I may be wrong, but I think Fredo knew the family rules, after all. He was stupid but not to the point that he really believed his betrayal was forgiven. I suppose he felt safe until Carmela was alive and then as long as Anthony was around. But that very time when Anthony was not allowed to go fishing with him, I believe Fredo felt something was going to happen.

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
