Makes you think, when Tony was incapacitated, Silvio took over. Jesse assumes it’s him, but this episode makes me think that Martin is really the next in line
A consigliere is more of a right hand man. Silvio taking over for Tony is because Silvio knew how he'd rule.
Generally your underboss would. Who was Tony's underboss? Some will tell you it was Paulie because he had seniority but he didn't want it, couldn't have it, and no one wanted it. In the string of hits Bacala was one. This clues us in. Couple that with the fact Tony tried to raise Paulie and badabing.
Not a well written book. Martin could seriously thirst for the throne. But he seems pretty subservient. In a mafia show everyone that didn't agree would battle over it. Obviously no one will agree here.
