I don't agree. Melfi has been contemplating dropping Tony for a few seasons now. Yes it was cold of her to drop him like that. But in the past she's been somewhat afraid of him. It was almost as if she kept treating him out of fear. This episode she seemed to have finally worked up the courage to stand up to him and basically tell him "Fuck you, I'm not afraid of you anymore."

The're showing us that NO ONE seems to be taking him serious anymore. That no one is afraid of him anymore.

It was an excellent scene. A fitting ending to their relationship.
