The second season of "The Sopranos" is a turning point in the series. In Season 1 and early in Season 2, Tony Soprano's (James Gandolfini) was searching for better mental health with the help of Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Braco), and competing with his uncle and rival Corrado "Junior" Soprano (Dominic Chianese). Despite that, Tony's life is on a steadily upward trajectory. His criminal enterprises are expanding, and he becomes the boss in everything but name after the previous boss Jackie Aprile (Michael Rispoli) dies of cancer. While the law is always pursuing Tony's crew, the integrity of the crew itself is intact.
All of that changes as Season 2 progresses. Gradually, Tony realizes that his close friend and associate Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero has become an informant with the FBI. In the Season 2 finale, "Funhouse," (https://sopranos.fandom.com/wiki/Funhouse) Tony and the crew finally get definitive proof of Pussy's treachery. They deal with him, but from that point onward nothing is the same.
Here's what "Funhouse" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funhouse_(The_Sopranos)) is all about.
