‘Sopranos’ predictions!

OK, don’t read this if you havent’ seen Sunday’s episode yet, but here’s what I think might be coming:

• Vito, far from dead yet, will hide out in New Hampshire, working at the antiques store, until a surprise visit from a vacationing family member gives him the idea that he needs to start working with the Feds — in fact, he’s the only guy other than Paulie with hooks into both the NJ and NY families, from his connection with Phil Leotardo. Could his testimony to save himself be what finally brings Tony down?

• Tony will declare a live-and-let-him-hide policy on Vito, and the guys in his family will declare him soft. Not good. Mutiny will begin, in subtle ways, starting with Paulie Walnuts.

• Speaking of Phil, he’s likely to make a play to run the New York family while Johnny Sack is in the pokey. Once he gets what he wants, his personal hatred of Tony will win out in the form of open violence.

• Speaking of Paulie, he’s soon dead. Tony will whack him either becuz he goes too far in his revolt over Vito getting a pass from Tony, or because T. realizes Paulie was rattin’ him out to Johnny Sack from Youngstown a few years back. Either way, he’s history, and soon.

• Carmela will get the building inspector pass on her spec house, thanks to Tony’s influence, but it will lead to some sort of investigation from the govt that spins out of control and catches them unawares.

• It’s time for the women to emerge within the family business. Meadow will get dragged into the business, the way Michael Corleone did (remember, Ron’s Sopranos Theory No. 1: The show follows the same story arc as ‘The Godfather.’), and have to become part of it all. Somehow, her boyfriend Finn will figure into this, accidently pushing her toward it. Meanwhile, Carmela has ambitions that will lead her to get involved in it all. The boys are about to start really messing things up. Just wait and see what happens.
