Ralph and Johnny really foreshowed the war between the families. It was mainly the quick temper of Johnny that started the war, and it’s shown here that Johnny wanted to whack the CAPTAIN of another family all because of a joke. Hell, even Carmine thought it was crazy and put a hit on Johnny.

Taking his leave as soon as it was set up. I'm surprised Jr. wasn't very suspicious (even though we know Bobbi). I'm reminded of "Paulie" in the Godfather. His taking the day off was all it took for him to die over the steering wheel out in the country. We know why, but why wasn't Bobbi looked at similarly - especially when multiple high level targets were gathered in the same place.

1:16 Carmine sensed that passive aggressive tone in Johnny’s voice and quickly tries to calm him.

I just realized the only reason that Johnny made even more fuss is because Paulie being a rat to Johnny was way too valuable in the past so he elected not to have a huge asset killed.

I'm no expert at the series but it strikes me as John still playing the long con here. Paulie was formidable in many ways, but he wasn't necessarily the brightest. He was being played like a fiddle by John, and John saw him as a long-term asset.

“Who’s that, Tony?” It’s very telling that Junior’s opening contribution to the sit-down was a question of utter confusion. Afterward, he goes on to continue asking questions, most of them obvious. He is completely out of touch with all family business.

[@Delightfully_Bitchy]

You say that, but he was right to ask how Sack knew about it if he wasn't there and was 100% correct in his conclusion that Tony was correct. Honestly, Junior was the best reader of people on the cast. (So long as a beautiful woman wasn't in the room.)

[@CyckOne]

@@Delightfully_Bitchy oh no doubt, you make a good point. Junior, up to a specific point before the dementia really settled in, continued to have genuine intuitive moments where he read a person or a situation perfectly (warning Richie about Janice’s true nature)…. but those moments were typically undercut with instances of him being a squirrelly old loon who gets his hand trapped in sinks for hours. After those embarrassing moments, whatever influence he had as a “semi-retired” don was essentially undermined. The way this scene ends also perfectly exemplifies that.

He had some integrity in keeping his informants safe, in contrast to how embarrassingly bad the FBI was at keeping their informants safe. Even if no one trusted Johnny, he would've gotten what he wanted and Jersey would still have to do business with them. The only difference is he probably wouldn't be invited to the poker games and other hang out spots. Fast forward even more it's all for nothing, since he starts looking down on Tony.
