"The Knight in White Satin Armor" is the twenty-fifth episode of the HBO original series The Sopranos and the twelfth of the show's second season. It was written by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, directed by Allen Coulter and originally aired on April 2, 2000.
Tony Soprano attempts to break up with Irina Peltsin and insists to her that she deserves better than being his lover. Irina refuses to accept the breakup, saying that she loves Tony and will commit suicide if he leaves her, but he walks out. Tony later receives a call from Irina's cousin, Svetlana Kirilenko, informing him that Irina attempted to kill herself by consuming sleeping pills and vodka. Tony visits her in the hospital and tells her that she needs help. Tony then discusses Irina with Dr. Melfi and asks if she can find her a suitable therapist. In an attempt to cast himself in a more positive light when Carmela accuses him of continued infidelity, Tony confesses the Irina suicide situation to her, but Carmela only gets more enraged. To make amends with Irina, Tony sends Silvio Dante to her house to present her with a parting gift of $75,000. Silvio, along with Svetlana, seem to persuade her to move on with her life.
At a bridal shop, while Janice is beaming over her upcoming marriage to Richie, Carmela comments that within a year, Janice will have to accept a comàre. Janice looks at Carmela smugly and tells her Richie will never stray as there would never be anyone else who would let him hold a gun to their head as they have sex. At Richie Aprile and Janice's engagement party, which Tony reluctantly hosts, Richie professes his love for Janice and his gratitude that he is entering a great family. Witnessing the pair's affection and happiness, Carmela escapes to the kitchen where she sobs uncontrollably. The following day, Carmela finds Vic Musto at a paint store, where she thanks him for not showing up to their intended luncheon since she would have done things that she would have later regretted.
