Also, couldn't one of his guards have picked Connie up instead of him doing it? Didn't he have other things to to??


Once Sonny was already in the City to visit Lucy it wouldn't have been too much of an issue to go visit Connie. The initial mistake was going into the city.

I guess Sonny could have bought her a car but Carlo would have just confiscated the keys anyway. And maybe buying another man's wife such a gift (even if she is your sister) would been seen by the Don as undue interference...

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
