He started undermining her authority. You gotta get rid of him or the peons will start picking sides.

I think it was just trying to hard to show who she is, she had already just murdered her family. Idk I just feel like it was trying to hard to show she's a girlboss

I mean it is showing that she is the mafia boss but not in an unreasonable way. I just thought she only kept him alive to make an example out of him later. What other reason did she have for leaving him alive? She could have done away with him earlier with the rest of the family. It was theatrical but planned. Not impulsive.

She was going to kill him the whole time. She just had him assemble everyone because if she blasted him in the basement she wouldn't have been able to make her pitch. He was dead one way or the other.

I'm trying to suspend my disbelief here a little bit.

But why would there be a working gas generator in a decades abandoned subway tunnel. The Ninja Turtle lair is going to be cool though.
Yeah, too many mental hurdles to resolve. Super vintage generator, somehow has non corroded points and spark to light off many years old fuel? Some of the guys here missed that this room was set up by Oz and his brothers. So at least ten years since he was down there. Probably 15 to 20. This was a decent episode, but that dude was stupid not to kill Sofia the first chance he got. She was clearly going to kill him and he pushed his luck further by dismissing her Gigante gang idea in front of everyone. That shit was just dumb.

Yeah I wondered about that as well. I just shrugged it off. There was another scene that bothered me more.

How would a person not smell the gasoline? "What have you done to my son, why is he all wet"? How would you not even consider that it was not gasoline? As soon as her son got within 10 feet of her, she would have smelled what it was, and would have had him get the fuck out. She would not have hugged him......WTF? Now if he had lit it as he ran too her....maybe.

That scene bothered me more than the generator working many years later.

Loved when strong female mafia boss Sofia shot the guy in front of her new crew. That got me back into the show. That part was well done.

Still enjoying the show...

I think with all the small nitpicks the show is an 8/10 so far. Pretty good mafia show even if it wasn't called the penguin.

I think this episode more than made up for the last one. Left off on a good energy, too.

I'm so glad these writers got paired with Farrell. Or maybe he's carrying them, but they definitely aren't bad. Farrell needs an Emmy for this.

I don't think Sophia will be able to kill Oz's mom. She's too schizo about that one issue and they've been telegraphing it for a long time now. Oz moved heaven and earth to protect his mom from any of this and he's an extreme momma's boy.

I can see her dying and this makes Oz become the Penguin for real or Vic dying. One of them will get got so he loses something big but maintains a win. I bet he kills the hooker himself though.

Keep in mind this show is over in 2 episodes. Not the season, but the show. Sofia is going to kidnap Oz's mom and let Clancy Brown have her, perhaps she changes her mind and kills him, but Sofia isn't really interested in killing women. she has to give Clancy something, so this will be it so their alliance can happen. But as I said, she may change her mind because Penguin has all the muscle and she and Clancy don't have shit. The smart move is to deal with Penguin and remove Clancy from the picture.

But on the other hand, Sofia has nothing to bargain with Oz about except safe passage for his mom. If she uses the kid as a bargaining chip, I'm sure Oz will tell her to fuck off. It's gonna be the mom that turns this whole thing upside down.
