In the opening scene of Episode 3 titled “Door of No Return,” Leon and Wanda are seen walking the streets of Ghana, dressed in unusual attire, as they contemplate whether to return to their home in a war-torn zone or build a new life in Africa. Season 5 ended with the couple deciding to run away to Africa.
During their spiritual and informational journey, Leon and Wanda confront the harsh realities of the Black experience during the slave trade. They also acknowledge their role as drug dealers/consumers in the creation of America’s crack epidemic, leading them to question the damage they have caused.
Ultimately, they decide to return home and make amends for the harm they have inflicted. Before leaving their Ghanaian sanctuary, Leon and Wanda hold an impromptu wedding ceremony on a beautiful African beach, symbolizing their union before they face the violence and turmoil of South Central L.A.’s drug game.
The sweet and surprising scene provides the couple with their final moments of peace before returning to the dangerous world they left behind.
‘Snowfall’ airs on Wednesdays 10pm on FX, and is available for streaming on Hulu.
