Season 3 / Episode 7: - Second Opinion

Dr. Krakower: Have you ever read Crime and Punishment? Dostoyevksy? [Carmela shakes her head 'no'] It's not an easy read. It's about guilt and redemption. I think your husband ought to turn himself and read this book in his jail cell and meditate on his crimes every day for seven years, so that he might be redeemed.
Carmela Soprano: I would have to get a lawyer, find an apartment, arrange for child support...
Dr. Krakower: You, you're not listening. I'm not charging you because I won't take blood money, and you can't, either. One thing you can never say is that you haven't been told.
Carmela Soprano: I see.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: In the original airing, Mike Nichols (I) was incorrectly credited as playing Dr. Krakower in this episode, when the role was actually played by Sully Boyar. Nichols was originally set to play the role, but had to back out.
CONT: In the scene where Tony comes home late to Carmela's supper, his plate is shown in at least three different orientations between shots (greens on his right, greens on his left, and greens at an angle).

TRIVIA

The original air-date of this episode was 8 April 2001. Sully Boyar (who played Dr. Krakower, Carmela's would-be therapist) died of a heart attack a few weeks earlier on 23 March 2001.
Director Mike Nichols (I) was originally cast as Dr. Krakower but had to bow out. Sully Boyar plays Krakower but Nichols was still credited in the original broadcast. This was corrected in the DVD and all subsequent repeats.
