[QUOTE=Lochdale]  
I doubt Phil is gay. Would be a needless plot-twist. He’s a homophobic killer but I think he hates Vito as much because he is with NJ as he does because he is gay. I think this was all a pretext to start a war with NJ.

Well, before this whole thing came out (pun unintended), Vito was Phil’s go-to guy/mole in Jersey, and fed him the ideas of grandeur in order to cause a bit of friction within the famiily, so it’s really just homophobia/family “honor” that drove him to kill Vito.

At least Johny Cakes gets his wish. Vito won’t call him again. Time to find his next acting gig.  
[/QUOTE]

Maybe not … what if Johny Cakes reads about it in the paper and gets all sentimental. He recruits his guy fireman buddies and they all go down and turn the NY/NJ mob families updside down making the world safe again. It could happen!
