issue and can work it out the following episode titled bokeh livy refers to her son as a mental patient and just the thought of it sickens junior don't talk about tony it's done this episode also has junior completely embarrassed by his reputation that he gives oral sex hey listen my friend at least i can deal with my own problems unlike some i know what's that supposed to mean take it however you

that huh my nephew is seeing a psychiatrist ain't that he wants to play games okay i taught him games i taught him how to play baseball you talking about clipping him nobody would slap my wrist if i did in episode 11 titled nobody knows anything uncle junior comes and visits livia on a regular basis here in this episode livia blobs open her mouth and reveals to junior that three of his capos jimmy raymond and tony all have their mothers in green grove behind junior's back three of my couples have their mothers in this place instead of living in normal homes with their sons like human beings this must be some kind of [ __ ] end move what do they think i'm stupid we'll see now wait a minute if this is true olivia you know what i i mean i'm the boss for christ's sake if if i don't act blood or no so all this now has been delivered to junior he's completely humiliated about his oral sex doing finds out that tony is in therapy and livia is just stirring the pot to all this she says here that she doesn't want that kind of talk but she is really stating that she wants her very own son killed to avoid the blame for tony's death she starts faking a dementia or cluelessness phase simply to ignore the fact that she wants her only son dead who is that phil that girl who meadow who is she you say concerto that's your granddaughter meadow all right don't get impatient i'm
