History Recap / TheSopranosS5E4AllHappyFamilies

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Tony wonders if Feech's seeming contrition is for real. He then remembers back to one of the poker games. As the camera slowly pans over the players, almost every mobster in the game is intentionally laughing at Tony's deliberately corny joke in order to [[ProfessionalButtKisser suck up to him]]. The one exception is Feech, who's boring holes into Tony with a DeathGlare. That's how Tony realizes that Feech is just another [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Richie]] [[TheStarscream waiting to happen]].

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Tony and Feech feel this way about each other, 100% mutually so. Tony feels that he's owed more respect as the recognized boss of the family, even if Feech has been around longer and has seniority. Feech in turn feels Tony is not respectful enough of his own seniority, either in his treatment of Feech or in decisions that affect Feech.

Feech, having overheard executive game participant Ira Fried mention his daughter's upcoming wedding, carries out a mass carjacking at the event. Fried contacts Tony asking to remedy the situation, and Tony holds a meeting with Feech. Though Feech initially maintains his stance that anyone other than the family of a made man is fair game to rip off, Tony reasserts his authority and Feech eventually acquiesces, admitting that he has shown a lack of respect for Tony because he still remembers him as a kid. This show of humility from Feech impresses even Silvio. However, Tony recalls that during the executive game, when he made his bad joke, Feech was the only one who didn't laugh. Tony references Richie Aprile and decides to "nip it in the bud" by sending Feech back to prison. On his orders, Christopher and Benny Fazio visit Feech, offhandedly mentioning a truck full of stolen [=TVs=] they need to store somewhere. Through careful manipulation, they convince Feech to volunteer his garage to them if they pay him $2,000 and give him a TV. Shortly after this, Feech's parole officer pays an unexpected visit after receiving an anonymous tip and discovers the contraband. Feech is sent back to prison, Tony having orchestrated a way of eliminating him without murdering such a well-respected figure.

* AlasPoorVillain: Feech was certainly due for some kind of comeuppance. But it's still saddening to see him carted off to prison on the bus. He takes every second he can to view the free world outside of prison during the bus ride, fully aware he's doomed to spend what's left of his life in prison.

As Lorraine Calluzzo continues kicking up to Little Carmine following her mock-execution and warning to align with Johnny Sack, the Leotardo brothers visit her once again, this time at her home. Billy Leotardo and Joey Peeps murder her boyfriend Jason while she showers, then sadistically chase Lorraine naked around the house before shooting her as well. Little Carmine is outraged by the news and advised by his consigliere Rusty Millio to strike back. The news of this escalation in the New York feud makes its way back to Jersey. As Tony and his crew speculate about the possible repercussions at the Crazy Horse lounge, Feech La Manna arrives to bust balls. Feech asks Tony to let him supervise his old executive card game, infamously robbed by Tony, Silvio, and Jackie Aprile back in the day. Tony lets Feech have the game but Silvio advises him to be cautious when it comes to appeasing the greedy and egotistical Feech.

* WhenIWasYourAge: Feech just loves to go on and on and on about the GoldenAge he came from and still remembers. So much so that it overlaps with him also being a LargeHam, especially during his hosted poker game.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Feech gets another one, the first of many times that he'll reminisce about how [[GoldenAge things were better]] in his day.

* BigBadWannabe: What Feech ultimately becomes, as Tony found him even easier to deal with than [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Richie]]. Not only that, Feech becomes barely a footnote in the narrative arcs of the last two seasons of the show, thereby paling in comparison to the threats posed to Tony by members of the New York family as the GreaterScopeVillain.

* UndignifiedDeath: Billy [[ShamefulStrip takes off]] Lorraine's [[ModestyTowel bath towel]], chases her and [[ClothFu whips her with it]] naked, and then shoots her while she tries to crawl away on all fours.

* SkewedPriorities: BlackComedy variation, mixed with AllJewsAreCheapskates. After discovering the cars have been stolen, the wedding party begins to yell at Ira over the loss of the cars. One man, in particular, is irate over his Mercedes convertible being stolen as he was on the wait list for over "a fucking year." Keep in mind that one of the valets is laying on the ground with a ''serious head wound'' from the robbery that Ira is trying to treat.

* {{Sadist}}: Billy takes perverse pleasure in whipping Lorraine naked [[ClothFu with her own towel]] before shooting her dead.
