In “Blue Comet”, written by Matthew Weiner and David Chase and
directed by Alan Taylor, will play out like this:
Silvio finds out from a cop-contact of his that Paulie has flipped,
and that it happened off-screen, shortly before season 6b started. He
tells Tony about it at the Bing, followed by a long conversation about
how they are going to handle the situation. This is what is meant by
“He’s playing both sides of the fence” from the previews. Tony reveals
to Silvio that he was considering killing Paulie on the boat in
“Remember When”, and regrets not doing it when he had the chance.
Silvio gives Tony a weird look because he’s not sure why Tony would
have wanted to kill Paulie, since he hadn’t known he flipped, he
wouldn’t have had any other good reason. This leads to an argument, in
which Silvio begins questioning Tony’s leadership and the amount that
he cares about looking out for his crew. Tony explodes, and ends up
hitting Silvio. Silvio turns back around and hits Tony, and as Tony
falls backwards, Silvio realizes what he’s done and runs out of the
Bing.
Phil decides to retaliate for the fight Tony had with Coco. He says
that his decision is to take out Tony’s crew one by one.
Bobby does in fact get killed in front of the model train store just
as many other spoilers have reported. This is where the episode title
comes from. However, his son is not with him.
AJ escapes from the mental facility by jumping out of a window into a
dumpster. However, he lands awkwardly and sprains his ankle. He starts
calling for help, and nurses from the facility come out and have to
help him back in to the building.
There’s a scene with the Feds in which they are talking about LCN and
one is talking about Paulie Walnuts coming in handy in their case
against Tony. The other agent corrects him, say that it is actually
Carlo that they flipped recently. The other cop is stunned, but he
never gets a chance to get back to Silvio with the truth ….
Tony gets a call from Silvio on his cell, who is calling to ask for
forgiveness. Tony had a Melfi scene in which he realized Silvio might
have been right in his opinion of Tony, and is no longer really mad at
Sil. Tony tells him to meet him at the Bing to talk, and that they
can’t let their feud distract them from taking care of Paulie, who
will be a big problem. Tony is late getting to the Bing because
Carmella calls him to say that there’s something wrong with AJ, and so
Tony has to meet her at the hospital first.
Silvio gets to the Bing and is confronted by two hit-men that were
hired by Phil. Having never seen the killers before, he is shot dead
believing that he was actually set up by Tony. Patsy comes out as the
murder takes place, and is caught off guard. The hit-men think they
must now kill Patsy too, but he manages to narrowly escape on foot.
I’m told the scene at the hospital is very emotional, as AJ begs to
come home and Carmella tells him that she can’t take all his nonsense
anymore, and that she can’t emotionally handle it.
Tony stops by the Bing and when he learns what happened he quickly
leaves, afraid he will be in danger too. At home, he gets a call from
Janice that Bobby was shot dead. He tells Carm, who breaks down and
cries again – Between AJ and Bobby, we see her really begin to lose it
in this episode.
The episode closes at Silvio’s wake. Patsy is there and has told Tony
what happened. They are also talking about Bobby. The rest of his crew
is there at the service to, trying to get Tony to start a war with
Phil and retaliate. Tony just stands there in silence. At the end of
the episode, he sees some flowers that were sent with a card on it
from the FBI. Tony looks thoughtfully at the card as the scene fades
out, and we’re left to wonder if that’s the only place left for Tony
to turn.
I read this one as well. Sounds very accurate. I for one will miss
Baccala. He's a criminal and murderer like the rest, but there is the
innocence of children in the hobby of collecting model trains.
Some trivia courtesy of Wikipedia: The "Blue Comet" was a passenger
train operated by the Central Railroad of New Jersey which ran between
Atlantic City and Jersey City from 1929 to 1941.

Damn right. It looks very plausible. That's a sweet find.
And don't forget recently losing Christopher, too. Carm really took a
hit with that one.

Perhaps, the immediate Soprano family... Tony, his sister, Carm, AJ,
Meadow will be the only ones left for the final scene.
Maybe Fourth of July fireworks scene.

What I like about it is the twists. Tony and Silvio think Walnuts is
the rat. Then we find out it's really Carlo, but Silvio dies before
his police informant can tell him that. And Silvio dies thinking that
the hitmen that are shooting him were sent by Tony. So we go into the
last episode with T and Paulie as basically the last men standing, and
T thinks Paulie is working for the feds, which would probably be
curtains for Paulie in the finale. Sounds really interesting to me.
If this is a fake, then the writer has better ideas than the real
David Chase has had in years.
....Just so long as they don't hurt Meadow, I'll be ok.
And Carmella should live, too....
What I want to know is, why the hell do people take the time to make
this shit up??? This "spoiler" turned out to be almost 100% horseshit,
and the small parts that were actually somewhat accurate were lucky
guesses.

Hmmm, it makes you wonder if some of these things originate in the
press office of Chase Productions...
These speculative, but off-base, scenarios certainly keep the faithful
interested while insuring their complete surprise.
