Being a Black woman isnt easy, and being a Black woman in the drug game isnt any easier.
It took breaking up with Jerome in the earlier seasons even to gethimto see her as his equal.
Even though shes sitting on the throne, she realizes that her gender is still holding her back.
Jerome asks if all of this is worth dying over, and Louie replies that her self-worth is.
Sadly, I think Louie will play back this moment for the rest of her life.
He becomes increasingly emotionally untethered between his dads death and knowing the KGB and DEA are on his tail.
But thats not enough to keep Teddys ruthlessness at bay.
Then he weaponizes the happy ending he himself proposed by threatening to out Ruben if he doesnt comply.
But, as usual, Franklin is a step ahead.
They kidnap her and hold her hostage so Kane can terrorize the person who put him in the hospital.
It gets dark fast.
Theres the usualSnowfallviolence, but soon things take a turn, making it particularly hard to watch.
A redbone, to be exact.
I wonder if this level of violation was even necessary; the brandings couldve been sufficient on their own.
Kane holds Louie to his chest with a gun to her head, daring Jerome to make a move.
Kane falls to the ground, and Louie rushes over to her husband.
He will be missed.

Leon has become somewhat of a peacemaker and community leader now that hes back from Africa.
With a more enlightened mind-set, hes making moves to improve life for everyone.
Parissa and Teddys little fling annoys me.
I dont know what will fulfill Teddy, but this self-loathing act is growing tired.
An earlier version of this recap confused the characters of Buckley and Teddy.
It has been corrected.
