Interesting episode. It seems to me that the producers/creators are laying out several possible scenarios for how Tony might go down. First, you've got the obvious - a blood feud with the NY-led Phil Leotardo gang. Second, a possible taking-down by the feds on any number of charges. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they ended up "getting" Tony via some link to terrorism. After all, I think it's true that they eventually got Capone for the relatively innocuous charge of tax evasion. I'm not saying or implying that helping terrorists is small-time, just that it seems only tangentially related to "regular" mob business.
And now, with last night's story, it seemed to me that Chase, et al might be trying to work a newly coherent Uncle Junior back into the mix. On a side note, in light of the awful events of last week at VTech, was anyone else weirded out by Junior's new rage-filled Asian friend? It was difficult for me to watch his scenes - especially the ones after he went off on his Mom where it became obvious the guy was unstable. Anyway, I'm sure others will have more insightful analysis - I just enjoy watching sometimes without trying to figure out exactly where things are headed.
