Finn and Meadow met at Columbia State University, where the two got along well and shared an apartment. Finn was a youngster from Mission Viejo California, but Meadow hailed from a New Jersey mafia family. Finn is only part Italian, but the two seem to work well together. Tony Soprano even goes so far as to get him a job at the construction yard. With a relationship that works so well, Finn’s choice to leave Meadow seems motivated by something else.
Leaving Meadow
One night, Meadow discovers that Finn has packed his bags in preparation to leave and an argument ensues. Finn’s feelings towards Meadow were strong, and the two almost get engaged at one point. Finn explains that he caught one of Tony’s henchman fellating a security guard early one morning, and he is leaving to avoid intimidation and physical violence. Meadow agrees to keep his secret, and she lets him leave on good terms.
Supporting Meadow
When Tony went into a coma, Finn returned to support Meadow and help her get through the tough times. During these moments, the spark reignites and their relationship returns to full-swing to the point where they become engaged. Meadow eventually spills Finn’s secret about Vito Spatafore to her mother. Although Finn’s love for Meadow is genuine, it is not strong enough to face Tony’s organization head on.
Finn’s testimony on Vito’s alleged homosexuality ultimately leads to Vito’s death. The entire process leaves Finn feeling uncomfortable and visibly shaken. The relationship between Finn and Meadow begins a slow decline after that moment, culminating in Meadow admitting that the engagement is off because Finn was “abnormal.”
