No, this doesn’t include maybe, I don’t know, seeking therapy and seeing his child. Teddy is also trying to clean up the mess he made since we last saw him. ![]() Honoring their pact to give up everything if one of them lost their life, Dallas takes their kids and flees, leaving Franklin with an even smaller circle of allies. Jerome’s violence toward Black Diamond is jarring - he beats her unconscious, the internal bleeding leading to her eventual death in the hospital. The girls don’t know, as Franklin refuses to tell anyone the location. He beats Black Diamond repeatedly, asking where Franklin keeps the product. He shows up with LAPD and stops Dallas and Black Diamond after the drop with Deon. Intentionally throwing salt on Jerome’s wound, Louie tells Jerome how Franklin pulled a gun on her, causing Jerome to abandon his soft spot for his nephew. Jerome reaches out to Franklin one more time, demanding his money back, but Franklin blatantly refuses and hangs up on his uncle, which is an official declaration of war. When Deon tells Jerome that he’s copping from Franklin, Jerome and Louie arrange an interception of the drop, taking advantage of Buckley’s ties to the LAPD. ![]() Once Franklin is able to talk to Kane himself, Kane demands that Franklin get back at the people involved in his shooting, adding one more thing to Franklin’s to-do list. Ricky informs him that Kane has been sedated again, but that doesn’t keep Franklin from offering to provide product in Leon’s absence, stating that messing with Jerome and Louie’s business is the best way to get back at them. Next, he goes to the hospital to speak with Kane. Franklin arranges for Dallas and Black Diamond to make the drop later in the day, instructing Deon to tell Jerome he got a better deal. A true man about his business, Deon is candid about his lack of loyalty to anyone and agrees to buy at the lower price, but emphasizes that he’s not interested in being tied up in the family drama. Franklin obviously ignores him, busy trying to secure back his clientele, starting with Deon. Left with no product to distribute for upcoming drops, no money to buy more product, and no warehouse to facilitate business, Jerome calls his nephew. Snowfall’s resident Bonnie and Clyde are reeling from Franklin’s retaliation. ![]() He puts a quarter million dollar bounty on Peaches, promising an additional finders fee, and asks Top Notch to look into information about Teddy’s family. Veronique, against her better judgment, agrees to use her contacts in Miami to clean the money but urges Franklin to make it right with his uncle (not that Franklin is in the right state of mind even to consider this option). His plan of action is to clean the money, regain his clientele by offering lower prices than Jerome and Louie, enact revenge against Teddy and Peaches, and return to focusing on the real estate plans. Still believing there is a chance to eventually get out of the game with his riches in tow as he rides off into the sunset with Veronique and the baby, he turns to the mother of his child for help cleaning the money he stole. Season six picks up immediately after Franklin’s violent play, and we find out that he made off with $3.4 million in cash and product and is determined to rebuild his empire. Franklin went fully Machiavellian and, with the help of Dallas and Black Diamond, goes on a murder spree at Louie and Jerome’s clubs to steal their coke and their money. At the end of season five, Franklin’s world came crashing down when Teddy wiped out his bank account and Jerome and Louie officially broke off on their own. This declaration from Cissy to Franklin at the end of the premiere succinctly sums up the energy Snowfall’s final season is ushering in. And fuck the government that supported them.
