Reply #58: Here's what I think will happen to Tony

[LynneSin]

If no one replies to a 9/11 call usually someone is dispatched so they'll get Tony in time to save him. HOwever, I think they'll plop Tony into a coma for a couple of episodes, just long enough for everyone to fight over who is going to take over the family. Then when Tony starts coming around, nobody is going to want him back because he'll probably still be in poor shape and he'll be perceived as being 'weak' because of his condition.

Ok, now about the guy who hung himself - he was a forewarning of what is to come. Because all the bullshit fighting going on over who is going to run the family will convince Tony & Carmella to cut their loses and get out of the family. But as we saw in the first episode, it's not like you can up and retire from the family. People may not want Tony running the family but they also don't want him retiring to Florida.
