" Isabella " is the 12th episode of the HBO original series The Sopranos . Written by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess , and directed by Allen Coulter , it originally aired on March 28, 1999.
Tony is deeply depressed after Pussy 's unexplained disappearance. He sees a beautiful Italian woman in the Cusamanos' back yard next door. She tells him her name is Isabella and that she is a foreign exchange student staying there while the Cusamanos are away. He takes her out to lunch and she describes the beauty of Avellino , where Tony's grandfather came from. He has a daydream about Isabella in a rocking-chair in a village house, nursing a baby named Antonio.
One day Isabella is no longer there. When the Cusamanos return Tony asks about her and realizes he has been hallucinating. Dr. Melfi instructs him to stop taking lithium , and theorizes that Isabella was an idealized maternal figure.
Mikey , acting through Donnie Paduana , contracts two black gunmen to carry out the hit on Tony. Junior cannot bear to hear the details of the plan when Mikey tries to report.
Chris is concerned about his boss's emotional state and secretly follows him; he unknowingly prevents the hit when he pulls his car up next to the assassins', blocking their view of Tony. Mikey and Donnie urgently meet on the streets about the failed attempt, with Junior hiding in the back seat of Mikey's car. Donnie promises the hit will be the next day and casually remarks that even Tony's mother wants him dead. Junior, fearing Donnie's "big mouth", gestures to Mikey that he should kill Donnie. He does it.
The next day, the assassins make their move. In a ferocious struggle, one of them is killed and the other is briefly dragged along the street as Tony drives away. Elated, he can't help crashing into a parked car. In the hospital, Tony says that his injuries, only minor, occurred in an attempted carjack, a story that not even A.J. believes. FBI Agent Harris comes to his bed and offers a deal, including immunity from prosecution , which Tony scornfully rejects.
The next day, Livia and Junior call on Tony at home. Livia claims that she doesn't know who Meadow is; Junior later comments on the "good timing" of this apparent memory loss.
Isabella is the Italian exchange student Tony hallucinates.

During the scene in the kitchen, when Christopher is talking to Tony, you can hear a faint dripping, indicating that Tony might still be sitting in the shower daydreaming.
After Tony's second assailant accidentally kills the first, Tony leans forward to grab the second's gun. When he does, two men and a part of a third can be seen through his back passenger window. While all other extras in the scene can be seen running in fear, these men appear to be sitting around watching the attempted murder and smiling. Whether these were crew members caught in the shot or extras who thought they were out of it is unknown.
Part of the appeal of The Sopranos is its ability to mix genres almost seamlessly. Case in point: the penultimate episode of Season One, part Italian-style romance, part American hard-boiled gangster story. As a matter of fact, the two aspects are connected as they both influence the main driving force of this particular show: Tony's stress and medication-related loss of energy. He needs something to shake things up, to make him feel alive again. At first, he thinks he has found it in the shape of Isabella (Maria Grazia Cucinotta), a young, beautiful woman who is staying at Dr. Cusamano's while the latter is out of town with his family. Using their common ancestry as the first topic for a conversation, the depressed gangster enjoys Isabella's company, but that's still not good enough. No, what really gets his spirits up is a failed attempt on his life, sanctioned by his uncle: though badly wounded, Tony shoots both the aggressors and then drives away, the adrenalin pumping like crazy in a body that has just retrieved its life force. This is a beautiful episode of the series: it sets the tone for the season finale to perfection, hints that some people might not live until the end of the show's run, and features one of the program's most charming guest stars - Cucinotta. Though she isn't known for anything else, even in Italy, but The Postman (the Massimo Troisi and Philippe Noiret-starring masterpiece, not the Kevin Costner flop), her brief, passionate turn as Isabella provides a lush, seductive look to the episode, a visual treat that is later counterbalanced by the sudden, quick brutality of the murder attempt (which contains another tasteful Godfather rip-off: Tony buys orange juice just before he becomes a target). The scenes featuring Isabella have an almost dream-like quality, albeit different from other episodes: whereas most dreams in the show are bad omens and populated by people Tony has more or less directly killed (as seen in The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti, for example, although that one involved Christopher), the protagonist's dealings with this gorgeous stranger from Naples have a calming effect on both the Soprano boss and the audience, before they're all brought back to the harsh reality of life in crime. Whether it all was a dream or not is never fully explained (clues indicate either solution could be correct), another reason for watching this splendid show again and again.
