The last time we saw Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), the patriarch of La Familia and a drug lord in Los Angeles, he and his right-hand man Leon (Isaiah John) were searching for Franklin’s father, Alton (Kevin Carroll), who is seeking revenge on Reed (Carter Hudson).
Meanwhile, Skully (De’Aundre Bonds) was on the rampage to kill Franklin and anyone else who was involved in his daughter’s death. In the big standoff, both Skully and Alton took gunshot wounds. Skully went to the hospital, while Alton got patched up by Franklin. Later, Reed showed up to take out Alton once and for all and only Franklin’s intervention with his mother, Cissy (Michael Hyatt), saved Alton.
But in the waning moments of the season, Reed followed Alton to Cuba and cornered him. The big cliffhanger is whether Reed killed Alton or not. It also seems like Franklin and Mel (Reign Edwards) are finally done.
When the show returns, it is the summer of 1986 and the real-life overdose death of basketball star Len Bias is about to upend Franklin’s world.
The FX description of the season reads as follows:
Set in the summer of 1986, Franklin Saint and his entire circle of relatives are rich beyond their wildest dreams, and they’re about to have everything they’ve ever wanted. . . even when the ground begins to fall under your feet.
The sudden and tragic death of basketball star Len Bias is making headlines due to the cocaine epidemic, the goal of Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Law enforcement is on the road to war and the militarization of the Los Angeles Police Department continues as police and politicians who The only way to fight this developing scourge is through the use of force and the creation of the new C. R. A. S. H. (Community Resources Against Street Bullies). The streets of South Central Los Angeles have never been more dangerous as the Saint family battles police, warring gangs and the CIA.
In the midst of all this, the biggest risk the family faces is another, as they try not to let greed, resentment, and ego tear them apart.
The first episode is titled “Comets” and its description reads: “It’s the summer of 1986 and Saint’s team has progressed; Franklin’s private life and relationships are flourishing, but a challenge in the valley brings him trouble.
The second episode aired after the first on February 23. It’s titled “Engagement” and its description reads: “Teddy is on his way to CIA operations in Los Angeles; Franklin and Véronique have a business proposal for Jerome and Louie.
Then on March 2 comes episode three, titled “Lions.” Its description reads, “Teddy’s return causes tension, forcing Jerome and Louie to negotiate with Skully.”
The season of “Snowfall” airs Wednesdays at 10 p. m. ET on FX.
