AWESOME episode, one of the best ever in an already stellar season. It sucks this show is ending.
Regarding last episode in particular. I didn't quite get Phil Leotardo's anger at the end, or the glass eye guy's shock at what Tony was doing/had done. I mean, wtf did they expect him to do when his daughter is threatened in public like that? Obviously he's going to retaliate, I'm surprised he didn't blow the guy's brains out.
So, is the reaction from NY all an act, and were they trying start a war? Or do Phil & Co. genuinely believe that Tony went "too far" or something like that?
It just seems crazy to me that they would think Tony would respond to something directly involving his daughter with anything less than immediate bloody retribution.

1. Phil doesn't know that there was something said about his daughter. Tony may just be claiming that. Since tensions are already high between them, Phil has the right to think that Tony is simply 'using' their discord to beat the [censored] out of one of Phil's guys.
This episode had so many great shots and lines as I said, but I think my favorite was when Phil was yelling out of the house at Tony and Carmine. After their conversation is over, Carmine says, exasperated, 'Why is Phil like that?' and the look on Tony's face says that he knows EXACTLY why - that Phil suffers from depression the same way Tony does.
