It seems Pauly is the traitor to me. He handed off his obligations against Phil to another man. -When Tony was emptying his home to go hide, Pauly was making Jokes about AJ during inappropriate times. --When Tony needed a report on Sylvios' condition; Pauly knew up to the minute. ---Pauly used to bust on Bacala's toy trains, Phil's men knew where to find him. ----At the decision meeting Phil asked to hit Bacala, Sylvio, and Tony- No mention of Pauly. -----When they got to the hideout house Pauly parked out front, with more unusual ease... ------Amazing how Sylvio was just leaving as if maybe Pauly was the quarter back. In previous episodes Pauly offered himself up to Johnny Sak on a silver platter. Add that to Tony feeling a whole lot distristrusting of Pauly on thier trip and the absence of Christopher to watch him as a partner, it is pretty clear to me that Pauly is the traitor who is leading Phils advance right to Tony Soprano. At the end of this show, Tony is the only one upstairs. On the Lower floor the only remaining member of his entire crew in that group is Pauly. As TS stares at the door knowing not to trust, David Chase must be giving us that feeling. I make these predictions knowing that they hold for 6 days; Knowing David Chase always creates surprises and knowing I have been wrong. HOWEVER- I predict that the Sopranoes will end with Pauly leading Tony to his demise, and then they will do him too- Hard to believe Dr. Melfi would let 1 report end 7 years of work like that. There has to be some better way for this to end than 1 2 3 and then Tony? But, for now I think Pauly is the Rat- Maybe Tony will figure that out or be advised. It was tasteful Tony Soprano was reading and then Dr Melfi took issue with Tony taking a page from the Departures magzine as she shows him the door on his final departure. Great show, I will miss it like an old friend. It was top of the line.
