Throughout the series, Tony Soprano has always like to compare himself to Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone, despite having to face the fact that he will never be as great a gangster as Mario Puzo's brilliant creation. Here he finally comes to accept that truth, even if ti isn't for the reasons one might expect.
The sudden change of heart is caused by AJ's attempt to kill Junior in order to avenge Tony's shooting. Thanks to the right connections, the boy avoids prison, and in spite of his admiration for Michael Corleone's similar actions in The Godfather, Tony is forced to teach his son that movies aren't real life. Another person finding it difficult to adjust to the real world is Vito Spatafore, who manages to hit it on with a New Hampshire diner owner named Jim but is too scared of his own inclinations to successfully embark on the relationship at first. Meanwhile, back at home a furious Phil lets Tony know that if nothing is done about the scandal Vito has caused, he will have no choice but to kill the "finocchio" himself.
Just like the sixth episode of the season, Johnny Cakes doesn't rely on outbursts of primal brutality to make the drama more compelling: smart scripts, poignant character developments and the occasional TV celeb making a guest appearance (ER's Julianna Margulies in this case) will do just as fine. While Vito's inner conflict has already been depicted with honesty two episodes back, the father/son bond in the Soprano family has never been dealt with in a stronger fashion, the best effort coming from Iler, whose role has successfully evolved from the couch-occupying nitwit he was in the earliest episodes of the series. He may not be Michael Corleone, or Fredo, or Sonny, but it doesn't matter: what really counts is he's a Soprano.
