The Sopranos

A disparaging comment about his wife's weight leaves Johnny livid and sets him on a personal vendetta, determined to exact retribution. Meanwhile, Meadow is considering volunteering at the South Bronx Law Centre, weighing the prospect of community work and the impact it could have on her career.

The Weight is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the broader genre of episodic drama, offering a self‑contained story that unfolds over its runtime. The narrative kicks off when a scornful comment about his wife’s weight lands on Johnny’s ears. The insult ignites a fierce anger in him, prompting a personal vendetta that drives his actions throughout the episode. At the same time, Meadow finds herself contemplating a different path. She is considering offering her time as a volunteer at the South Bronx Law Centre, weighing the prospect of getting involved in community work. These two threads run side by side, contrasting Johnny’s revenge‑focused determination with Meadow’s more charitable intentions. The episode therefore explores how a single remark can set one character on a hostile course while another looks toward helping others, highlighting the divergent ways the characters respond to the events that surround them.
