"Members Only" is the sixty-sixth episode of the HBO series The Sopranos, and the first of the show's sixth season. Written by Terence Winter and directed by Tim Van Patten, it aired originally on March 12, 2006.

Nearly two years have passed since the end of the previous episode. Two FBI agents drive in a car, and the agent driving states: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public", paraphrasing a line by H. L. Mencken. The other FBI agent, Dwight Harris, is immediately affected by a bout of severe nausea and vomiting, during which an accompaniment soundtrack starts. The music, "Seven Souls" by Material, begins the opening narration, a shortened version of a spoken word essay ("The ancient Egyptians postulated seven souls...") by William S. Burroughs from his novel The Western Lands. The narration is accompanied by snapshots of some of the characters' current lives, and each ancient Egyptian soul is ascribed to a certain character: Vito Spatafore (Ren, the Secret Name) has lost a great deal of weight and has become a spokesperson for Thin Club; Janice Soprano is breast feeding her and Bobby Baccalieri's daughter Domenica Baccalieri; Eugene Pontecorvo and Bobby (Sekem: Energy, Power, Light) - Eugene and his wife become joyous after reading an inheritance letter, while Bobby has taken up model railroading as a hobby; Meadow (Khu, the Guardian Angel) is sexy dancing for her fiancé Finn DeTrolio; Ray Curto (Ba, the heart, often treacherous) is exercising on a treadmill; Anthony Junior (Ka, the Double) is now attending college and snaps a picture of himself resembling his aunt Janice's tattoo; Adriana La Cerva (Khaibit, the Shadow, Memory) is remembered by a worrying Carmela Soprano; and Uncle Junior (Sekhu, the Remains) is being helped by Tony to locate the large amount of money Junior thinks he buried in his backyard 30 years before.
