Wait, Eddie Did Not Kill Tommy in Mobland, but [Spoiler]?

by

In Episode 4 of Paramount+’s series “MobLand,” there were suggestions about the underlying reasons for Maeve’s (played by Helen Mirren) part in the recent violent incidents involving the Harrigans, particularly Tommy’s demise. As the conflict with the Stevensons intensifies, the episode provokes thoughts as to whether Maeve could have subtly manipulated events and Eddie towards a tragic ending.

Did Maeve have Tommy killed through Eddie in Mobland?

From the start of MobLand, Maeve has backed Eddie’s decisions. In episode 4, viewers witness a moment when Eddie (Anson Boon), looking unsure, asks his grandmother if what they did regarding Tommy Stevenson was a mistake. Eddie queries, “Was it a mistake? What we did?” Maeve, offering a comforting smile, affirms, “We’ve skillfully maneuvered everyone into the positions we desire.

This scene heavily implies that Maeve was instrumental in Tommy’s death, as it seems the Harrigan matriarch manipulated Eddie into eliminating the Stevenson family heir. Maeve’s influence fueled the tension between the two gangs, ultimately leading to an all-out conflict.

Maeve not only has been shaping the actions of her spouse, Conrad Harrigan, and her grandson to get rid of certain people. During a frank chat with Eddie, Maeve lets her true nature show. She voices her annoyance at witnessing her husband’s transformation from a powerful Irish mob boss into a British gent who seems more concerned about his “investments” than leading.

Furthermore, one of Maeve’s statements suggests the direction in which the gang conflict may progress. The matriarch of the Harrigan family, who can be likened to Lady Macbeth, tells Eddie, “When you dismember Tommy, that was a warning. We are preparing to deliver another.

Simultaneously, Harry (played by Tom Hardy) made an unconventional deal with Richie Stevenson. As part of this agreement, the Harrigan family was to attend Tommy Stevenson’s funeral. This meeting of adversarial groups might be decisive before a conflict threatens both families.

Previously, audiences witnessed Maeve harboring a strong desire to eliminate Vron, who is Tommy’s mother. Should Maeve persuade a Harrigan to perform this action, it may ignite a destructive conflict among the families, potentially resulting in widespread violence and tragic loss of life.

In a new turn of events, Maeve starts subtly altering perspectives in an attempt to separate Harry, who is known as the Harrigan family’s problem solver, from the rest of the group. At first, Conrad ignores her apprehensions, but if their increasing unease towards Harry continues, it could potentially bring about the demise of the entire family.
