Will and Atticus attempt to process the dark events of this week's episode. Dr. Melfi is brutally attacked, Janice continues to be trouble for Tony, Tony has a very sweet scene with Christopher, and Johnny Sack moves to Jersey. Also very relatedly, an exhaustive list of the types of articles that are written today is discussed.
