        Yes she did moron. It was reported to the cops, the cops arrested a guy who met the description, but then they let him go because they filed the paperwork on his wrong. That was the real issue, she trusted in the system and the system let her rapist go for bullshit bureaucratic reasons. That’s why she toyed with the idea of going to Tony for street justice

    I dont know if youre just being moronic on purpose or not, but she did, and the cops got him, but he got off on a technicality. Her conflict wasnt whether or not to report the rape to the cops, it was whether or not she would tell tony, knowing full well he would kill the rapist and thus being not only complicit in Tony's criminal acts but actively using them to her advantage.
    Personally I find that moronic, there's a time to hold on to your morals and that ISNT when you have the opportunity to kill your rapist after he got away free and clear on some bullshit police incompetence, but that wouldnt be as interesting an episode of TV.

      there is also the angle of telling tony, having the mob hurt/kill the guy, then she owes the mob a huge favor. she probably wouldnt want to be in debt to them for something that made her cum for the first time in years

      One of the best aspects of the show is the way Dr. Melfi absolutely is complicit in many of Tony's criminal acts. Her therapy always seems to give Tony bright ideas on how to be better at doing crime. It's almost slapstick.

          Telling Tony to read Sun-Tzu to become a better crime boss is the first one that springs to mind. Melfi's last appearance is her realizing that therapy has only caused Tony to rationalize his abhorrent behavior and cuts ties with him.

        It's outright slapstick. The Sopranos, especially season 1, is really a black comedy first and foremost. Later on it kind of takes itself more seriously, but the early show is very dry, very funny.

        this episode was dogshit and Melfi's character arc completely flounders after it

        Also true. She started out as a core character to the show. This shrink who helps a mobster mob harder with her therapy, but it goes nowhere when the show turns into pure melodrama later on. Tony's ongoing panic attacks and also his continual humiliation at the hands of his family slowly phase out, and Melfi becomes vestigial while the show outlives its interesting bits.

      The reason why she didn't want her rapist to be killed because deep down she developed feelings of love for her rapist. This is what happens to women after they get raped.

      That's why she's willing to let him go on to rape other women rather than allow him to be killed

      deep down she has feelings of love for him so she doesn't want him to be killed even thouogh she knows that it means that multiple other women will get raped as a result of her decision.

      This is how strong the effect of rape is on a woman's psyche
      Women have evolved psychologically to fall in love with their rapist, to a greater or lesser degree but nearly all develop at least some feelings of love.
      This is very clear from reading women's anonymous testimonies. They don't admit it as often in public due to shame and backlash but the majority of testimonies of women who have been raped who have had their identity hidden speak honestly and express desire and love for their rapist.

      Realistically speaking, this isnt like "seeing if tony can get you a flatscreen" level of absuing your relationship a criminal client for personal gain, this is getting well-deserved revenge on someone who did something horrendous to you and then got away with it.
      From a story telling perspective though, it completely knocks the legs out from under Melfi as being a moral figure in the series, you can no longer treat her as someone who's ostensibly above tony in terms of moral standing.
      What they could have done is just cut the episode a second or two earlier, end it with her just not saying anything at all, or just beginning to speak, and then just NEVER mention it again. It doesnt get brought up later, there's no clues about what happened, we dont even go back to that shop the rapist works at. Let it be completely open to interpretation as to whether or not she told tony.

        This is moronic, it would completely change the dynamic of their relationship. You couldn’t not bring it up again if Tony knew, he certainly would hold it over her

        they did that in the very last scene though

        Because it is the last scene. The ambiguity there is also the point, nothing happens but the audience knows it could, Tony does too, even if he’s not killed that day his life is not going to end well, either prison or assassinated or witness protection. The ambiguity of the ending doesn’t create artificial distance between the audience and the characters, if anything it brings them closer. Hiding whether Melli tells Tony or not just tells the audience it never mattered in the first place, if the rest of the show can proceed as if nothing happened either way.

        >Realistically
        From that perspective, the biggest reason not to tell Tony is simply fear of investigation and prosecution. A murder investigation of Jesus Rossi would immediately have Melfi's ex-husband and likely son investigated as suspects since both have a clear motive and expressed such in front of police/detectives. Any investigation into Melfi herself would probably reveal her connection to a mob boss that is well known for contracting murders.

        Even if Rossi just disappeared, his profile as a rapist might lead to enough questions being asked that a connection might be made later through paperwork and/or one of the many informants leaking information. Even if Melfi was never charged with involvement in a revenge killing, anyone else ever being brought to court over Rossi's death would reveal her involvement and ruin her career.

        The most practical move is not to get yourself or your loved ones mixed up in organized crime murder plot by telling Tony.

          The New Jersey police department is not going to spend money and man hours, using ‘informants’ to track someone down because of their ‘profile as a rapist’.

          • 2 weeks ago
            Anonymous

            The FBI is already spending money and man hours running multiple informants reporting on the New Jersey mob. Any one of them could report that a local was ordered murdered recently and the FBI would check with local PD. Anyone following up on the rapist case would ask Rossi's friends/family and they'd say he just disappeared. It's likely his family/friends might file a missing persons report. That little bit of paperwork generated would be reported to the FBI when they came asking about some local nobody they mob killed. Murder is murder and any investigation into it would be serious enough to reveal the connection to Melfi.

            It's not a stretch at all to think Rossi dying could comeback on Melfi or her family. Her character's definitely smart enough to understand this immediately.

    Hmmm Melfi sickin Tony onto the rapist woulda really changed their relationship on the show. It was better to keep it professional for the sake of the series, Sopranos was never some pulpy high strung melodrama.

    Anyway, police lettin off a rapist on a technicality, with so much evidence against him is a bit of a stretch, even in NA.

    And does Melfi truly want that guy dead? Is she that kind of person?

    my theory was tony put out a hit but instead of killing her he wanted her to get raped. then with her wanting revenge she would turn to tony to deal with him so that she would be dependent on him and tony wouldnt have to worry about melfi trying to send him to a new doctor or snitching on him. of course she ultimately doesnt take the bait so tonys plan fails
