Season 2 Episode 6, "The Happy Wanderer"

The opening scene in this episode is of Tony at a college seminar for high school students with Meadow. After the seminar gets out, they both talk to an old friend of Tony's who's at the seminar with his son. I find scenes like these to be really humanizing for Tony, as it's easy to forget that he is a father and goes through stuff many parents go through like sending their children to college. 

The next scene is of Tony at his therapist's office, discussing how he dislikes that she is always making him feel like a victim. He also talks about the fact that he doesn't understand why he's so angry sometimes, and why it bothers him so much if he sees someone else who is happy. I really resonated with this scene and Tony's sentiments here. Sometime, I also get in a sour mood, and like Tony, it bothers me when I see someone who seems to be super happy and in a great place mentally. And it's super silly and there's no need for it, but it happens. So I completely understand where he's coming from here.
