How did Tommy know Billy was the informant?
After Jack Nelson violently forced Billy Grade into becoming an informant for his operation, somehow Tommy found out (possibly because Billy was passing information to Gina Gray, whom Tommy had surveilled and was blackmailing over her adultery with Oswald Mosley).
After Jack Nelson violently forced Billy Grade into becoming an informant for his operation, somehow Tommy found out (possibly because Billy was passing information to Gina Gray, whom Tommy had surveilled and was blackmailing over her adultery with Oswald Mosley).
Furthermore, Boston gangster Jack Nelson tells Billy: "I hear you're the informant inside the Shelby Organisation." This goes to show Billy is an active informant, probably still in contact with McKee (since Tommy introduced Nelson to McKee, it's likely this is how Nelson knows about Billy).
While the other Shelbys recognize Billy as an informant, Finn does not and trusts him too much.
Jack Nelson violently forces Billy to act as his informant on the Peaky Blinders so he can have Arthur Shelby killed. Nelson most likely got Billy Grade's name from Laura McKee of the IRA. Billy and Finn arrive drunk, as usual, to Arrow House, believing they are there to recover vital documents and dig up bodies.
He had tuberculoma in his brain stem, a growth caused by the same bacteria as the lung disease, doubtless picked up from daughter Ruby (Orla McDonagh). It wasn't infectious but it was inoperable. The symptoms (seizures, dissociation, hallucinations, sharp cheekbones – I may have added the last one) chimed with Tommy's.
Tommy proved how serious he was by having furious sex with Diana between purple satin sheets. Diana described it as the 'English aristocracy's way of shaking hands'. Shortly afterwards, Diana rubbed their extra marital dalliance in Lizzie's face, prompting Lizzie to storm out in tearful embarrassment.
Isiah and Duke trick Finn and Billy Grade into attending a creepy party at Tommy's abandoned house – it turns out there is no party, but instead it's a ruse to kill Billy for being the 'Black Cat' informant inside the organisation.
With the confirmation that the family didn't trust Finn anymore, he is excommunicated from the Peaky Blinders. Having the family keeping their distance from Finn leading up to the finale shows that they were ready to cut ties with him and wanted to keep him in a position where he couldn't cause more damage.
However, while Frank and Stephen Wallace might have influenced some elements of Jack Nelson's story, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has confirmed that rather than being based on a gangster, it is a politician: Peaky Blinders Jack Nelson is based on Joseph Kennedy Sr., the father of JFK.
Is Finn Shelby Tommy's brother?
During the assassination mission Tommy's younger brother Finn Shelby (Harry Kirton) was shot in the arm even though he was instructed by Tommy to stay back and let the other two men do the killing.
After completing most of the items, including giving Billy's ex-girlfriend Canyon (voiced by Castuera) one last motorcycle ride, and conquering his fear of the ocean, an apparition of Billy appears to Finn, telling him that Finn's biological father is still alive.
Jack Nelson demands that Billy give up information so Arthur can be killed, all while garroting Billy's testicl*s with a similar wire to the one he killed the referee with, threatening him with an "Italian death" if he fails.
8 Aberama Gold
In season 5, Aberama got married to Polly, but their happiness did not last for last. First, Aberama lost his son to the Billy Boys, and then he began to plot the assassination of Jimmy McCavern, but before he could complete the task, Aberama was killed by the IRA.
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.
Billy Grade Informed The IRA About The Mosley Assassination
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.
From the beginning, Tommy has struggled with what we now understand as post-traumatic stress disorder, stemming from his time in World War I. In Season 6, he suffers from seizures, with his body reflecting the inner turmoil wrought from fighting at home and abroad.
Following Ruby's diagnosis, both Tommy and Lizzie were examined for signs of the disease, but unlike Lizzie, who was given the all-clear, Tommy's fate looks bleak. The doctor informed the head of the Shelby clan that he has tuberculoma, a non-cancerous growth or tumour brought on by his daughter's illness.
By 1934 that "love" for Michael seems to have faded as Gina is caught by Tommy having sex with Oswald Mosley, revealing Gina to not only being unfaithful, but also calls into question whether she ever loved Michael, considering Gina's narcissistic and selfish personality.
Murphy had responded to the theory and tried to give some clarification as to why this was the case, saying the all-consuming nature of Tommy's undertakings took over his life and didn't give him enough time to sleep or eat, which he thinks was shown in "a brilliant way."
Who does Tommy cheat on Lizzie with?
Eventually, Lizzie has had enough, with him sleeping with Diana Mitford being the last straw. She informs Thomas that she is leaving him. He surprises her by letting Charles go with her.
Lizzie officially reached the end of her tether after discovering Tommy had slept with Diana Mitford and decided to leave him. Still distraught over the death of her daughter Ruby, she's surprised when Tommy's son Charlie asks to join her instead of staying with him.
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.
Spoiler alert . . . I AM SO HAPPY THAT GINA IS CHEATING ON MICHAEL. I loved him when he first joined the family. I thought he'd be like a son to Tommy, and I stopped liking him when he got shot.
Tommy has a total of 15 bodies (15 kills) throughout the whole series.
