A couple of things you should know about Snowfall star Angela Lewis, who plays the once-kind, now sinister auntie to drug boss Franklin Saint (Damson Idris). First and foremost, Angela Lewis is not Louie, which seems to be a point of confusion for the many Snowfall viewers in her DMs telling her how awful she is. Secondly, about those nasty DMs: Lewis doesn\u2019t care if y\u2019all hate her or Louie because, third and most importantly, Louie is doing what Louie needs to do for Louie. Period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at it like this,\u201d she tells Bet.com, speaking on the phone shortly after Episode 7 (\u201cCharnel House\u201d) had aired. \u201cIn any given business<\/a>, whatever business, if your boss is messy, always screaming at you, not recognizing the fact that ninety percent of the profits come through you, anybody would be reassessing their life, right? Angela Lewis like, \u2018Listen, I\u2019m going to take my chances out on my own. We\u2019re going to do this our way.\u2019 Who wouldn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angela Lewis got a point, even if being right has come with enormous costs. With just a few episodes left in FX\u2019s exceptional drug\/crime drama from the late, great John Singleton, there are a lot of questions left to be answered and, from the looks of it, a lot more blood to be shed as well. As the lights dim on the series, viewers are nervously waiting to see how it all concludes, particularly the fate of Franklin as his empire and personal life are spiraling downward fast. Short on money, paranoid, and furious over slights by former CIA Agent Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson) and slights from Louie, Franklin is more dangerous than ever. But then, so is Louie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLouie has amazing vision,\u201d Angela Lewis says. \u201cShe has the ability to see people and things for who and what they are, and understand how to maneuver with and around them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we last saw Louie, Angela Lewis was battered and bruised both metaphorically and literally. The shocking death of her husband and fan favorite Jerome (Amin Joseph) sent her into a spiral of her own; Louie not only witnessed his demise in real time but suffered extreme torture in a warehouse, enduring beating, burning degradation, and sexual assault at the hands of competitor and nemesis Kane (DeVaughn Nixon). Lewis, who is very visibly and very adorably pregnant right now, says she was pregnant during the filming of those intense torture scenes, although she didn\u2019t know it at the time. Fortunately, she\u2019d done some spiritual work beforehand to protect her energy\u2013\u2013and the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI prepared with deep meditation,\u201d Angela Lewis says. \u201cI started with a covering of white light to cover my energetic body; a visualization. All the way down to my toes. And I made sure to cover my heart and my liver and my ovaries and all those things, all the organs that keep the body working and that are so important to protect from trauma despite all the crazy that was happening. Because I didn\u2019t find out I was pregnant till episode eight, and I just think, wow, how incredible I was able to protect this new life that was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And despite how terrible her relationship with her nephew is at the moment, Lewis says she and Idris are cool off-screen, even if on-screen, there is likely no turning back from their all-out war. Though Franklin admitted that he\u2019d basically saved Louie\u2019s life, that gesture is probably too little too late; she\u2019s already struck another deal with Franklin\u2019s archnemesis Teddy to deliver Franklin to Teddy and anyway, there\u2019s so much bad blood between them even saving her life isn\u2019t enough to stop what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what they say: Hell hath no fury like a bad b*tch scorned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLouie came from nothing. Now she has what she\u2019s always dreamt of, and she doesn\u2019t take that lightly,\u201d Lewis says. \u201cThere are lots of paths Louie could take moving forward, and she is internally exploring all of those paths. She\u2019s heartbroken. She has nobody,<\/a> no one. And she is very angry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
