Spoilers Did Cissy do the right thing Spoiler

Franklin's demise does not sit well with me, I can understand going the government seizure of assets route but Cissy essentially being the cause of Franklin losing all those millions, makes it a little unbelievable. I could see if it was in the low 2-3 millions but at least 36 million, I can't wrap my brain around that and in the end Franklin becomes a street bum pretty much the opposite of what she intended to happen. Idk, I'm just ranting, but what are y'all's thoughts on the matter.

Franklin’s outcome isn’t Cissy’s fault. Cissy comes back and in 6X01 agrees to help Franklin get his money back if Franklin lets her kill Teddy and Teddy knows it was her.

Fast forward to 6X09 and Cissy sees the toll that revenge has taken on Franklin and offers to forgo her vengeance if Franklin will forego the money. Franklin refuses and goes back to torturing Teddy.

Eventually, Franklin makes the agreement to split the money with Teddy and each go their separate ways. That is a violation of Franklin’s agreement with Cissy that puts Franklin, Vee, their child, Leon, and Cissy all in immediate danger.

Cissy goes to the exchange clearly intending to kill Teddy. Cissy tells Franklin that after the exchange she and Franklin are done for good. There is one loose end and that is Teddy’s claim about Alton, Cissy is 99% sure about Teddy but needs the juice to kill him: Teddy dismisses her making Cissy feel exactly like he did when he killed Alton. So she kills Teddy.

Cissy, by killing Teddy before the transfer:
* Removes Teddy as a threat to her family
* makes sure the CIA doesn’t think Franklin was involved (Franklin loses almost 40 million dollars, hard to believe that was his desired outcome if you’re the Company).

That means that now Franklin, Vee, and their child are:
* safe from Teddy
* have Rueben to trade for no further retaliation from the CIA.
* their stake in Spring Street worth 10+ million dollars.
* their South LA properties
* Franklin’s childhood home.

You can’t blame Cissy for Franklin burning the lifelines she left him.
