There are two main second opinions in this particular episode: Carmela with Dr Melfi on her relationship with Tony and Junior with Dr Kennedy on his cancer diagnosis. The theme of opinions also plays out throughout the episode. For example, Tony paying $50,000 donation to Meadow's college, which he was only originally willing to pay $5,000. Also, Christopher gets annoyed when Paulie oversteps boundaries.
The pass few episodes, which IMO are 10/10 worthy, contain graphic and controversial scenes, which shows so much more of what the gangster world is like, including themes of capitalism and pride. That's why this episode does not hold up as well. Albeit, EVERY episode of The Sopranos is far superior than 95% of the shows airing today.
The issues with Carmela and Tony's relationship are symbolic in this episode. It is somewhat resolved when she finds it hard to accept she is an accomplice to his crimes, and wouldn't want to give up the life she has built in a divorce.
'I like d'one that says, "some pulp".' Classic line.
