What Season 5 of The Sopranos

Season five opens with Tony and Carmela estranged after their breakup, and the Soprano home becomes a battleground once again. Tony returns to Dr. Melfi's office, though not of his own free will, and searches his childhood for the roots of his panic attacks. In business, the release from prison of his cousin Tony Blundetto and the power-sharing with Johnny Sack in New York strain relations between the families. Adriana keeps feeding information to the FBI, and Janice, with an increasingly explosive temper, becomes another source of trouble for Tony.
