It's ridiculous. I knew they would do it this way though. It's exactly how this regime handled Cyrus, etc. with kid gloves just so Frank could keep the actors he liked on the show (while also writing terrible, ineffectual stuff for poor Jeff Kober) and made both sides of the canvas look weak for not dealing with each other.
It also betrays FV, CVE, etc.'s fundamental discomfort with mob stories in general over the years. They just aren't good at it or excited by it. Not that I mind that per se - I think the recent refocus from the mob to the WSB is potentially more interesting long-term, particularly if Jason ends up there which I think they've flirted with before. But the actual WSB saga they are telling onscreen, with these boring dayplayers like Cullum and Pascal, tedious recurring characters like Jack and Sidwell and annoying returnees like Britt and Cassius (to say nothing of Joss and Valentin), really really stinks.
I don't mind that doddering Sonny is now taking his cues from Lucas and Laura - I kind of find it hilarious and such a sea change from the Guza era. But it's still such a ridiculous, awkward storyline.
