The bottom line is that neither Jerome, Louie, nor Leon is as smart as Franklin. He even told them to their faces everytime they try to go out on their own they always end up coming back. Because Franklin is the man with the plan. Even when he screws up something, at least there’s THOUGHT put into it, so he can rebound.
Jerome wants to go off having fire fights when he gets angry.
Louie has already proven to be flighty. She left Jerome when shyt was getting real to go be with the Lesbian club owner. Then left HER and came back when shyt was getting too hot over there. Louie be on that fair weather shyt.
Leon is a soldier. A good soldier bit nothing more. He has terrible leadership skills and no forethought whatsoever.
Franklin so far is the only one that understands that them splitting up at this juncture isn’t necessarily unloyal, its just downright stupid. They all NEED each other and it can’t work with everybody “doing their own thing” because they’ve already proven that doing their “own” thing leads to nothing but trouble.
Great character summary, but I think Leon has gained some serious knowledge over the last season. Even going to Jerome to get assistance with Fatbacks people. The way he sat there with Franklin at the end and told him what to do with Louie and Jerome shows he's grown. He wants out, but I think he's going to move smarter and start plotting his exit.
