What is the name of the episode where Janice kills Richie Aprile?

Janice kills Richie Aprile in “The Knight in White Satin Armor,” the 12th episode of The Sopranos’ second season. The episode originally aired on April 2, 2000.

Richie is already becoming a serious threat before Janice shoots him. He resents Tony’s authority, continues criminal activities that anger Tony, and quietly explores support for a plan to have Tony killed. Uncle Junior initially listens to Richie but ultimately informs Tony, helping set up a planned counterattack.

At home, Richie and Janice argue about Richie’s son, Jackie Aprile Jr., and Richie’s belief that his son’s interest in ballroom dancing reflects badly on the family. When Janice defends the boy, Richie punches her. She leaves the room, returns with a gun, and shoots him. Tony later helps arrange the disposal of Richie’s body, which is dismembered at Satriale’s Pork Store.

The title combines the phrase “knight in shining armor” with the Moody Blues song “Nights in White Satin.” Janice’s wedding preparations also add an ironic connection to the title. The episode is often remembered as the point where her family grievances become directly lethal.
