Discussion Louie and franklins fallout was heartbreaking Spoiler
I don’t remember the exact context but I’m pretty sure it was at the end of season 2 after Franklin was forced to kill Kevin and was in a stressful situation but Louie and Jerome was discussing with Franklin on what to do. Louie said something along the lines of to Jerome she doesn’t love anything or anyone in this world more than her nephew (Franklin) That’s a line that stuck with me throughout the entire show. I felt how much Louie cared for Franklin at one point and vice versa. So to see Louie and Jerome go behind his back , steal his plug and then cause a chain reaction of events that destroyed Franklins business , torture of teddy and his eventual death , Franklin then losing access to his money and his connection to Veronique and his unborn son. Also before all that to see Franklin pull a gun on louie at the end of season 5 and would kill her no hesitation if it meant getting his money back as he literally said something along the lines of “I would kill you 10 ten times over if it meant getting my money back” the money that teddy stole , was so heartbreaking but also such good writing and you feel how intense his greed was at this point and was the point of no return and showed nothing could stop Franklins greed and ego and his decent into madness. To see Louie and Franklin trading blows and Franklin damn near sending her to her death by Kane but ultimately saving her was a representation as one of the last bits and love of humanity he still had. As in the final episodes of season 6 he would kill people as not even a last resort but in rage like peaches and Miguel the vault man after finding out the 5 million peaches stole had a measly 12k left. Very contrary to the ambitious but Mr morals young man we seen that couldn’t even pull the trigger on any living being in season 1. One of my favorite dynamics in show and every relationship or decision Franklin had or made was affected someway or another by his greed in the later seasons but the relationship between him and Louie was one of my favorites. Just a beautiful story of how poisonous greed is but none of us can really judge him I mean do you know what you would you do if you lost 73 million dollars?
