Episode 22 - “To Be Continued?”

After the Snow

Rick is back from New Orleans, where he attended his first Essence festival and has nothing but great things to say. Community, culture, and celebration all wrapped up in one experience. In this week’s Season 1 finale episode of Snowfall, “The Rubicon,” our characters are brought into some hefty decisions. We learn that a rubicon moment is defined as having to “irrevocably commit to a course of action, make a fateful and final decision” — and we can see just how that’s panned out across all storylines this season. Each character has come so far… and at this point, they can’t turn back. Franklin is calling shots, both figuratively and literally. Gustavo is caught in a business and love affair, taking on a whole family of issues. And Teddy has caught a few bodies himself. We’re left to only assume where these matters will take each of them.
In true After The Snow fashion, Dave and Rick dive into the rubicon moments that stood out in Rick’s experience in the game. He shares how intense the smell of 150 kilos of cocaine can get when cooking up rock, then outlines his relationship and fallout with his Nicaraguan supplier Oscar Danilo Blandón — who later turned informant for the DEA. And for us, we hope that is not where Rick and Danilo’s story ends because for the right price…we might just be able to see them turn this rubicon moment into a real life BREAKBEAT moment. Tap in!
