At the end of Snowfall, Franklin Saint does not die or go to jail; instead, he is left completely alone, having lost his entire family and all his wealth due to his life in the criminal underworld.
Franklin Saint's Final State
Franklin Saint's journey concludes not with a bang, but with a whimper, as he finds himself in a state of profound isolation and destitution. Despite having once built a formidable drug empire, his relentless pursuit of power and money ultimately leads to the complete unraveling of his personal life. He ends the series alive and free, but utterly broken, stripped of his fortune, his influence, and, most painfully, his family connections. This outcome serves as a stark consequence of the destructive path he chose, leaving him with nothing but the bitter reality of his losses.
The Unraveling of His Inner Circle
Franklin's criminal activities directly led to tragic outcomes for those closest to him, leaving him without his key support system:
- Uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph): His beloved uncle, a foundational figure in his life and deeply involved in his operations, tragically loses his life.
- Mother Cissy (Michael Hyatt): His mother, Cissy, who had become increasingly entangled in his world, ends up incarcerated, serving time for her actions.
- Best Friend Leon (Isaiah John): His loyal and long-time best friend, Leon Simmons, manages to escape the violence and danger of the drug trade by moving away, effectively disappearing from Franklin's life.
Franklin Saint's ultimate fate underscores the devastating personal cost of his ambition, leaving him to face the consequences in stark solitude.
