Her deception caught up with her after the FBI learned of her involvement in covering up a murder at her club and threatened to press charges of being an accessory to murder against her unless she offered full cooperation, to include wearing a wire. She chose to reveal the truth to Christopher, hoping they could run away together and start new lives.
Christopher was enraged, beating and almost strangling her to death, before breaking down crying. His loyalty to his crime family turned out to be greater than his love for her as he revealed Adriana's status as an informant to Tony Soprano. Tony had Silvio Dante , under the pretense that he was taking her to Christopher whom Adriana was told had attempted suicide , execute her that very day.
Carmela, along with many others, believe Adriana moved away after breaking up with Christopher. There was initial speculation Adriana may not have been killed — the primary reasoning for this was her death was not seen, which was unusual in the course of the series; the camera tilted upward, away from Silvio and the crawling Adriana, before two gunshots are heard.
De Matteo was also under contract to appear in the sixth season. However, in her audio commentary on the fifth season DVD, de Matteo confirmed Adriana is indeed deceased, and the show's frequent use of dream imagery instead provided for her return; she appeared in a dream of Carmela 's in the sixth season premiere on March 12, , " Members Only ".
Also in that episode, Carmela asks Tony about Adriana he quickly changes the subject. Liz tells Carmela that she believes Christopher killed Adriana, and that the FBI came to her with questions about her.
When Carmela tells Tony about their conversation, he explains there was no body, and reminds her that if the FBI really thought Christopher had killed her, they would have hauled him in. While in Paris, Carmela dreams of seeing Adriana in a park, but a policeman tells her Adriana is dead, and asks Carmela to make this clear to her friend.
Carmela is intent on finding her, especially after Liz La Cerva lands in the hospital following an attempted suicide. However, Tony and Silvio pull some strings and Carmela is able to continue construction on her spec house, and the distraction keeps her from investigating the matter further. Adriana's off-screen death in The Sopranos also shuffles up the character dynamics for the rest of the series.
For one, it forces the audience to reassess their opinion of Tony, just as Breaking Bad fans had to confront the disturbing truth about Walter White. Adriana's demise leads to Christopher's heroin addiction, which ultimately leads to his own tragic death at the hands of Tony. As de Matteo has noted, the off-screen killing of Adriana is symbolic of the inherent darkness in The Sopranos :.
The only character who came from a place of love and innocence was Adriana. Hough is a senior writer at Screen Rant. He's also the founding editor at Vague Visages, and has contributed to RogerEbert. Hough Published Nov 15, Share Share Tweet Email 0. She does and, instead of leaving with Silvio Dante Steven Van Zandt as planned, we see her driving away from New Jersey alone, finally escaping the life she should have escaped years before.
However, one cut later and we see hat this was a daydream: Adriana is sat in the car with Silvio, the very character who will end up whacking her in the woods. He would go that far to divert the crew from being able to leak anything. And when you thought she was going to succeed, you were so happy for her and so relieved. In a series filled with murder, Adriana's is the most gut-wrenching. After coming to the realisation she's being driven to her death at the same time as the audience , the actual moment sees her crawl away from Silvio, too frightened to run.
He raises his gun and pulls the trigger as she crawls out of shot, made more effective by what you don't see.
