SNOWFALL SEASON 6 EPISODE 10 BREAKDOWN & Easter Eggs (Season Finale)

[@GNEWSSS0]

Thoughts on the Snowfall ending???

[@buggyyuji851]

Like it

[@dtraversodt]

Far from what I predicted..but I like that Snowfall didn't repeat occurrences i.e Franklin and Louie ain't get shot again and Wanda stayed clean. Great ending and cautionary tale. Only thing wrong is I would have liked to see Parissa,before leaving, take out Julia(with twist being Teddy's son and her pregnancy were both actually by Havemeyer)

[@kwazonthetrackboi]

I thought that CIA officer got killed by the KGB agent

[@yvonneshelton2505]

Wanted Franklin to have a better outcome

[@seanburton6904]

We all know that guy.... Who had it back in the day and lost it and nobody remember s him. Smh

[@WarrenF19]

I found it funny how Franklin laughed at finding only $12K in the safe because that's the same amount that Avi told him to bring him back in S1E1 after flipping that first key; it shows how far he rose up to consider that to be nothing and how far he fell not to look at that as an opportunity for another come up.

[@GNEWSSS0]

Mannnn big facts

[@seanburton6904]

Facts bro

[@cakeonmykeys]

I keep thinking back to the start of the season where the whole issue starts over trying get to lower prices. The greed that started with Grady’s generosity and lowering prices to 10k turns into the cause of the whole empires falling. 12k ended up costing him a lot more than he thought.

[@rosemarywilkerson5742]

Y'all missed one. Y'all skipped right over it lol. The scene where Louie was hiding in the horse ranch. Louie LOVED to ride horses. Her getaway has now become her prison. She was at peace when she was riding horses, now she's afraid, filled with anxiety because the feds are after her. Go back to scenes where she was riding horses. She had security around her to protect her. Now the only security she has is the kind people that refused to give her up

SNOWFALL - snow forms when crystals form together in the sky. The weight of them together is what makes the snow fall. Snow, obviously referencing crack cocaine, is also a metaphor for success, and being at the top of the world. Franklin formed his crew and family together, and the weight of their success, individual problems, demons, and greed, is what made the snow fall down to the ground. For six seasons, we really watched snow form and fall. BRILLIANT SHOW

[@rosemarywilkerson5742]

Brilliant Summary, Thank You

[@jgraphicsAnimations]

Bro this is brilliantly put

[@shawnbrown4485]

@@jgraphicsAnimations thanks fam. The layered writing in this show was really good

[@jokrg]

Let’s not overlook the fact that LEON also looked like O.G. UNC with his Gheri Curl Fro and goatee, which I think reflected his O.G. Status and the promise that Jerome presented (for turning his life back around from Hard Crime and Hurting The Community) at the end of his life as he lamented his former change for the dark side. Here, Leon epitomized the best of Alton and Jerome combined in service to the neighborhood. Big ups to the writers and these actors. I was in L.A. during that time, and the energy of the closing scenes was palpable.

[@sanyatesGRIA]

Mmmmmmmm good point

[@fidelsixtos2781]

It’s implied that Leon looked up to Jerome as a Father figure just like how Jerome saw Franklin as his own son. Later to slap him in anger for sending shots at him then later on I think in the last interaction between Leon and Jerome, Jerome tells Leon “you ain’t family” and you could tell this hurt him a lot. So it makes sense for Leon to take after him as a Man.

[@gennsui]

Although the ending was sad, I loved it. He became a product of his environment. He despised his father so much for him being a alcoholic, ironically he became his father in the end. The foreshadowing throughout this series was done so perfectly. full circle moment

[@BigV828]

Product of the environment he created. It was brilliant how they tied it together and also bc that's how it ends for most in the life

[@chinokiid9097]

No one saw when Leon was walking to franklins house and the 3 kids were like “where you from?” Reminds me of how Leon, Kev, and Franklin were in season 1.

[@kieshtinthaplacetobe]

It was a very sad and tragic ending; but it was one of the best series finale. Damson needs an Emmy!

[@mwoods4608]

In some ways he turned into Teddy too. Cuz he became so obsessed with the mission nothing else mattered.

[@GNEWSSS0]

I agree!

[@dtraversodt]

Yup just like Teddy was a coke head and allowed Parissa(human version of cocaine) to make him feel invincible/euphoric until reality hit, Franklin on the flipside allowed his pursuit of the 73 million and money Peaches took (crack) to rob,hurt and kill those closest to him until destroying himself in process

[@8macvar]

@Dale Traverso yall act like that 73million wasn't his own money...alot of yall have a short term memory and are only judging Franklin off the last 2 or 3 episodes... Franklin literally forgot about peaches and the money he took, so much to the point he didn't even realize it was 5million... heput Top Notch on peaches after peaches and the money went missing but he really wasn't trippin that hard about it(which is another reason why he couldn't have been that greedy and consumed with money because he let that go and kept focus on his businesses and trying to go legit)

[@michelekelly6502]

My son made a good point 2. He said Teddy was on the phone with Parissa and not the bank. I bet Parrisa got some of that money!🤔🤔

[@dtraversodt]

@@8macvar I ain't forget that 73 million was his own money. Teddy to Franklin was much more dangerous than Peaches cause remember he still though t he was CIA until he found out otherwise

[@VonMiles-n9x]

I want to add to the scene with Franklin and Cissy's last encounter. He flipped out on her the same way he did in S2Ep10, when he went down for that murder charge after shooting Kevin. But in Season 2, instead of yelling at Cissy, he was showing his frustration towards Alton. Showing how furious he was at his father trying to FINALLY give him some fatherly advice after his lack of fatherly deeds in his childhood. This scene was so sad and brilliant because it toys with many opposites. Instead of Franklin behind bars, it's Cissy. (S2) Franklin snapped on Alton because he wanted to be a father at the wrong time and too late (S6Ep10) Franklin snapped on Cissy because she no longer wanted to be a mother at a time when he thought she should help the most/reconcile the mess she made. Also, instead of Franklin being dragged by two or three cops and escorted back into his cell (S2Ep10), he in (S6Ep10) is being dragged and escorted out of the jail. This scene was played very well, Damson shows the exact same charisma/anger as he did in Season 2, episode 10. Run back both of these scenes, and you'll see exactly what top tier acting looks like.

[@GNEWSSS0]

Good call back!!

[@iroznewr]

I have watched a few recaps of shows and yours is, by far, the best. You point out symbolisms and metaphors, you identify the music and how it ties in to the scene… you clearly do the research. No slight to other recaps which are one-dimensional and only scratch the surface. Kudos to ya!

[@Sparks2520]

Marc dark is ok

[@GNEWSSS0]

Thanks IROZNEWR!!

[@arma1096]

Totally agree.

[@Kingstyles05]

If you noticed it wasn't Franklin's pride that hurt him until the end, it was the people around him. Jerome and Louie had too much pride and wanted to take over for awhile but Franklin was too good. Now when they finally had leverage they took advantage. Sissy had so much pride in making Tedsy pay that she couldn't wait 10 more seconds to get her son back in the legal game they worked so hard for. Leon didn't have pride issues but he wasn't going to give all of his money to Franklin either. Teddy's pride is a big reason why he took Franklin's money and told him he would only give back half. Veronique had pride thinking to sell the stake instead of talking to Franklin about it 1st. She automatically assumed her way was the best way and didn't think that what Franklin did would work. Pride wasn't just with Franklin, it was strong in those around him.

[@GNEWSSS0]

Great point🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@imperialsaint3639]

Mind blowing💯

[@LDVenji]

I agree with everything you said But literally Veronique plan was indeed and in fact a far better plan than Franklins. Veronique is literally a business woman… that’s literally her field of play. Franklin might have built that building but she was the brain that was helping him keep it going. Was she wrong for doing it without his consent? Absolutely. But that’s how confident she was in her skills and I believe her because unlike Franklin, she was level headed the entire situation and cared for only Franklin and their kid.

[@cameog8441]

@@bcmoney5272 Saint has people that (still) cares about him as well. Let’s not forget Alton did sacrifice his whole family, i.e. choosing alcohol over his family, being on the streets for a number of years to where his child felt resentment. Also he killed his cousin, and thought he was doing something noble. There will always be hope for anybody really but I think in my opinion the issue with Franklin is that he can’t see the forest for the trees. Even Sissy said that Alton was loving, kind and compassionate. It seems thats something Saint lacked.

[@full3ffectpropaganda875]

[@michellehobson9760]

​​@@OkieDoaky I'm one of them who feel like he could've given him some, but not all. IJS

[@Tes7000]

It was truly crazy, because at that point, Franklin still had all of his properties, including the Spring Street property to sell. I don't think many viewers truly understood the actual scale of the Spring Street property. It was to be a skyscraper that would have taken tens of millions of dollars and years to finish. Leon's $3 million would have done nothing but postpone the inevitable, and seeing how delusional Franklin was about that property, Franklin would have let Leon lose all of his money in foreclosure rather than selling.

[@ljforever2355]

I totally agree with your theory that he shot the locksmith to stage the crime scene...I'm sure he dragged Peaches into the living room...this is one of the best series finales I can remember (like Breaking Bad from beginning to end...I was a fan)

[@GNEWSSS0]

Yup!! and thank you!!

[@Judah-144]

Franklin's biggest issue to me was not that he was prideful but that he was emotionally reactionary( He laid down his pride on multiple occasions). The ceiling for his emotions was not high and the pressures of leadership crushed him. If you go back to almost every conversation where he explodes or gets disrespectful (with the exception of the last season) he usually takes two shots to the chin before responding in a harsh way that we see, which doesn't seem to be his initial thinking pattern based on his body language. Damson's facial patterns( the head leaning to one side, the slight twitch in his face, and twitchy smile) and body language say to me that most of his worse reactions were the product of mounting pressures, him reacting and trying to hit back harder. Every other character had their own motivations, which were almost always not aligned with the betterment of the collective. Franklin sought out ways to build himself up and wanted to bring others along with him. Just think if Louie, Jerome, and Leon invested in the downtown business at the beginning of season 5 if things would've turned out how they did? In the end, Franklin clung to his pride because everyone else that he tried to help turned on him and that was all he had left. It's not easy for someone to have a plan and people they love constantly act to upend your plans. The money was a drug that calmed his nerves and when that was gone Franklin became unhinged. The pressure popped him. In the end, Franklin destroyed his community and countless others with the help of his family and they destroyed him.

[@bigdaddyblckable]

That's the realness. It started with family. Then complacency and greed. Started to creep in there.

[@Castro_3k]

Perfect! But!!!! I say this all the time no one wants to say it because when your thee boss,captain,big dog, you take all the hits responsibilities for the boat the deckhands ride alongs etc can jump off fail quit anytime whenever there ready cool no one care no problem. but once everything burns down it’s all on the boss he takes the biggest fall all fingers points towards him. His family loved the ride even down to sissy the so say “the secrete angel the so say sacrifice” for good 🙄! Yea right they all left him when he needed them the most (every single one!)of them!!! toke a piece of Franklin with them and from him until he had no more of himself left to give an left him. The simple old rules of life : they love you when you up an kick you when you down.. when the chips get low they will to…..

[@simbalesliechoto8663]

[@Empress969]

I don't like that nobody ever told Louie she started all of this. She barely admitted her greed to Jerome, but went right back to blaming franklin for all the wars after Jerome died. Louie snaked the family twice. Going to teddy & ordering the hit on kane . Thats the only reason franklin lost his money. The lsd made franklin call teddy tho & gave him a heads up

Snowfall has done what most great Movies or tv shows do… it keeps u intrigued even after its end, wanting more alternate scenarios and asking questions that we can only imagine the answers to in our minds.

[@8macvar]

The popular thing now is to say Franklin deserved what he got... but nah it wasn't that he was greedy, he was just trying to get back what was stolen from him.. before that he lived a pretty modest life for a man with over 78million (gotta remember preaches stole 5mill before teddy stole the 73million)... For most of the series Franklin still stayed in the hood (or close) and was wearing his regular jeans/slacks with his members only jacket. Yeah he had a plane but it was practical... other than that he lived pretty modestand made investments and saved (which led him to having 73million) he wasn't greedy at all..he wasn't taxin on the brick and he put everybody on and everybody was rich...he just wanted what was his... it's crazy to think someone is gonna take gettin got for 73million (in the 80s) and not do nothin or feel no type of way after you've had to (accidentally) kill kevin, go to jail and get your ass beat, your hs sweetheart get strung out, have to kill her dad because he was gettin dirty and too close, get shot multiple times by her, have to rehab yourself back to health,go to war with skully, then man boy, then kadeja, because you wouldn't give up Leon, then Kane, have to kill your friend because he became a liability, get 5million stolen by your security, your dad get killed by your plug, fall out with your aunt and uncle because LOUIE was greedy,and after allllll that have this white man take ALLLL your money would make that all had been for Nothin. Teddy started it Louie Stoked it and Cissy selfishly solidified his fait. Cissy didn't kill Teddy to save Franklin because she coulda been did that when they had him tied up... the beginning of the season she was with Franklin gettin back at teddy and Louie for crossing him... Franklin stayed true to his mission. Cissy and everybody else kept flip flopping on what they wanted to do and how they felt... sissy wanted to feel a tone and be a martyr and selfishly put her son back at square zero again... Franklin was going to get his money get out of the game like he intended and focus on his real estate developments... he wasn't being greedy for money , he was staying true to his end goal plan.. yeah this is long but it's just irritating keep hearing the narrative that Franklin was greedy over money because people are just surface-level thinking and following popular opinion.

Pride by k dot is a very fitting outro because that’s also what kept him poor after it all came crashing down. This man had 3 years to get back on his feet ! He couldnt get back into the game some how in all that time? Why he ain’t try to go to skully ? Or work his way back but accept he can be the man for now ? It’s pride. His pride is what kept him from getting a regular job. He made a fortune in a short amount of time there was no way he could comfortably go back to being a civilian. He wanted It all and he intended to get it his way. It was all or nothing. He chose to live a bum life forever rather than that go back to his old life. Pride destroyed him

For me 3 things fucked Franklin. 1) his mama 2) his bitch 3) his blinding love for money. Which begs the question why he was too trusting with it. Franklin was willing to kill ANYONE for his money which made him think no one would every try to take it.

[@miamiles7996]

It was sad to see Franklin got out like that but at the same time he said he was finally “free”

[@GNEWSSS0]

Yup!!

Free from having to answer to CIA or anyone else ...but yeah slave to vice like alcohol and likely drugs down the line cause unlike Alton he no longer has a Cissy in his life to motivate him

You also forgot to mention that when he visited her for the second time she could tell he's drunk just like his father, not only that but Frank also said he paid for that house, just like his dad, and it's the second time around to see her hinting that history repeats itself, she won't never get out of the situation she's end, meaning nothing will ever change

[@yseson_]

They should do a sequel where an Overweight Corrections officer becomes a famous rapper calling himself SnowFall aka Frank Saint. And an older Franklin sees it and loses his shit

[@inandoutofreal1ty]

One more you may have missed, in the last episode at Cissy’s trial Franklin is wearing a gray Members Only jacket, the same one Tony’s alleged killer wore in the last ep of Sopranos

[@GNEWSSS0]

awwww good catch!

[@michellehobson9760]

Saint had been wearing the member's only jacket. He wore a tan one in season 5 as well.

[@theclintonvance]

Damn. Really liked this review, especially what you said toward the end, about Leon and Franklin being two Altons. The series ending, I think, was great and fitting. Happy that Leon, Wanda, Cissy and Oso made it out. Franklin too, all things considered. Hoping that, like Alton, somewhere down the line, Franklin is given an opportunity to turn his life around. But I guess him staying like that could be considered a fitting punishment for what he’s done.

[@GNEWSSS0]

Thanks for watching Clinton 🙏🤝💯

[@justblamedave]

So awesome! ❤This was such a great review! I got more out of this after watching the finale. Leon and Oso! Wow! I heard you say “spin-off.” Seriously?!? Yes! Can’t wait.

[@GNEWSSS0]

This means a lot thank you!

[@brendank]

Pointing out the bookshelves, so true. That scene where Leon asks Franklin if he's read the book he gave him. We know how much Leon respects and uses books because he took that shit back, it's probably on that shelf Also I was thinking the same thing about framing miguel

[@GNEWSSS0]

Yup you right it prob is on one of the shelves! Thanks for watch Brendan!

[@khadejahlittle7621]

I don’t think the 36 mil was real that Ted was going to transfer. Cissy saw how he lied about Alton to get out of torture so she shot him before he set Franklin up.

[@bea7484]

Teddy was lying, he had already handed the money over to the CIA. But, I guess we'll never know for certain.

[@maniac50ae14]

I wondered that too but if that was the case, he would have just offered it all... the CIA does in fact train their agents to be able to see what people want most and offer it in turn for working with them, so its not a crazy thought

[@Nique1991]

They did Franklin wrong his mom didn’t want him to have that money, Leon left him for dead, Vee robbed him, Unc and his wife tried to steal the connect, not to mention peaches stealing. They all left him from dead completely he should’ve left them when he got put on I’m sorry he was too loyal to all of them

[@HandMeDeals]

Facts leon could have threw the nigga 500k.

[@dtraversodt]

I think Teddy and Peaches both were set on stealing money since both got shot in Season 5/Season 4 and got PTSD considering they both were addicts that been in wars. Franklin to them became a liability.

[@Nique1991]

@@dtraversodt agreed. Everyone said Franklin got greedy at the end but I don’t see it like that at all that man helped all of them and in my opinion that stabbed him in the back I would’ve fought for my money too. Just to turn away and give up something I worked for. He definitely panicked and thought he had all these lifelines and got fu$ked SMH that ending was unexpected

[@MissMFinDaniels]

Yea but thats the thing don't nobody owe nobody nothing if they helped u or not. N he was too like aggressive with everyone after a certain point. Dont nobody wanna deal with that

[@Nique1991]

@@MissMFinDaniels yeah but he should’ve left them behind he was warned by so many people what was going to happen

[@Becauseimme]

LA is funny like that, you could have done a lot of dirt in LA and run off to the IE, San Bernardino, Fontana Moreno Valley, Victorville and Monrovia and hide in plain sight. That’s where most people from LA hid out. And now that’s where most of the Black folks live, in Southern California.

[@GNEWSSS0]

😂😂

[@thadtap3716]

It was totally a different ending than I thought would happen. Nevertheless, I thought, while sad and tragic, it was very fitting. I wanted to be in Franklin's corner but every time I tried I thought about those who I lost because of the crack trade back in the day. I know that the government set all that up but we did not have to just give in to the trap. But that is a story for another time. I digress. I hope they do not make a spin off with Franklin because I think the way it ended should just be left the way it is. I did enjoy the show immensely and will miss it as well.

Excellent Review! I really enjoyed this Series, will miss it very much. The ending was perfect not the norm, Franklin did become his Father which gives him a chance to become sober & rebuild his life( with Leon’s help) of course. 😮If he went to prison he probably wouldn’t make it out intact (age) & he didn’t get killed in the end!

[@blackluxury5585]

Cissy did say she would go with Franklin to make sure he doesn’t get killed when he drops off teddy and after that she would never speak to him again and I guess she meant it

Great breakdown! Just wanted clarification on something I missed. Why didn't Franklin end up selling the property that Veronique was testing to see how much they could get for it? I know when it showed 3 months later after he got mad at her for it, he was struggling to make the payments.

[@Sensofye]

Mom wouldn’t sign the papers remember

[@Tes7000]

Franklin was delusional and in a state of psychosis. The Spring Street property was a symbol for everything wrong with Franklin's perspective. There was no logical reason for letting the property go into foreclosure. Franklin didn't have the tens of millions of dollars it would have taken to finish the project, and Veronique was correct to sound out Mr. Davis about an offer, but Franklin foolishly prioritized the Spring Street property over all of his other properties. Ironically, Franklin still had the Spring Street property to sell when he pulled a gun on Leon to take Leon's $3 million and when he asked his mother to deed her house over to him. It was crazy.

[@Tes7000]

@@Sensofye You are thinking about Cissy's house. The original question was about to Spring Street property.

[@BrownGalPeace1]

Excellent breakdown! I watched the season finale twice and still didn’t catch all the Easter eggs you mentioned. Although the ending was tragic, it was realistic and masterfully done. Many of the kingpins and o.g.’s of the past, allowed their greed to be their ultimate demise. Many became a slave to the rock they pushed to the community. Franklin just became a slave to the bottle, similar to Alton. This show will go down in history as the best series of all time. 👑💪🏽
