In the last season of Peaky Blinders, Tommy Shelby spent much of the finale preparing for his demise. However, as the resilient gang leader who seems to have nine lives, he survived to fight another day.

Diagnosed with tuberculoma, a severe condition characterized by lumps at the base of his brain, Tommy decided to retire from his notorious life of crime. He handed over his business to his sister, Ada, and even blew up the family home to make way for Birmingham’s working class. Withdrawing from his tumultuous life, Tommy sought solitude, hoping to spend his remaining days with his horses in a gypsy caravan.

While in isolation, Tommy experienced a hallucination of his deceased daughter, Ruby, which offered him some clarity. It was revealed that his doctor, Dr. Holford, was actually a member of the British Union of Fascists and an associate of Oswald Mosley. The doctor had deceitfully convinced Tommy of his terminal illness, aiming to drive him to suicide.
