Pussy's story here on his return, I'm not sure I'd have so easily bought it, easy for me to say i guess the guys are all great friends, everyone wants it to be true but pussy and his back, again. And there's no where he could have gone in North America the only one single person who could help was a Costa Rican, so much so he had to go down there, couldn't tell his wife or kids. Its a really hard sell the FBI had him come up with imo and personally one I'd have at least looked it over a once or three times. One thing to note: yes junior did take a lot of pride in being the boss. But that's not the reason he wouldn't admit that Tony was the real boss. The actually reason is that he is incredibly "old school" and doesn't believe in talking to the FBI or Police, even if it means getting reduced sentencing. He is one of the last remaining people the actually believes in the "mafia code". He realizes he got beat by Tony so he just accepts it and takes his chances with the lawyers. Janice is a manipulator, not a master manipulator like Livia, but she will definitely cause problems for Tony. She rolled back into town because she wants the house and whatever else she can get her hands on, if and when Livia dies. Think of her like a vulture circling over a dying animal. Honestly, the Janice character was the one I hated the most in the series. No, Nia, there is nothing wrong with Barbara. She is not sick, she is just the sister who knows that Tony is more than capable of handling things correctly. Barbara is probably the most normal person in this family. And here we see the beginning of the downfall of Christopher. "You need impulse control," Tony says to him. And he does because he is a junkie Wait until Tony discovers this! Christopher is a weak individual. There are a lot of weak individuals in this series, like Junior and Christopher. And by weak, I mean weakness of character. Poor, Tony has to "carry" everyone. It's a big burden on him. Tony definitely needs his psychiatrist back.
