Tony running from the FBI to safety truly shows that he does have the makings of a varsity athlete

Warning: Spoilers
All due respect, this is the best episode of season 5. Tony comes to his senses about that Animal Blundetto and puts him down like he deserves. He also showed the makings of a varsity athlete by evading the cops. The only thing that would have been better is if Uncle Philly would have gotten his hands on that animal. I can't even say his name. Poor Billy was 47 years old. Just a kid. I always assumed that Tony ran off without saying anything because he might've thought John set him up. He gives John one last look before he runs off. I don't think it'd be so far fetched, having Johnny work with the feds to take down a constant problem for his New York family, at least in Tony's mind. The painting, him kind of looking like Napoleon, and him retreating through the snow and cold as Napoleon had to from Russia, made me think that this was when Tony was truly defeated. Without Johnny as a go between for Tony and the New York families, since the eon the bear, Russia, comes to his doorstep, meaning the safety he had is now gone. Looking at the agents behind Jonny and then looking at Jonny and just running without saying a word to warn him , classic.
