Season 2- Episode 02- Who's Afraid of Baby Janice

In typical fashion of these hour long dramas, the second episode lacked the vivacity and life of the first. Although not as exciting or dynamic, some important story lines are set in motion.

Junior gets out of prison and one of the sweetest characters, Junior’s new right-hand man, Bobby is introduced. Janice and Livia begin to play each other, acting sweet and devoted one minute and the next dreaming of killing each other. In the end, it looks like they’ll have plenty of time to live out the drama, or as Tony said, reenact Who’s Afraid of Baby Janice since they’re going to be moving into the childhood home as soon as Livia is better.

One thing has changed though; Grandma Livia doesn’t seem to quite have the means to control the family anymore. Her desperate call to Carmela is a sign of that; although I’m sure even the littlest of jabs- talking to Meadow and A.J., a few words to Carmela and of course, using Janice will eventually help her with her ‘cause’.
