In the 2nd episode of the second season, members of the DiMeo family are seen breaking up a protest being led by Reverend Herman James Jr. (I think that's his name) at the behest of Massarone. Later we see Tony discussing "business" with the Reverend when we find out that the Reverend's father died. Could someone explain to me what was going on between Tony and the Reverend, I was and still quite confused by that.

Thanks.
