The first episode of this season is when the audience loses their minds – John Shelby gets shot. The previous season witnessed Polly, Michael, Arthur, and John being walked to the hanging ropes, ready to be hanged to death for their crimes. Somehow, Tommy was able to plead for mercy and have their sins pardoned seconds away from the great execution.
However, this particular episode saw the once close-knit family parting ways from each other for obvious reasons. Even though Tommy was the one to get them out of the hell hole they were taken into, he was also the one responsible for them punished in the first place.
Polly starts to hallucinate often about her near-death experience, making her resort to pills and prescriptions to keep her sanity intact. On the other hand, Luca Changretta starts to conspire to find a way to avenge her father and brother’s death from the Shelbys.
The Shelbys were finally able to kill off the Changrettas for once and for all, however, the death of Alfie Solomons left fans in dismay. In the end, he manipulates Tommy into killing him as he was already suffering from cancer.

However, the one he hired to shoot allegedly hadn’t held a gun even, for over a decade and a half. Barney, the said sniper, gets pulled out of the rally, thanks to Finn acting as the whistleblower when he informed of Tommy’s plan to Billy – who informed somebody resulting in Barney’s dismissal.
