Rita has been working for the Saints since H.S. She knows the business. She's lacking the formal schooling but she learned it through many years of OJT. She is capable.

Her demeanor on the other hand, a documented rift in the organization is what brought it to this impasse. This is shaping into a feud between women more than one between a father and daughter. Benson already stated family members would be taken care of so it's not about money. This is a power grab for all the loot. The wife wants it. Rita wants it. Benson's loyalty is to his wife. That's how I see it.

see demeanor is what is key. blanket statements need to be explained.

rift is what.

she wants an inexperienced person to keep their nose out of the saints?

Rita is drinking on the job and totally out of hand?

one hates the city and the other likes it?

this is what i hope gets cleared up because so far all i hear is gossip and assumptions

I'm script writing here. This is candy for the trailer!
