"The Blue Comet" is the eighty-fifth and penultimate episode of the HBO television series The Sopranos. It is the eighth episode of the second half of the show's sixth season and the twentieth episode of the season overall. It was written by series creator and showrunner David Chase and Matthew Weiner and directed by Alan Taylor. It originally aired in the United States on June 3, 2007, two weeks after the preceding episode.
In the episode, a mob war erupts between the Lupertazzi and DiMeo crime families, which leads to the shooting of people close to DiMeo boss Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). In a parallel story, Tony's psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) gains some new insight on Tony and decides to drop him as a patient.
"The Blue Comet" was filmed at Silvercup Studios, New York City and on location in New Jersey and New York in January and February 2007. It was watched by eight million American viewers on its premiere date and received critical praise for its narrative and dramatic resolution of long narratives; many critics have named "The Blue Comet" a highlight of the series. Bracco received an Emmy Award nomination for supporting actress for her performance in the episode and it was also nominated for a Cinema Audio Society Award for sound mixing.
