If nature abhors a vacuum, Mafia abhors vacuums more. Can't just leave the Corleone empire and Immobiliare adrift. And Vincent wasn't anointed as "Don Corleone" so he could walk away from all that just because Mary died and Michael lost heart. Possible logical sequence: Vincent pursues Corleone investment in Vatican bank and control of Immobiliare. But Vincent can't do it alone. He enlists Anthony, who realizes he can't escape his destiny (and has his opera career nipped in the bud because of the scandal attached to his debut in Palermo). So, with Vincent's Sonny-like muscle and Anthony's years in law school, they soldier on. Connie becomes de facto consigliere.
Hmm sounds like a Puzo script from the GF Companion
