Anthony Soprano, jr., is on the slippery slope. He's failing in school, his partying habits are irresponsible, and he's talking back to his mom. Fairly typical stuff, unless you're the son of a mob boss and a self-involved mom.
Carmela gives up and lets AJ move in with his father, who passes the evenings away drinking beer and watching TV with his pals. And AJ has a lot more fun hanging out with these guys, being a man, than studying with a halfhearted tutor. Who could blame him?
You have to wonder what's going through Tony's head when he accepts AJ's lame explanation of what went down that evening and chalks it all up to juvenile fun'n games. Maybe he was getting back at Carmela by bringing AJ closer - it worked, when you see how alone Carmela looks in that vast West Caldwell house. Or maybe he's given up on AJ's prospects of going straight and decides to matriculate his son at the school of (giving out) hard knocks.
There are indications that AJ is bound to follow in his dad's footsteps when Dr. Melfi reads out loud his apologetic letter to her supervisor, who in turn takes just a little too much pleasure in repeating the word "cunt." Tony is practically illiterate, a point that the writers drive home by having Tony say "antedote" instead of "anecdote" when he's chewing out Feech.
But you have to wonder about Carmela. What is she supposed to be thinking? AJ was a pain in the ass, to be sure, but now she's lost him - probably for good. AJ knows he can never be good enough for her and will probably do anything to make Tony proud. Even if that involves whacking someone.
This might be a little too similar to the Godfather premise (and there may even be a clue to that in the dialogue), so I expect a twist. For a while I thought Meadow was showing the sharp edge that would make her Tony's heir apparent, but she's apparently too busy being a sexually active coed at Columbia. Or maybe that's a deception, too.
