When something unpleasant is going to happen you sometimes prepare others for it by sitting the stage. You sprinkle hints in conversation so that when the bad outcome happens it's not a surprise. Also, it covers your responsibility if you are successful at directing the blame elsewhere.
The best quote of this episode comes from a guy Jackie Jr was staying with when he was in hiding. It actually harkens back to the last episode about not taking short cuts. Jackie Jr. was playing chess and he got frustrated and hit the chess pieces. The response from this guy was "Play it out it's the only way your going to learn."
Pick the right time to talk to someone. It's important to know the person well enough to know when they will be receptive to what you are saying or asking for.
Don't be the first to show up at a party. It makes you look too eager.
Sometimes when you are a boss you have to make difficult decisions. If your lucky though you can delegate some decisions to others. But, even if you do that your still responsible in everyone's opinion.
This is the official end of the first half of the running of the Sopranos. I always thought that past Season 3 the show started to take a downward turn. When I started this blog I even thought about ending it after Season 3. But, thinking about everything that is going to happen I think keeping this rolling is a good thing. I'm looking forward to re-visiting these last three seasons as it's been a while and they weren't watched as often as the first three.
