Sopranos season04 episode02 - Silvio goes against Tony

Very long rambling post about The Sopranos season04 episode02 "No Show." This is an interesting episode to me as it is (I think?) the only time we see Silvio go against Tony - when he gives Patsy the ok to steal floor tiles from the building site where Chris has a no-show job, and thereby goes against Tony's orders.

Now, the reason for Silvio acting out is that he is not happy that Chris was made acting capo by Tony, as he feels Chris is usurping his place in Tony's inner circle.

When he tells Tony that Patsy feels marginalized by Chris' promotion, what he really means to say but doesn't is that he, Silvio, feels marginalized. Of course, Tony only mocks him, saying "marginalized, what the fuck does that even mean?"

But I think there is another, much funnier reason, why Silvio acts like he does. In the scene where he gives Patsy the ok to steal the tiles, we first see Silvio trying to repair a trophy in his office at the Bing. He seems to care about the trophy and gets frustrated when he realizes that someone has left off the cap of the krazy glue with which he wanted to fix it, making the glue dry out.

Now of course we don't know this for sure, but I like to believe that it was Tony who broke the trophy and left off the cap. We know he has a temper, unlike Silvio, who is usually very calm, and (I think?) we see him break things over the course of the show. And it was obviously not Silvio who left off the cap, so it was most likely Tony, since he and Silvio share an office at the Bing.

So, basically, Silvio decided to go against Tony's orders not only because of Chris' promotion, but also because he was sick and tired of Tony breaking and ruining his things. It's his office after all. And who knows how many times this has happened before...

I also love their making-up scene, when Silvio visits Tony at the house and is all like "Who me? That wasn't me with the tiles, it was all a big misunderstanding uwu" and Tony's comment about the whole situations is just "You know, you're getting to be a very strange man in your old age lol"

So yeah, in conclusion, poor Sil...
