The Sopranos Carlo Did Not Necessarily Flip

"somebody's giving grand jury testimony on something." (fact)

I figure in all probabilities it was Carlo, whose son got arrested around the same time. Who else?

I don't think Butch had a reason to kill Tony. He basically ok'd the murder of phil but refused to help by telling his whereabouts. Also Carlo did flip. In the very final scene Tony says so to Carmela.

Paulie didn't suddenly started kissing Tony's rear because of Carmine Sr.

Silvio had already warned him that his earning was at an all time low, so he improved on it.

Butch does have a reason to kill Tony S.

The way Phil was whacked in front of his family and no possibility of an open casket.

He would need to kill Tony S to safe face with NY family.

Boss 4 a boss both killed in front of there families all adds up?

Butch never really like Phil. That's the whole point of the scene in Chinatown... Phil led Butch astray both literally and symbolically.

Did you notice the cold weather and the sound effects in both scenes?

Carlo flipped to keep his son out of prison! Simple as that. I'm sure he didn't want to but he wants his son to have a better life than jail time.

I still think Carlo flipped. For one thing, Tony is certain of this in the final scene at the diner. Maybe he got further information between this scene and meeting the family for dinner. In any event, Carlo being "old school" is irrelevant. Plenty of old school gangsters have fliiped over the years.

As for Butch, he has no reason to hold a grudge against Tony. Butch is now the head of a NY crime family, thanks to Tony.

carlo flipped and was going to testify check out the end scene in the diner when tony says to carm that carlos going to testify in court
