Peaky Blinders: Tommy's Poem Secretly Reveals Season 6's Ending
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 1.
The first episode of Peaky Blinders season 6 might have already revealed its ending. The show picks up after the failed assassination of Oswald Mosley orchestrated by Tommy Shelby, which drove Tommy to a suicide attempt. The head of the Shelby clan was losing his grip, made worse by the bodies returned to him, which turned out to be Aberama Gold, his son Barney, and Tommy's beloved Aunt Polly. The show then skips to four years later, and Tommy has seemingly regained his calm, comprehensive state after the horror unearthed at the beginning of the episode.
In this period four years later, Tommy is meeting with Michael and his associates after not speaking to his cousin since the death of Polly. Michael blames his mother's death on Tommy's ambition and swore at her funeral to take revenge on him, and Tommy doesn't trust him in return due to Michael's attempt to take his place as the head of the family. Though Peaky Blinders has established a significant conflict between them, they meet to discuss alternate trade strategies under the impression that they are solely doing business and putting their individual feelings aside. Tommy's flowery language during the meeting results in Michael and his gang, associates of Jack Nelson, mocking him, and then jokingly asking him for a poem. Tommy chooses to recite the first stanza of ''A Poison Tree'' by William Blake, and this specific poem suggests that the war between them is in full swing, and season 6 won't end well for Michael.
