Snowfall Season 6 season finale recap
After Cissy shoots Teddy, thus killing him, Franklin calls Veronique from a pay phone and update him. He then calls Teddy’s Handler Stephen who tells him that he needs to drop Ruben off with the CIA if he wants to stay alive. After willingly drinking a mind-altering shot at the bar, Franklin ignores Ruben’s pleas and hands him over.
Franklin then asks Leon for $3 million in exchange for a vague half-baked plan about making him part owner in his real estate company. However, Leon sees through this and refuses to give Franklin the blood money. To this, he replies, “I’m the reason y’all n****s got this f****** money in the first place.” When Franklin threatens to take the money from Leon violently, the latter’s security forces Franklin to take another route.
In the meanwhile, Cissy admits her crime and is now sent to custody. Franklin learns that Veronique has been planning to sell his stake at the Spring Street developmental. He confronts her aggressively, grabbing her by the neck, and tells her that he sold all the properties to his mother’s old boss.
When Franklin realizes that Veronique withdrew all the cash from the bank, he visits his mother to convince her to sell the house and give him the money. When Cissy does not utter a single word during the entire conversation, Franklin loses his cool and starts becoming hysterical. He starts blaming her for everything as he escapes accountability. He is then escorted out by an officer.
