Capos arent there to stash stuff. That was just something Tony did one time when they were under indictment. They put their mothers there so they could have meetings behind Juniors back. Livia is aware of ALL of this. She’s actually much much smarter and devious than y’all think. Notice how she says to Junior “Well maybe it was you they were talking about”. She puts on this innocent old lady act but she’s actively trying to pit Junior against Tony.

I loved that line. She knew exactly what to say to push Junior's buttons.

In the episode Boca, they discuss why the capos are moving their moms into the nursing home. "The feds would never think about bugging an old folks home." They are using it for high level meetings, and not including Junior. Junior takes it as they are moving against him. In reality, Tony is the real boss, and Junior doesn't understand he is being played by multiple people.

Johnny Sack is the guy from the New York mafia who helped solve the issue with Hesh earlier. He essentially handles contacts with the smaller Jersey family. He was meeting Tony and the other Jersey capos at Green Grove, behind Junior's back.

They’re assuming the retirement community isn’t and wouldn’t be bugged so the captains can have meetings there. Junior should be the first one to know because he’s supposed to be their boss…..

Funny story I got from the Sopranos podcast, but there's a line when Tony is talking to the madam after Makazian killed himself where she says that he thought Paulie was a psycho. Originally the line was that he was a bully, but Tony Sirico, who plays Paulie was livid at being called a bully, so they changed it to psycho, which he was fine with.

You guys are easily the best critcal thinkers of any react channel apart from like actual film students (which is no fun because they've already seen everything). seeing your first time reactions to these timeless masterpieces are incredible, from succession to sopranos and barry, as well as hearing your COMPLETELY honest reactions in your underrated film reviews is great. if you ever started a patreon with full reactions I would for sure sign up, all good if not because charlie does a pretty great job fitting everything important into the edit. Feel better Abe!

I have watched several reactors discuss this show and others. These guys get it! I know other commenters have said the same, but they are thoughtful in their considerations like Ton in this episode. The breakdowns are very good, I won’t say how accurate they are 🤐 I keep my mouth shut, but enjoyable to see these guys.

Yeah, as you say, Livia doesn't have traditional "plot" motives; it's all about her psychological damage and negativity, with the retirement community being the breaking point. In this show, realistic character psychology trumps plot and traditional genre motivations, which leads to a very different style of storytelling, only replicated in Mad Men (which is done by an ex-Sopranos writer, Matthew Weiner, who joins in season 5). It's why I don't agree with the people that focus too much on the mafia side of the show; it's there, but a lot of the time it's in the background of the episodes. It's not like in Breaking Bad, where Walt's character development and the plot were completely connected; and this is why this show feels more "real", the characters behave more like in real life, even if that means going against plot conventions.
