Warning: This post contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season 6 episode 2.
Here's who the gray man of Ruby's visions is in Peaky Blinders season 6 and why Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby should be scared of what his daughter sees. Only an episode after Peaky Blinders revealed the Tika More O Beng mystery, the second episode ends with another bang, with Ruby in grave peril and her parents worried for her health. Things are not looking good for Ruby, and her visions of a gray man are bad news for Tommy: «it's the gray man. Says he's coming for me. And he's coming for Daddy as well.»
Though Peaky Blinders is rooted in real-life history, Steven Knight's show has increasingly embraced fantastic realism in a wholly uncynical way. All of season 5 was dedicated to Tommy Shelby's visions of a black cat warning him of someone close to him betraying him, and Polly Grey's influence on her nephew was partly aided by her second sight and gift of foresight. It seems that Peaky Blinders is replacing Polly with Ruby, in particularly worrying fashion given the cost it's coming with for Ruby herself. While Tommy ended Peaky Blinders season 6's first episode pleading with Polly and assuring her that he was trying to «get out», there may well be dark twists in his tale yet to be revealed.

Ruby's «gray man» vision is almost certainly a warning to Tommy Shelby.
