![]() Leon Loved Cissy Like A Mother, And She Loved Him Like A Son It was never a one-man show for Franklin and it’s unfortunate that he forgot that at his lowest point. Leon, Veronique, and Cissy helped him in different and important ways. What he did forget is that he didn’t receive all these things through his own solo doing. In each case, Franklin reminded them that everything they received was from him which meant that he could take it away as fast as they got it. Lastly, it ended with his mother Cissy, who he lashed out at for refusing to sign over ownership of the house he bought her so that he could sell it. Then it was with his girlfriend Veronique who he threatened and nearly assaulted for taking offers to the Spring Street building in order to make some money for themselves. He starts with Leon, by asking him for $3 million in exchange for a stake in his real estate business that he would later be bought out of for 5-10 times the price. His attempts to get money turn into a rampage tour in which he visits friends and family members to try and force them to give him money or not make him lose anymore. It’s all in an attempt to recover from the $37 million loss that he experienced in episode nine. In the series finale of Snowfall, Franklin goes to great lengths to retrieve whatever bit of money he can from people around him. Here are some of the biggest takeaways that we have after season six’s final episode, “The Struggle”:įranklin Forgot It Was Never A One-Man Show ![]() It’s not the ending many of us had in mind for Snowfall, but it’s also one that we should’ve seen coming. From being at the top of the world to beneath the bottom. In the end, Franklin finds himself at a low point that few of the main or recurring characters on Snowfall have experienced. In his endless search to recoup some of the $73 million that the now-slain Teddy took from him, Franklin disrespects his best friend Leon in a way he hasn’t before, he threatens his wife and nearly assaults her, and he belittles his mother who sacrificed herself to save him. In the final episode, that theme of not knowing when enough is enough is more alive than ever. However, as we’ve seen in the final episodes of Snowfall the conflict within those aforementioned positions didn’t allow him to be successful at all of them. In a perfect world, Franklin could be the breadwinner for his family, a great father, a successful businessman, and a drug dealer who took his earnings and left the dangerous life. Truthfully, it’s something that dates back to season five. That war is on full display in the season six finale of Snowfall. As for Franklin, he predicted that the many things he can be would spark a war inside his mind. Avi has only been and will only be a weapons and drug dealer so that is what he set his mind on as he journeyed from war to war. He could be a teacher, a businessman, a rabbi, or a drug dealer. Speaking about Franklin, he says, “This young man can do anything he wants, and that’s the biggest curse a man can have.” A befuddled Franklin questions Avi’s choice to call it a curse and Avi explains that Frankin’s unlimited skill set allows him to be and do anything he sets his mind to. However, to go a little bit further, we have to ask, what caused this once-impenetrable family to fracture? What caused this empire to fall? The answer is greed and not being able to say enough is enough.Ī post on Twitter called for fans’ favorite scenes from the Snowfall series, and one user shared a clip of a season five conversation between Franklin and drug and weapons dealer Avi. Some may say it’s the slow fall of the empire and its king, which again, I have no pushback against. In a Rolling Stone interview, Damson Idris himself said the theme was the “fracturing of the family,” which I can’t argue against. There are many acceptable answers for what the theme of season six of Snowfall could be. ![]() (WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s episode of Snowfall will be found below.)
