6.21 "Made in America" - "The Sopranos" Series Fi Quiz

Answer: Phil Leotardo

The animosity between Tony and Phil Leotardo has reached its vicious climax. Business differences and Phil's rage over his brother's death at the hands of one of Tony's men have made peace between the two bosses impossible. Phil has Tony's number two man and consigliere Silvio shot, and he lies near death in the hospital. Bobby Bacala, Tony's number three guy and brother-in-law, was shot and killed in a hobby shop for toy train aficionados.

Johnny Sack and Chris Moltisanti have died, and Junior Soprano is confined to a mental hospice, suffering from Alzheimer's.

Answer: He wants to know Phil Leotardo's whereabouts

There's only one thing on Tony's mind--his problem with Phil Leotardo. Tony knows Leotardo wants him dead in the worst way. His family has had to abandon their home and are living in "safe houses". Tony sleeps with a big gun. The only way for Tony to survive is to strike at Phil first, and Phil is nowhere to be found. Since Agent Harris has many sources, Tony tries to get information from him, which is not forthcoming.

Answer: "I need to watch my weight, I need to snag another husband"

Ever-practical Janice is thinking ahead. She did say she was joking, but Janice never goes without a man for long.

Answer: George Paglieri

Paglieri, a former NY Family boss who now runs a restaurant, was the man both sides reached out to, to be the peace broker. Carmine Lupertazzi Jr was present at the meeting, as were Butch and Albie from New York, and Tony and Paulie from New Jersey. An agreement was reached. Janice will be compensated for the death of her husband, and Phil Leotardo will have to be done away with.

When Tony asks Butch where he can find Leotardo, Butch refuses to tell him, but says "You do what you gotta do."

Answer: They believe he has money stashed and want to know where it is

Corrado probably has money stashed in his house, but because he has advanced dementia, he doesn't even remember his niece and nephew. Janice really wants to get her hands on that money, reasoning that her late husband Bobby had been very close to her Uncle Jun. Tony tries to jog Corrado's memory, but his uncle is just too far gone. Tony is saddened to see his uncle in such bad shape, despite the fact that Corrado nearly killed him.

Answer: AJ's SUV catches on fire

AJ and his girl Rhiannon (whom Tony refers to as "Rahooney") are lucky to get out alive. AJ has parked on top of some dried leaves, and the SUV's catalytic converter causes the leaves to burn, which in turn causes the SUV to burn and eventually explode. AJ refers to the experience as "cleansing" while discussing it later with his shrink. He tells his angry parents it's actually a good thing the SUV burns--it will force him to take the bus. He says "we have to break our dependence on foreign oil."

Meadow Soprano is studying to become a criminal lawyer, and her boyfriend is the son of Patsy Parisi, one of Tony's men.

Answer: FBI Agent Dwight Harris

Harris calls Tony from a bed in a motel room. He tells Tony that Phil is "lammed out", forced to make calls from a gas station pay phone located in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Harris terminates the call when a woman comes out of the motel bathroom, getting dressed. She appears to have heard the call and looks very angry--then she straps a gun holster on. Turns out she's the married Harris's FBI partner.

Answer: His SUV runs over his head

No one who saw this scene will forget it. Phil's wife is at the wheel-she runs to where Leotardo has fallen--leaving the SUV in gear. It rolls, Phil is underneath and his head is run over.

When Agent Dwight Harris of learns of Leotardo's death, he is jubilant: "Damn! We're gonna win this thing!" he yells. Whose side is Harris on?

Answer: Carlo

It's Carlo, whose son had been arrested in Mexico shortly before for selling drugs. Apparently Carlo made some kind of deal with the government. Tony's lawyer thinks there's an 80-90 percent chance that Tony will be indicted.

Soprano shrugs-he lives with the possibility of jail every day of his life.

Answer: "Don't Stop Believing" - Journey

Interesting song titles. There are many so theories about what the final scene meant, a guy in a Members Only jacket giving the family frequent looks, Meadow's parking problem and the end coming right as she enters the restaurant, to name a couple. So it's over, and "The Sopranos" will be sorely missed.
