Snowfall EP and Writer Walter Mosley: 'John Singleton Is Happy With How Things Turned Out For the Show'įascinatingly enough, using Tanosse as a rat also led to Manboy’s undoing. Snowfall's Gail Bean: Wanda and Leon's Love Humanizes Addiction
And at the end of last week’s episode, we learned that Manboy had offered to pay Franklin’s girlfriend Tanosse $100,000, plus protection for her brother in prison, if she could get Franklin to reveal his drug supplier, or “plug.” Of course, Franklin figured out the double-cross. Although Manboy and his crew attempted to kill Skully with Franklin’s blessing and assistance, Manboy quickly switched lanes when Leon accidentally shot and killed Skully’s 5-year-old daughter, who was also Manboy’s niece. For weeks, this guy has been creating drama with his brother-in-law of sorts, Skully. But first, let’s unpack Manboy’s murder at the hands of Franklin.
