A senile and confused [[Uncle Junior]] shoots Tony one night in his house. Rendered comatose, Tony dreams he is a salesman on a business trip who mistakenly exchanges his briefcase and identification with a man named Kevin Finnerty. Tony's recovery from the shooting changes his outlook and he tries to mend his ways. However, he is faced with more problems in his business and personal life. Eugene Pontecorvo makes a request to Tony to get out of the life, which is subsequently denied, and coupled with the stress and problems with his home life, hangs himself in his garage. 

Once Tony is out of the hospital, [[Johnny Sack]]'s daughter is about to get married and the Soprano family attends the wedding. Johnny is approved to leave prison for six hours to attend, but he is humiliated by having to pay for the metal detectors and the presence of U.S. marshals at the event. As his daughter is about to drive away with her husband, Johnny's time expires and the marshals publicly take him back to prison. In a moment of weakness and despair, Johnny bursts into tears as he is handcuffed, dismantling the remaining respect his and Tony's crews had for him.

[[Vito Spatafore]] is outed as gay after running into a friend making collections at a New York [[Gay bar|gay nightclub]]. The rumor spreads quickly, and once word gets to Meadow that everyone else knows, she tells Tony and Carmela about the incident between Finn and Vito. Finn is forced to tell Tony's entire crew what happened with Vito and the security guard at the construction site, solidifying their suspicions about Vito's sexuality. Tony is urged to deal with the problem by the intensely homophobic [[Phil Leotardo]], now the acting boss of New York, whose cousin is married to Vito.

Once Vito is confronted by other members of the crew, he flees to a New Hampshire town, where he poses as an author and starts a romantic relationship with a male cook at a local diner. Despite finally living an authentic life, Vito misses the benefits his old job afforded him, so he eventually returns to New Jersey. He asks Tony to allow him to return to work, making a case that he could bring in a lot of money in Atlantic City. Vito visits his wife and children and continues to maintain that he is not a homosexual.

Tony mulls over the decision to let him back into the crew, as well as whether to let him live. When Tony fails to act, Phil intervenes and brutally executes Vito. When one of the members of the New York family, [[List of The Sopranos characters#Fat Dom Gamiello|Fat Dom Gamiello]], pays a visit to the Jersey office and won't stop making jokes about Vito and his death, [[Silvio Dante]] and [[Carlo Gervasi]] kill Fat Dom out of anger at his disrespect. Once more, it appears that the families are on the verge of an all-out war.

During the first half of the season, [[Christopher Moltisanti|Christopher]] and [[Little Carmine]] head to Los Angeles in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to try to sign [[Ben Kingsley]] for a [[slasher film]] they are trying to make called ''[[Cleaver (The Sopranos)|Cleaver]]'', which is a mix of ''[[The Godfather]]'' and ''[[Saw (2004 film)|Saw]]''. While in Los Angeles, Chris goes back to drinking and using cocaine for a short period, and he robs famous actress [[Lauren Bacall]]. When ''Cleaver'' comes out, Carmela is upset that the boss, who is based on Tony, sleeps with his underling's girlfriend, who seems to be based on Christopher's ex Adrianna. Tony's negative portrayal in the movie further strains his relationship with Christopher, along with the fact that Christopher had an affair with realtor [[Julianna Skiff]], a woman Tony was romantically interested in. When Christopher's new girlfriend [[List of The Sopranos characters#Kelli Lombardo Moltisanti|Kelli Lombardo]] accidentally gets pregnant, they decide to get married in Atlantic City. Later they welcome a baby girl.

Tony considers killing several of his associates for relatively minor infractions, including [[Paulie Gualtieri]]. Christopher is unable to thrive in the business because of his addiction, deflecting his problems by relapsing and killing his friend from Narcotics Anonymous and co-writer of ''Cleaver'', [[List of The Sopranos characters#J. T. Dolan|J. T. Dolan]]. He is then seriously injured in a car accident while driving under the influence of narcotics. Tony, the sole passenger, finally loses patience with Christopher's failings and suffocates him. He later tries to justify his actions by bringing up the infant car seat that was impaled by a branch in the accident, implying that Christopher was a danger to his daughter.

A.J. is dumped by his fiancée and he slips into depression, culminating in a [[suicide attempt]] in the backyard pool. After spending some time in a mental institution, he returns home but is still haunted by existential questions and he ultimately decides to join the army. Tony and Carmela come up with a movie set job to keep him from enlisting, with Tony promising he would one day finance A.J.'s nightclub. Dr. Melfi is convinced by colleagues that Tony is making no progress and may even be using talk therapy to excuse his own actions and as practice for manipulative behavior. She drops him as a patient and he fully quits therapy.

Johnny dies from lung cancer while imprisoned, and Phil officially takes over the Lupertazzi family after having his rivals killed. Phil renews his past feud with Tony and refuses to compromise with New Jersey on a garbage deal. When Tony assaults a Lupertazzi soldier for harassing Meadow while she was on a date, Phil initiates open war on the Soprano crew. He orders the executions of Bobby Baccalieri, who is shot to death; Silvio Dante, who ends up comatose; and Tony, who goes into hiding. Since Phil won't back down until Tony is executed, a deal is eventually brokered whereby the rest of the Lupertazzi family agrees to ignore the hit on Tony, allowing him to go after Phil without fear of repercussions. FBI agent [[Dwight Harris]] informs Tony of Phil's location, allowing Tony to have him killed.

Tony starts suspecting that [[Carlo Gervasi]], a capo from New Jersey, has become an informant in an attempt to help out his son, who has recently been arrested for dealing ecstasy. Tony meets his lawyer, who informs him that subpoenas are being delivered to New Jersey and New York crews alike. Tony visits Uncle Junior for the first time since the shooting, and although he does not forgive him, he comes to understand the full extent of his dementia and that his uncle likely had not meant to kill him.

Tony plans to have a quiet dinner at a diner with his family. As Meadow arrives at the door, the camera cuts to Tony. A bell signals the door opening, Tony looks up and the show [[smash cut]]s to black; after a few seconds, the credits roll in silence.
