'Snowfall' Episode 3: Will Teddy McDonald die by the end of Season 5?
'Snowfall' Season 5's explosive two-episode premiere may have just sealed the fate of one of the more key characters on the crime drama. The FX show which grew stronger by the installment pits Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) and Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson) reviving a rivalry that was heavily speculated ahead of the start of the season. Now it's a classic CIA vs crime lord battle that will frame a vital storyline for the rest of the series.
Speculations are already rife that Teddy may not make it out of this season alive and the popular theory doing the round is his imminent death at the hands of a cold and efficient Franklin. Adding more fuel to this theory is the gritty and action-packed promo for Episode 3 that shows the chaos that will rattle Los Angeles in the days to come.

'Snowfall' Season 5: Will Denzel Washington star in critically-acclaimed FX series?
It's all about family and maintaining a thriving business for Idris' protagonist this time and he's grown in stature. He has a way of doing things (that explains putting a bullet in White Rob's head) and Teddy antagonizing him in the second episode shows he regretted the fact that he should have killed the CIA spook when he had the chance. Teddy's re-entry just puts the lives of Louie, Leon, Jerome, and even his unborn child in jeopardy. Then comes the taunts when Teddy makes sure Franklin feels it when he's reminded of who's the boss.
Plus the murder of Franklin's father Alton is one of the storylines that will bubble up. It's a lot to take in considering the new season is just two episodes in, but Snowfall has not shied away from throwing major shockers before, and it's unlikely the situation changes now.
The new season stars Damson Idris as Franklin Saint, Carter Hudson as Teddy McDonald, Sergio Peris-Mencheta as Gustavo El Oso Zapata, Michael Hyatt as Cissy Saint, Amin Joseph as Jerome Saint, Angela Lewis as Louise “Louie” Saint, Isaiah John as Leon Simmons, and Alon Aboutboul Avi Dexler.
What are your thoughts on Teddy making it out alive this season?
'Snowfall' Season 5 airs Wednesdays at 10 pm ET on FX.
