Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe moment when Vito breaks the chair in Adriana's office was accidental, but the cast and crew found it so funny they decided to keep it in the episode.
- GoofsWhen Uncle Junior turns off the TV, the reflection on the TV should have been him sitting on the couch with no windows behind him. Instead, the couch was empty with a window on both sides of the couch.
IRAAG: The television is reflecting a different wall of the room. This can be most clearly seen by the golden wall-hanging above the seat in the reflection where this hanging is not above the couch that Junior is sitting on.
- Quotes
Ralph Cifaretto: [to Pie-o-My's trainer] And tell that midget not to be shy with the whip.
Hesh: [about Ralph] If only his mother had taken that advice.

Featured review
The one with the freaking horse
Remember how Seinfeld is often described as "the show about nothing", with episodes revolving around frozen yogurt, ponies or parking spaces? Well, Pie-o-My could be considered an almost Seinfeldian moment in the history of The Sopranos, since a large part of the story is centered around... a horse.
The animal in question, which gives the episode its title, is a race horse Ralph has bought on Hesh's suggestion to make some extra money. Tony is introduced to the creature one day and unexpectedly finds himself attached to Pie-o-My, whereas Ralphie coldly resorts to violence to make her run faster. On the home front, Carmela's worries for the future increase, leading her to ask Tony to sign a life insurance policy.
At first sight, one could classify this episode as irrelevant, and you couldn't blame anyone for doing so: nothing substantial happens, apart from Ralph and Tony's differences emerging clearer and clearer as the story progresses. With hindsight, though, Pie-o-My is as superb as other episodes because it sets the suspense for the second half of the season, which will see some characters hit new lows in their life.
Plus, a horse: reminds of the Godfather, doesn't it?
