What is the name of the episode where Livia Soprano dies?

The episode where Livia Soprano dies is “Proshai, Livushka.” It is the second episode of The Sopranos’ third season and originally aired on March 4, 2001.

In the episode, Tony visits Livia over the stolen airline-ticket scandal, but their confrontation ends without reconciliation. Later that evening, Livia dies from a stroke in her sleep. Her death leads to a funeral attended by Tony, Janice, and other family members, creating one of the series’ most uncomfortable and darkly comic gatherings.

The title is a Russian phrase commonly translated as “Farewell, little Livia.” Svetlana uses it as a toast while remembering Livia. The episode’s production was shaped by actress Nancy Marchand’s death in 2000. Creator David Chase decided that Livia should die as well, and her final appearance was assembled using earlier footage, recorded dialogue, and visual effects.

A common mix-up is assuming Livia dies during the previous season’s finale or in a separate funeral episode. “Proshai, Livushka” is both the episode in which her death occurs and the episode centered on its immediate aftermath.
