Larry is of no more use to Sophia and has served his perpose where as Morello could take Sophia as his mistress(later)...
I (respectfully) disagree about Larry Morello.
He has for sure served
a purpose in softening up Sophia's feelings about being indebted to the Mafia, what with her now considering going back to Don Morello to ask for a favour - but why go through all that to introduce the two of them if Sophia is then just to become The elder brother's mistress?
Remember a year ago, all the people in the thread talking about
Don Morello is a man of principle, he's married, he'd never touch Sophia now that his brother has eyes for her.
Plus there was the Don's line about "He could sing his way out of that cell any time he wants..." - What if the person Larry is protecting by keeping his mouth shut is his older brother?
If Morello Sr. starts a relationship with Sofia, it will be a blow to the pride of his brother, who is in prison. I think this scenario is not realistic.
Also disagree - you're 100% right it would be a blow to Larry's pride, and how
juicy would that be.
Wild speculation to follow:
How cool would it be if Sophia ends up being the wedge between the two Morello brothers, both vying for her hand and willing to betray each other to get it.
You're probably both right and it won't go nearly that melodramatic, but it's fun to imagine.
