One always had a feeling that Prop Joe was threatened, but I was still
surprised that it happened this soon in the season. He was a great
character, and you can tell that Marlo respected him by the way he
talked to him at the end. In his eyes, it's just business. And Marlo
was right about him. He'd never have stayed retired. He'd have tried
to take revenge eventually.
I think the Greek knew what Marlo was planning because he made mention
of the fact that he would keep coming back. He knew Marlo was a guy
who didn't take no for an answer.
I really want that little prick to get what's coming to him. But I
don't think Simon & Company are going to wrap it up that nicely for
us. Don't expect a happy ending.

P.S. Cheese needs to get dead for sending his uncle to his death.
Maybe Charles or Omar will take revenge.
