I agree with Olivant. When Tony was shot by Junior and went into the coma and went through the dreams and stuff, and then came out of the coma, he seemed as though he had become a changed man. Especially when he was being wheeled out of the hospital and saw the light of day for the first time since being shot. He was made to look as though he had a new appreciation of life because he came so close to dying. Made to look as though he had become a changed man, a more humbled man. And what happened? A few episodes later he became the same old vindictive son of a bitch gangster that he had been before his being shot. He went right back to being the same old Tony. Sure he has his moments here and there where he seems to be a more caring husband, father and friend, but when push comes to shove, he goes right back to being his same old self.

Chase has already showed us that the leopard could NOT change his spots.

Tony will never change totally.
