When Levy was talking to Herc I was expecting, for a moment, a GodFather II like scene where Levy would say "I know it was YOU, you're dead to me now!" Instead his affection seemed genuine...found that perplexing.
If Marlo tries to even run one corner I would suspect the remaining guys in the CoOp will take him out PDQ lest he get allusions of grandeur. Either them or some random young sociopath like the one who shot Omar.
Also the CoOp's not going to tolerate a would-be Omar robbing them, they'll do whatever it takes to kill Michael ASAP. Regardless of his actions he's still just a 15 year old boy, not nearly as wily as Omar was in his prime.
