#Leon snowfall series#
Only after this series of meetings does true wedding planning begin.
“You ain’t got a damn thing to worry about from me,” Kane responds. “So, me and my baby will be safe?” she asks again for clarification. “I intend to keep my word,” he tells her. or must flee to the east is all up to Kane. After all, this man shot at her and Franklin’s family once, what’s to stop him from trying again? Whether she can stay in L.A. Regardless of Franklin’s assertion that a deal with Kane had been negotiated, Veronique knows better than to accept these terms. After asking Kane to put out his cigarette (LOL), Veronique effectively tells him that her future is in his hands. I’m also having his child,” she tells him after sliding into his booth.
Pulling up on Kane in a dimly lit bar, Veronique comes at the ex-con straight. Next up in the succession of women consumed by the fear of death knells rather than the sweet sound of wedding bells is Veronique. In the end, only he can bring your enemies down,” he tells her. Rubén explains to her that Franklin is crucial to gaining intel about the inner workings of his networks and his ties to Teddy. Despite divulging these details, Cissy remains adamant that she won’t offer her son up on a platter by recording him. Just a few days before her brother’s wedding, Cissy meets with Rubén on a park bench and spills the beans about the wedding’s invite list, including (surprise, surprise) all of their drug game contacts and allies. “Better the devil you know,” Teddy remarks. She mentions that she considered going to the Colombians to arrange a deal but decided Teddy was her best bet. Knowing Louie, this is no impulsive move. Louie makes her intentions behind the meeting clear: she wants to cut Franklin out of the chain and buy directly from Teddy. And in that time, the two have each survived a gunshot wound and come out on the other side more tenacious than ever. As the two make a point to note, it has been some time since Teddy and Louie have interfaced. After giving Officer Buckley the “okay” to plan a hit on Kane, Louie sets up a meeting with Teddy (and, to a lesser extent, Gustavo) to discuss new arrangements for the chain of hands the product must pass through before it reaches her.
More crime boss than Bridezilla, Louie takes the days before her wedding to tie up loose ends and negotiate new business relationships. With this dramatic psychic frame in mind, it comes as no surprise then that the scenes leading up to the nuptials of Louie and Jerome, the women in and around the Saint family are more concerned with addressing their imperiled realities than realizing marital romance.
Returning to the idea of the “war inside,” the wedding, the episode’s titular celebration, is transformed into a stage for a host of internal and interpersonal dramas. While “Celebration” is, of course, the highly anticipated wedding episode in which fan favorites Jerome and Louie - a couple whose longstanding bond has earned them (in my mind) the status of the Jay and Bey of South Central - tie the knot, it’s also the episode when the tightly wound theater of the drug game and its ensemble cast of kingpins, runners, addicts, informants, agents, and operatives unravels at a psychic level. A testament to the narrative potential embedded in Snowfall’s historicized fiction, this week’s episode takes its audience and its characters on a trip.
