the entire Vito subplot was necessary (I don't agree it should have had such a long story arc, for the record) to show the contrast between his two worlds. Stay in quiet NH in a forced exile yet live the life he's been keeping in phil's closet all those years. Staying in NH would mean a life as an ordinary guy, hard work - but he'd be accepted as they guy he really was. or, he could back to Jersey and try to resume The Life. he'd be shun by his mob family, but have closer access to his real family. he chose The Life. obviously both locations had their ups and downs. the writers felt it was necessary to bludgeon us over the head with the other life he was living in NH. i think a quick 3 episode arc would have sufficed. one episode to show him fleeing Jersey. one episode to show his NH life, the 3rd and final episode to show him throwing caution to the wind and returning to certain death.
