When Danny is offered ice cream by Halloran outside the storeroom, watch Ullman, the symbolic bear.
Just as the small animal stares at Christoper's picture on the wall all day, Tony carries the weighty grief and self-reproach for in his heart and mind as he goes through life in the remainder of The Sopranos' series finale.
In the scene when Tony goes to see Melfi with the tickets to Bermuda, wait for it… the waiting room is reversed in that the door to the office is on the wrong side! Melfi as his marriage was breaking apart in 4.
While the bear symbolizes those threats from outside forces, it also shows that sometimes the danger lies within.
Not so lucky for the waiter, though.
It looked like a charcoal brickette laying there with the canned clam chowder.
