=== Andrew Morrissey ===
While the two seem to work together well enough, it is shown that Andrew is annoyed by Lionel, and Lionel hated Andrew due to him confessing to Thomas's role in Jonathan's death. Their relationship reaches the point of no return when Andrew betrays both him and Frank by killing Frank. Eventually, after Lionel gets Gabriel and Brock captured, Andrew is infuriated and attacks Lionel, and berates him for the deaths he caused. When Lionel makes an offensive comment about Andrew's son, Andrew is enraged and attempts to attack him again, and is satisfied when Lionel is kicked out.
It is unknown how Andrew felt about Lionel's death, but it's likely that he didn't care.
=== Frank ===
As the two work together well, it is likely they have a good relationship, and judging from Lionel's reaction to Frank's death, it reaffirms their relationship.
=== Quentin Dubois ===
Lionel and Quentin are shown to have an incredibly poor relationship due to Lionel being one of Thomas's cronies and also raiding and kidnapping Quentin. However, after Quentin puts up a brief fight, Lionel is noticeably impressed. Despite this, their relationship fails to improve, as Lionel blames Quentin for the events that follow at Rock Hill, and eventually Lionel gains a strong hatred towards Quentin after Quentin kicks out Lionel. Lionel later attempts to exact revenge and rejoin Rock Hill, but Quentin is able to trick him and proceeds to shoot him in the genitals. Quentin then escapes, showing he doesn't regret his actions.
