My theory on HJ turning LaVonte is mostly that LaVonte was a business partner/retainer so efficient that HJ had to turn him (LaVonte now perpetuates this grind or die mindset onto Tyler).

Maybe LaVonte rocked up to a business meeting with HJ in the 1980s like: you are leaving money on the table and I could get it for you, all these other guys, they're ancient, they're stuck in the past, they'd never give me a chance and they'll never take the opportunities they need to make it rich. I could make you rich. If you fund my startup. How else could Worthy and Wingstreet happen? HJ has money, sure, access, sure, fame, plenty, cocaine, abundantly, but he's not persuasive. He doesn't have good business sense. He has no leadership. Wingstreet Industries wouldn't have made it. And yet LaVonte is the one pulling the moves, the one with more resources, the one who has an actual retainer even though HJ also has two dots in retainer.

So maybe back in 1980, HJ thinks, yeah, you'll be the brains and the face but I'll be the name, the generation(al wealth), the patron to your artist. Maybe to a Black man in 1980 this seemed like the only way to make it. LaVonte starts the series with debts (HJ doesn't). The Camarilla is extremely hierarchical, society is racist, here is an opportunity to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and HJ is the man who can make that happen who can ensure that LaVonte's hard work actually pays off.

So HJ Embraces LaVonte.

Except now they're in Purpee where HJ's name doesn't mean anything, his connections don't mean anything, LaVonte saved them from execution by the Camarilla with only his Presence, and the man who's been his partner suddenly doesn't have anything else to offer. It's Worthy Industries now. HJ buys him a basil plant and LaVonte realizes he's on his own.

Dimension 20: City Council of Darkness | Episode 6 "The Sunday Scoop and Spirits"

[haleyusesherwords]

Enjoying the group dynamic of City Council of Darkness so far, because obviously our Superheroes Murph and Emily are attached at the hip. And Ally and Lou have truly perfected the Codependent, Emotional Support, Dumbass, Bonded Pair of Coworkers energy they’ve got going on.

And those are great pairings, don’t get me wrong

But it ALSO means, at some point this season, Zaeth and the Countess are going to get paired up together

And I have never been more confident in 2 characters ability to stumble headfirst into a side quest ending in utter chaos

The rest of the City Council of Darkness: So did you guys finish your task in town?

Zaeth and Madeline:
