 Anthony is developing behavior problems in addition to his already dismal grades. He takes Carmela s car for a joyride (causing an accident), and then shocks his parents by announcing that he believes God is dead and doesn t want to be confirmed. Angry at his son s rebelliousness, Tony asks Pussy, Anthony s godfather, to try and straighten him out. Pussy, however, is getting in deeper with the FBI, who force him to wear a wire to Anthony s confirmation party. The stress of his double life causes him to lash out at his wife, and later have a breakdown from his increasing isolation.
