Michael was unhappy with the chain of events: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" and was incapacitated in his kitchen with a diabetic stroke (when he called in agony for Fredo), so Vincent ran the criminal business, ultimately becoming Michael's reigning 'godfather' heir in exchange for permanently promising to end his tempestuous "dangerous" affair with Mary - his own cousin.

Michael had reached a semi-reconciliation with Kay and his estranged non-criminal son Anthony (Franc D'Ambrosio) (who aspired to be an opera singer rather than a lawyer), although Michael was still very close with daughter Mary Corleone (Sofia Coppola).

In the opening scene set in NY, an aging 60s-ish Michael received the Order of San Sebastian from the Catholic Church at St. Consigliere and adopted brother Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) was now dead, replaced by BJ Harrison (George Hamilton), and the Lake Tahoe compound was in disrepair, as Michael had moved out of the casino business.
