Patsy is in paulie's crew after he was brought over from junior's crew in season 2, and paulie would be one of the few who would know that patsy's son is dating meadow, so albie reaches out to paulie and they reach a deal; paulie talks to patsy who talked to his son and they see an opportunity, they send a guy on short notice to the dinner and there you go.
Interesting take on Patsy- especially because he's never gotten over his twin getting clipped.
But if his son was going to marry Meadow, then he would just have to look at Christopher and Bobby to see how fast "relatives" move up in the family. It would have been better for Patsy to get into the inner circle through marriage.
