While driving up to Maine to visit colleges with Meadow, Tony spots a former family member who went into the Witness Protection Program after turning informant. While Meadow goes to her interview, Tony goes for revenge. Carmela, meanwhile, learns that Dr. Melfi is actually a woman, contrary to what her husband has been telling her. This drives her to seek comfort in the arms of Father Phil, who is already close to the point of returning her affections.
Romola Garai was 17 during filming. She was the same age as her character Cassandra.

Neil Cotton:
Why are you all dressed in green?
Cassandra:
There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.
Cassandra:
This is a crisis Simon, not a treat.
Cassandra:
I don't want to go through life like my mother, afraid that I'm not really loved, even if it meant I could go through life with you.
Cassandra:
Still, better all that hurt than to have known no pain; learnt nothing.
Cassandra:
I look a lot prettier when I'm not standing next to Rose.
Simon:
You always were wise beyond your years.
Cassandra:
No I wasn't. I used to be consciously naive.
Rose:
Well, I shall not forthcome again.
Thomas:
It's good you're feeling so angry - harness the rage!
Cassandra:
But dreams are like a drug: the magic doesn't last and then the pain is worse than knives.
Cassandra:
I said I would never fall in love; I said love was a murderous thing; And it is, and I'm floating on air.
Cassandra:
No towel in the world is worth marrying a bearded man you hate.
Cassandra:
Father. 'Jacob Wrestling' was a wonderful, groundbreaking book. There was never going to be a sequel overnight!
James Mortmain:
Meaning?
Cassandra:
Meaning, it will come!
James Mortmain:
How old are you?
Cassandra:
Seventeen.
James Mortmain:
And you still believe in fairy tales.
Cassandra:
I have put my own father back in prison.
Cassandra:
Is that all you think you're worth?
Topaz Mortmain:
It's what I have to make my mark.
Cassandra:
You've made your mark with us! Thomas. And Rose. And me.
Topaz Mortmain:
But I'm not your mother.
Thomas:
Don't worry, Topaz. Rose is dabbling in the occult.
Topaz Mortmain:
Oh. Well, full marks for enterprise.
Thomas:
Don't worry. Rose is dabbling in the occult.
Topaz Mortmain:
Oh. Well, full marks for enterprise.
Errors in geography: The story is supposedly set in Suffolk, where you simply would not find the wild heather-covered moorland of the location shots on the Isle of Man.
Continuity: When Simon is drinking his tea in the first shot, he receives the cup with his right hand and then turns the handle to actually drink with his left. The handle switches back and forth in subsequent shots.
Anachronisms: Rose sends Cassandra a bottle of what appears to be Penhaligon's Bluebell perfume for her 18th birthday. According to the Penhaligon's website, the Bluebell perfume was first manufactured in 1978, whereas the film takes place around the early 1940s.
