With the Saint family at odds, chaos and killings run rampant throughout L.A. in the sixth and final season of “Snowfall” on FX. But even amidst the turmoil of a drug war, Leon (Isaiah John) and Wanda (Gail Bean) were able to have their moment in the sun.
Episode 3 titled, “Door of No Return” opens to find Leon wearing an unusual getup that strays from his typical white t-shirt and dickies as he walks the streets of Ghana with Wanda with a haunting question that looms over their heads. (Fans may remember Season 5 left off with the two deciding to run away together to Africa). Do they leave their overseas sanctuary to go back to their home that’s essentially a war zone — or do they stay and build a new life for themselves without the harm of the past holding them down?
The couple embarks on a spiritual and informational journey examining several harsh realizations about the Black experience during the slave trade which leaves them questioning the damage they’ve been a part of as drug dealers/consumers playing an integral role in the creation of America’s crack epidemic. All of which pushes them to their final decision to go home and help fix the problem they caused. But not without solidifying their own union first.
In a surprising and sweet scene, Leon and Wanda hold an impromptu wedding ceremony on an African beach, exchanging rings against a sunlit backdrop over the water. The stage serves as their final moments of peace before they leave their Ghanaian love nest and are catapulted back into the violence and grit of South Central L.A.’s drug game.
Following the episode’s airing, Isaiah John and Gail Bean broke down the episode with Variety. Read the interview below. “Snowfall” airs on Wednesdays on FX, and is available for next day streaming on Hulu.
