 Adriana is getting put under more pressure by the FBI to collect information about Chris and the rest of the family. One day, she watches a TV show and hears about marital privilege: supposedly husbands and wives can t be forced to testify against their spouses. Eagerly hoping for a way out, she begins pressing Chris to marry her. Her hopes are dashed, however, when the FBI agents actually encourage her to get married, and she learns that marital privilege won t allow her to conceal what she knew before marrying Chris, doesn t apply to anything Chris says in front of anyone else, and most importantly doesn t protect anything Chris says about committing crimes. Meanwhile, at a party to celebrate Paulie s return after a stay in prison, Tony gets involved in a plan with assemblyman Zellman to defraud HUD with a phony housing scam, but then flies into a violent rage when he discovers that Zellman is now seeing Tony s former mistress, Irina.
