That "slow-mo and freeze" didn't belong in the episode. Another thing I noticed that seemed different from all other episodes (but I may be mistaken) - the end credits rolled while Tony was still walking away from Janice's house. Haven't all other episodes ended with a black screen behind the credits? Maybe the director of last night's episode wanted to try some new things.

You're right. But that really worked. Tony was very satisfied with himself (just as much as when he toasted to a job well done with Tony B. and Christopher). He has that set to his shoulders while his figure gradually shrinks into the distance as the credits roll.

Maybe the director of last night's episode wanted to try some new things.

Maybe they don't want to identify as high-brow or arty, but would prefer to have the trappings of a plain old TV show.

I loved the final scene, where the credits rolled as Tony walked away into the distance.

I think it was a direct homage to the closing credits of Silence of the Lambs, where Hannibal Lecter does exactly the same thing.

Very foreboding symbolism too, if that's what the director was going for. Like Lecter, evil Tony is out of the box, turning his repressed anger outward, destroying everybody around him and feeling very very good about it.
