If Franklin is Prometheus, bringing fire to Compton in the form of rocked-up cocaine, then Louie is Icarus, flying too close to the sun.
has followed Franklin’s transformation over the years, Louie’s journey paralleled his, also turning her into a full-blown anti-hero. When we first met Franklin, with his backpack and naïve decision-making, Louie encouraged him to move beyond dealing weed to the coke game. Louie convinced Jerome to help his nephew after he made it clear that dealing with coke brought nothing but trouble.
The conversation between Jerome and Louie ends in a stalemate, with Louie asking for more time to sort her shit out with Teddy and get access to their money in Panama. Jerome agrees to do one last drop with Teddy while Louie gets her mind right, but makes it clear that, regardless, he’s leaving. Everyone is starting to make plans for their safety and their future as the ripple effects of the last few episodes continue.
Now that his plan to get the KGB out of the picture is in motion, Teddy confides in Parissa that the next step is killing Franklin. But, as usual, Franklin is a step ahead. Since he essentially declared war on Teddy after killing his elderly father, Franklin sits down with those closest to him to decide how to move forward. Cissy, sick of all this shit, again refuses to live in hiding, so Leon steps up to keep an eye on her and protect her.
As if the brandings weren’t enough to evoke the darkest ways Black women have been persecuted, Kane organizes a group rape of Louie. He handles tormenting Louie differently than he would a male counterpart, making it a point to show her that he sees her as nothing more than a Black bitch. A redbone, to be exact. The branding was eerily reminiscent of antebellum practices on Black women, but the planned sexual assault took things over the edge.
