Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 5, confirmed that Billy was the one who leaked Tommy Shelby's assassination plan to the IRA. Billy meets his end at the hands of Duke, after Finn refuses, in the Peaky Blinders season 6 finale.
Lizzie is raising Ruby and Charles, but her marriage with Thomas is strained as he is still hallucinating Grace's ghost. Lizzie is tired of Thomas always being too busy with business for their family and debates divorcing him when she finds a lawyer in London who will represent her.
I regret marrying you, Lizzie. Cause I've put you through so much. I've put you through all of this. Ruby.
Who does Tommy Shelby fall in love with? Thomas Shelby is surely a complex person but if there's one thing that is unquestionable is his love for Grace.
Thomas offers Lizzie Stark eight pounds for her to service him one last time before she marries his brother John. Lizzie accepts the money, and Thomas tells her to keep it, and that he was just testing her. He tells Lizzie that he will tell John the truth.
Following an unsuccessful attempt on Arthur's life and Tommy's final outmanoeuvring of Changretta, Tommy confronts Alfie for his betrayal. Alfie reveals he knew Tommy would track him down for his actions, and that he has cancer and wishes to die on his own terms.
Alfie revealed that he was suffering from skin cancer, which he attributed to the poisonous gas used in the Great War; Alfie had intended for Tommy to discover his betrayal, track him down, and kill him so Alfie could die on his own terms, rather than the Mafia.
Michael especially lacks Tommy's cool and calm demeanour and his 'Brains". He is then driven solely by revenge for Polly's murder, which he blames completely on Thomas despite the fact that Thomas didn't even murder Polly and Tommy was equally as devastated by Polly's deaths as Michael was.
Why does Tommy treat Lizzie bad?
But I think the reason he treats her badly - self-sabotages their relationship so many times - is because it makes him deeply uncomfortable. It is too raw. She makes him confront the moral greyness of who he is - not good, not bad, but the 'in between' as she says to Linda. And we know Tommy only deals in certainties.

Thomas Shelby is surely a complex person but if there's one thing that is unquestionable is his love for Grace. Although treachery and time apart temporarily separated this couple, deep down, their love remained strong.
But sleeping with Diana (and making business with the fascists in general) is just another "bad thing." In this case, the end doesn't justify the means: if Tommy keeps using morally corrupt methods to do good, he will be in a vicious circle forever, as he will have to keep doing good to make up for the bad.
As Tommy comes to know a bit more about Grace, she intrigues him. She's genuinely different to everybody else in his world - she 'has class,' is Irish, and while not unafraid of him, is bold enough to ask for the favour of being allowed to sing and extra money to attend Cheltenham.
Polly finally does give in to the mutual attraction, and they have sex, during which he makes the mistake of placing his hand around her neck and unwittingly causes her to have flashbacks to the time Campbell raped her, understandably killing the moment somewhat.
Grace leaves behind her work as a spy, but Tommy is unable to forgive her until they reunite in season 2, marrying in Peaky Blinders season 3, episode 1. Their wedded bliss is short-lived, however, and Grace is killed by the Changretta gang in Peaky Blinders season 3, episode 2.
Grace and Thomas have sex. Afterward, Thomas asks Grace if she'll stay with him, and help him with things. Arthur, crying and drunk and filled with melancholy over his poor decision and the abandonment of his father, tries to commit suicide by hanging himself.
Cillian Murphy also said he married her for loyalty. By s4, she was not a prostitute but a secretary-cum- friend with benefits. She is low maintenance, he had no emotional hassle with her and basically did what was told. So its a marriage of convenience overall.
Tommy's wife, Lizzie Shelby (Natasha O'Keeffe) ends up leaving him after he has an affair and as the pair split, Charlie, Tommy's son with Grace, decides to go with her. Given Tommy feels he is dying, he lets go, feeling that the boy would be taken care of.
Who does Tommy sleep with in season 6?
Mosley and Mitford try to humiliate Lizzie (Natasha O'Keeffe) out of her marriage to Tommy, revealing that Tommy slept with Diana as "the English aristocracy's way of shaking hands" over a deal.
Oswald Mosley's Many Mistresses
He reveled in the knowledge that he slept with Tommy's wife, Lizzie (Natasha O'Keeffe), when she was a sex worker, but Tommy has also done his research and knows Oswald has been cheating on his wife with her sister and step-mother.
Tommy shoots Alfie dead at the end of a long feud between the two, during which Solomons sells Shelby out to the Italians. Solomons also claims that he's dying of cancer, and once Alfie shoots Tommy in the side to goad him into putting him out of his misery, Shelby has no real reason to keep him alive.
Though Alfie doesn't say what type of cancer he has, Schiavo tells Chap that the "Peaky Blinders" team did have a specific kind in mind. "From season 1, Solomon has lung cancer," she says while explaining the addition of psoriasis, "but we wanted something else that showed physically on the exterior.
While it appeared that Tommy Shelby had killed Alfie at the end of season 4, he made a surprise return in Peaky Blinders season 5, having retired to Margate. Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 2, “Black Shirt,” sees Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) return to England after having set deals up in America.
