It makes Artie and Charmaine’s last scene with Tony and Carmela so satisfying. They’re back together, the restaurant has recovered, their kids are doing well, etc. And Tony is trying to be the sadclown while Carm is just openly insulting her children to try and save face.

"But does compassion come naturally to her? Does patience? I'm not sure."

Even Tony's giving her a look.

Meadow taking the lamp back to school is just another instance of her "saving" Tony.

The Feds would've had him dead to rights on tape shortly after, if Meadow hadn't taken the lamp.

I enjoyed that whole subplot. One of many cases of sheer dumb luck saving Tony's rear end.

Probably not at her house, but I wouldn't be surprised if Livia had it and denied herself accessing it much and thus giving herself justification to being a miserable faccia brutta. Livia did clearly have a lot of expensive stuff she liked foisting off on relatives to make them feel indebted to her.

I just started season 2(another rewatch, not my first time) and I'm pretty sure the first time she brings it up is when Janice is talking about moving her out of the actual nursing home, not the RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. Janice is repeatedly looking at the 'use stairs in case of fire sign' and picturing as the stick figure Livia falling down the steps during the conversation. I think it's her just knowing Janice is up to something and this is another way for her to pull puppet strings, probably knowing that even after Livia is gone that Janice will never stop looking and be kind of haunted by the thought of trying to find another big easy pay day. I don't think she really had anything stashed or hidden away.

I think in a scene before the conversation above, Livia starts eating a meal and complains to the nurse something like "how do they expect me to eat this tapioca pudding? can you get me some strawberry ice cream?" and it looks like the pudding is all gross and congealed or something. Then Janice walks in and Livia immediately offers Janice the pudding. Made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, any money Livia got would have been spent over the decades, but she brought it up as a possibility when she realized the power that Janice now held over her, as a way of burrowing a brainworm into her head that would keep her from just dumping Livia into some lovely rest home (not a retirement community) somewhere. That ploy worked, and Janice never realized it was just one more example of her mother playing mindgames with her.

Junior's dementia meant he remembered hiding money away at points, but it's money that he probably then later retrieved and spent (likely decades earlier) but in his addled mind, it's stuff he only just popped away a few weeks/months ago. I don't think Tony really believes he had a stash of cash piled away, but on the very slim off-chance that he did (and he remembers where it was) he reminds him that the money should go to Janice if only because of Bobby and the kids.
