Junior holding a pussy cat in his lap was very intentional.

I think this is the last we see of him -- although I think A.J. takes another shot at taking him out.

A couple "Godfather" homages: the shot to the eye which kills Doc (Moe Greene) and the Family Boss going to a sunny vacation location to visit a trusted, wheelchair-bound old family friend (Don Tomassino) and asking his counsel and advice.

The Miami setting, and the perky wife coming out to serve sandwiches to the Old Boss and the Young Boss while they talked business, was a little reminiscent of the Hyman Roth scenes.
