is the first episode of the sixth series of Peaky Blinders and the thirty-first episode overall. It aired on February 27, 2022.
Tommy sets off to North America, where the end of Prohibition brings new opportunities. But he faces new danger from an old adversary who is finally making his move.
Tommy is still reeling from the failed assassination on Oswald. At the estate, after seeing the ghostly images of Grace again, Tommy attempts to shoot himself but the gun is empty. Lizzie arrives, telling him grimly that Arthur took the bullets out. Disgusted, she drops six bullets for him on the ground as a way out and walks away, calling Tommy a coward.
Tommy’s decision not to kill himself is met with an interesting development when he heads back to his office. Receiving a call with crucial intel, he learns the attack was carried out by three Dublin brigades of the Republican Army. Tommy is told his organization has been restructured, including three bodies dropped off as collateral; Barney Thomason, Aberama Gold, and Polly Shelby.
Polly's caravan is shown and her portrait is burned as a symbol of passing, courtesy of a somber Michael. He vows revenge on Tommy.
Four years later, Tommy is on Miquelon Island, Newfoundland territory in France. The date is December 5th 1933 and there’s a chill in the air. Snow clings to the ground in a patchwork as Tommy Shelby crunches past the frost and bitter wind to arrive at Hotel Robert.
Tommy has the meeting room booked for later on, but for now he’s drinking water. Tommy has upset a lot of men on this island, with his influence forcing good people out of jobs and leaving their livelihoods ruined. Although Tommy’s choice to drink water is solely based on him giving up alcohol, the other men see it as a betrayal of their values and a way of him laughing in their faces. Jean-Claude, the ringleader of a group sitting on the edge of the bar watching this play out, demands he toast but as things take a turn for the worst, Tommy shows off his skills, drawing his gun and shooting the wall – and a stray pigeon – to show how serious he is. Tommy doesn’t kill anyone though, pointing out to them that he’s a lot more calmer and rational than he was before. Polly’s death has – at least for Tommy – helped to steady the ship. He has a reason for getting revenge now, and it’s clear he’s playing the long-game.
The last day of Prohibition sees Tommy organize a meeting with Michael and his men. Michael has teamed up with Gina's uncle Jack Nelson and his gang in Boston. Tommy wants to team up for a lucrative new deal. Specifically, Tommy wants to take advantage of the new shipping systems about to take place. Miquelon is situated on a little island that can easily ship things off to both America and Canada, making it prime real estate for smuggling illegal narcotics. The FBI and the RCMP have no jurisdiction here and over the past four years Tommy has been working to smuggle opium with his men from Shanghai. Using the boats that are currently abandoned, it’s the perfect opportunity to pounce on this and make a lot of money. It also helps that Tommy and the police commissioner are on good terms, thanks in part to him paying him off to the sum of 12 million francs. However, the Americans need to speak to their associate in Boston, Uncle Jack.
