One of the main talking points in Season 5 of 'Snowfall' was the arrival of Cissy (Michael Hyatt), Franklin Saint's (Damson Idris) mother, and her presence is sure to shake things up for the drug-dealing family. With Alton's death as the main purpose behind her coming back to Los Angeles, the final minutes of the episode sees her hatch a plan with a man named Ruben to kill Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson). The episode also focuses on Leon who takes the raid against the community as a personal attack and hopes to exact revenge.

Fans on social media were of the opinion that Cissy's arrival would shake things massively for Franklin and Co. "Cissy wanting back in the life. I feel like the mainly want to do it to keep tabs on Reed and pay him back one day. #SnowfallFX," one of the fans opined. "Teddy gotta watch out.. Cissy is back, It's bout to get intense🔥🔥 #SnowfallFX #Snowfall" another wrote. "so far Louie doing too much with her beef with Saint cause that shit at the dinner table was unnecessary and why Cissy wanna be involve all of a sudden? #SnowfallFX," a fan theorized.

"I think Cissy about to figure Veronique out. Nothing like a mother's intuition. #SnowfallFX," another remarked. "I knew something seemed off with Cissy, but not this. #SnowfallFX" one of the comments read. The final conversation where Cissy tells Leon to pick his battles formed one of the discussions as well. "For some of us, our parents are the warm guiding lights we expect them to be and we seek that comfort elsewhere. Some of us may never find that much needed love and guidance. Leon found it in Cissy and is more open to it than Franklin. Their bond is beautiful #SnowfallFX."

"Cissy is really the only person Leon listens to or even hears out. She’s the only one that still has his respect. #SnowfallFX," one of the tweets read. "Cissy came back with a vengeance. Her motive for coming back is going to put Franklin’s whole empire at risk #SnowfallFX," a fan explained.
