Analysis |
| |
This episode plays out like a Greek tragedy for its two lead protagonists: Mike Brannon and Tony Lamberto. Brannon lets his blind hatred for Lamberto destroy his soul and lead the rest of his family down the path to destruction. Lamberto discovers to his chagrin that the only thing worse than an enemy is having a friend in the Mob.
