Peaky Blinders: Why Tommy's Visions Are Back - What Illness He Has
Warning: Contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 2.
Peaky Blinders season 6 episode 2 saw Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) descend back into his visions with the Prussian soldier, except this time they come with a dangerous illness. Peaky Blinders season 6 deals with the aftermath of Polly Gray's (Helen McCrory) death, four years after the events of season 5. Tommy is planning his biggest scheme yet and promises to leave the Peaky Blinders afterward, but his daughter Ruby (Orla McDonagh) is coughing blood, and Tommy's health appears to be rapidly declining as well.
Peaky Blinders season 6 episode 1 ended with Tommy rushing back to the UK after Lizzie (Natasha O’Keeffe) told him Ruby was sick. Tommy was scared for his daughter when he learned she had visions (and was muttering the Romani phrase «Tikna Mora O Beng»). The following episode, a doctor visits the Shelby home and gives Ruby the all-clear, but it's Tommy who starts worrying Lizzie as he has a violent seizure in the bathroom. Incidentally, he tells Lizzie he experienced another seizure on the boat back to the UK, right after he heard of Ruby's illness. Ruby's visions return by the end of the episode, and it's evident her illness is entwined with her father's, as she utters «it's the grey man. Says he's coming for me. And he's coming for Daddy as well.»
