To protect the Shelby name

Decent episode, good storyline and character development and an surprise ending. The spiral of Arthur and Tommy's ambitions are quite interesting to watch.

"By order of the Peaky Blinders" one of the best lines of the entire series.

Alfie is such a great character just can't take your eyes off him. Also I loved the way the brothers all stood up to go get retribution without a word passing between them like it was just a given, you messed with our family & now you pay. The actress that plays May Carlton is actually Tom Hardy's wife! May's place is Chatsworth House in Derbyshire England amazing place with much of Peaky filmed in Manchester in the north not Birmingham in the midlands. Not sure why they went to burn the place down when the bartender/ owner was telling the one who jumped them to leave it alone why not jump the dumba$$ that threw the punches?

This was a pretty solid episode, even if it wasn't the most special.

This was a pretty solid episode, even if it wasn't the most special. I was surprised that May's character actually came into the plot... It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Sure, she's nothing special, but I thought she would just be a one-off character. Anyway, Sabini and Alfie Solomons coming to a truce wasn't exactly what I was expecting either, but I feel like there will still be some plot-thickening and twists. There wasn't a ton of plot in the episode, but it was nice to see Micheal devolop as he goes on into this world of gangsters and razor blades. The scene towards the end where The Marquis Of Lorne was burnt was very intriguing to watch. Tommy was very interesting in this episode, and I had no clue what was going to happen next... He's an exciting and unpredictable to watch. Arthur is still a very good character to watch, and the scene where he took the club was one of his best. John's always very fun to watch and Finn is always a cute appearance. Ada is an interesting foil, almost for Tommy, and I think Esme deserves a little bit more screen time. Isiah is an interesting character, and I'm excited to see more of him. His relationship with Micheal was kinda fun to watch. Him being Jeremiah's son makes a lot of sense. I completely understand the hardships he must feel in the time period, so the brawl he and Micheal got into at the pub was very cathartic. The political game Tommy's in isn't the most interesting plot, but I'm wondering how it's going to go... Tommy and May might have an interesting relationship, but the ending of this episode was... Interesting. I have mixed feelings, and I wonder how that will develop. So... Can't wait to see what happens next!
