Previously on Snowfall Season 5 Episode 2, Teddy McDonald leveraged his way back onto the L.A. operation. He canceled his successor’s contract with the CIA by killing him… making his death look like an accidental overdose. After Franklin was forced to murder his friend Rob (the one who introduced him to cocaine) he wanted to shift his dealings towards investments- when taking the deal to Jerome and Louie. However, Teddy visited Franklin and mandated he continue their original deal…

Warning… Spoilers below!

On Snowfall Season 5 Episode 3, Franklin took the news of Teddy’s return to the entire crew. He told them that they had to comply with whoever the CIA sent to do business with them. The conversation shifted towards the price drop and they were informed that the price had to remain the same. Franklin didn’t want to bring up the fact that business wasn’t as profitable to Teddy just yet, so they had to break promises they made with their people…

Broken Promises

Jerome and Louie met with Skully’s people about the price debacle and they pulled automatic guns on them. The Saint’s muscle pulled guns too. The messengers informed them that they had to tell Skully themselves. Skully was chastising his messenger holding a samurai sword to the blindfolded man. She demanded to see Jerome and Louie.

By the time Jerome and Louie made it to the projects, Skully had his goons outside, blindfolded, naked, and wearing signs with biblical quotes. When they entered Skully’s place, techno music was blasting and he cut off a messenger’s ear. He took his gripe to the Saint’s while wielding a sword. He demanded $10K a kilo as they originally agreed.

Jerome and Louie felt they were in business with a madman and weren’t clearing as much profit as they could. They needed another play using Melo (Skully’s number two)…

Franklin told Veronique about Teddy’s resurgence. She asked if he questioned the CIA agent about his father. Franklin was caught off guard regarding Teddy’s return and didn’t think (or want to ask).

Jerome and Louie confronted Black Diamond and Dallas at their kids’ school, demanding to get in touch with Melo. The former dancers hired a stripper to pick Melo’s brain and reported back to Jerome and Louie. Later on, Melo with the couple and gave them heads-up about Skully planning to take them out. He offered to take out Skully and they deal with him directly.

Louie visited Skully’s physic ahead of his meeting and the pair intercepted him by gunpoint. They told him that Melo leaked his plans to rob and kill them

Jerome and Louie took the news (and proof of death in the form of his chain) to Melo. Suddenly, Skully emerged from the adjacent room with his goons and guns. Melo tried to talk himself out of the situation but Skully put him in a headlock and snapped his neck! Thereafter, Skully asked why they didn’t take him out. They rathered loyalty. Skully agreed to the regular price.

Spied

Franklin met in public with Teddy about the price cut. Teddy checked him, telling him to get his house in order, and that the pricing wasn’t his problem. Franklin confronted Teddy about Alton, of course, the clandestine agent lied about it, swearing no involvement. Franklin warned him not to pop up at his house or place of business any longer without notice.

Gustavo returned from a meeting with the Columbians. Teddy wanted him to make the drop with Franklin without him while he handled another matter.

Franklin stopped by his bank to grab some cash for the drop. Surprisingly, he let Peaches go home and met with Gustavo alone. They met in a secluded area and Franklin got a hunch that Teddy spying on the meet. He questioned Gustavo about Teddy popping up but decided to bash Grady. Franklin was right… Teddy was listening and spying in the distance.

The following morning, Franklin took Dallas to the secluded meeting spot to examine the empty building. Sure enough, he found evidence that his meeting was being recorded.
