(although they couldn't have kids- right?).
Plus, her drug problem and really the FBI problem were Chris' fault. It's like Days of Wine and Roses, but with a quicker ending.

Like most of the subplots, Adrienna's FBI gig was never fully fleshed out. It popped up here and there and never really went anywhere. Then they end it by inserting a murder committed by a character we've never seen before? It was obvious Adrienna was either getting whacked or going to jail, like Pussy. They should have let her get the wire, then get caught with it and get whacked. The sudden "murder" angle was contrived and desperate. Although I do give the writers points for portraying Silvio, Tony and Chris as coldhearted bastards. Tony's call and Silvio's commentary where he tells her "Chris will be just fine" is great. The question it leaves is "Did she know she was being driven to the woods but went anyway because if she couldn't trust Chris, there was no point?"
They don't use Silvio and Paulie nearly enough, and they're the two best characters in the show. Van Zandt's a pretty good actor.
