SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to do a speculation thread but this is all I can think about! Sil said in the “next time piece” that someone has been playing both sides. I can’t decide if Little Carmine would classify as playing both sides. Since it should be inferred that at the end of the day he has almost got to still be on Phil’s side. Please share your thoughts.
Re: Who is playing both sides?
2There is a rat in the higher levels of New York. Who else would have gotten word to Harris that Tony or somebody near him was in danger. I am betting its the fat consigliari who never says anything. Butchie just whacked somebody and the feds would never allow that. Phil isn't a rat. It could be one of the other cronies, but no one else seems to have enough access to Phil.
or is Paulie playing both sides?

Re: Who is playing both sides?
3It's not Paulie. Tony Sirico asked that a clause be in his contract stating that they never write in the story line that his character be a rat.
I think it's Carmine.

Re: Who is playing both sides?
4First, we have no idea that "playing both sides" is even reffering to someone being a rat.
I think it could also be that someone from Tony's crew is trying to gain favor with New York by giving them information, etc. Paulie was doing exactly this in season 4, when he was talking to John so frequently. Paulie figured that New York would put him in place as boss with Tony out of the picture.

Re: Who is playing both sides?
6my first thought was Sil was saying that to Tony about giving the FBI information on the Arabs, but I wonder if the comment could be directed at Carmine. I think he was setting Tony up to be hit and Phil decided against it with his "cooler heads prevailed" comment to Carmine about the meeting.
Re: Who is playing both sides?
7I'm thinking it's Paulie, skimming from both sides on the construction project.
Could be, however, an FBI agent, one who funnels (through Agent Harris) some intel so Tony is aware a hit is coming down.
Pure speculation, of course.

Re: Who is playing both sides?
8What if it's Bobby? First about the NY closeness- why did he even sit right NEXT to Phil, half hidden in the classic Sopranos chiaroscuro meaningful shadow.
Perhaps some people came from NY to Johnny Sack's house. Even if it's in Jersey, there might be some who could have a righteous claim on that.
Or maybe it's the FBI. We never saw Puss arrested, it was only told later that he had been a rat because of a previous arrest. What if Bobby got soon pinched after his french killing in the first episode?
And instead of Chris, he is the family member to T so he could be the next subject of attention...

Re: Who is playing both sides?
9I agree, Focker. They keep mentioning that Carlos is either late or absent from meetings, etc., so I think there has to be something to that.
Re: Who is playing both sides?
10Yeah, I'd say Carlo as well. Why make a moment out of annoucing that he is late for no reason? Everything happens in this show for a reason.
And in last year's "Cold Stones", Sil is talking to Carlo - the only other crew member around at the time - about the discovery of "rat turds". Hm ...
