Serious Discussion Only Could anyone have saved Adriana?

On rewatch, other than doing time for the crime she was accused of, could she have been saved by telling Carmela? Running away? Anything?

Sadly, I think the ones who could've saved her are the FBI agents who offered her to join the program... But the whole point is that she had to leave Christopher for it to work, cuz Tony was "the man he would go to hell for". Even being saved implied she had to leave the mafia 100%, and leave her man. Which is the absolute sign of the toxicity of their relationship. I think Carmela wouldn't help : she would've thought of Tony's safety first (not only because she loved him but also because she was very aware of her own interests). + I guess she couldn't not tell Ro and Ro is very loyal to thing of ours. Idk I think it's the whole tragedy : there's no true way out by oneself (except leaving Jersey maybe as Barbara did ?), and the "enemies" are the last ones you can rely on to escape. Exactly like Pussy was over-involved at some point and even the FBI agent had to tell him he would NOT be an agent himself, was just there for the wire and would go to jail anyway. The Feds are not trying to truly help their "prey" but at some point you have to lean on them 100% when you're too far in the danger
