 He is still an informant for Franklin, although this relationship is complicated when Paul Carvalho, (the Portuguese politician Tommy set up for bribery charges in Season II) talks to the authorities and Jack Boyle gets Freddie released from prison.With Freddie out, Michael knows that Freddie will contract Nozzolli to kill Michael, so Michael attempts to set Nozzolli up in a scheme to sell HGH from a local dentist.This plan backfires when the dentist is busted by the DEA, and Michael, furious that Franklin did not warn him, makes Franklin "disappear".
