A marriage far from idyllic and filled with tensions, the latter being unable to bring himself to completely forget his first wife. Many times humiliated and rejected, Ruby's mother – who also takes care of her stepson Charles – has suffered countless deceptions from her husband . Real disappointments which ended up destroying all his hopes of winning the heart of the brigand (by scratching his own in the process). Yet the young woman has repeatedly proven that she is capable of defending herself when it comes to defending her interests. Besides being afraid of seeing her family collapse, Lizzie is also worried about Tommy's fragile psychological health.

Seeing her husband in prey to many hallucinations, she tried several times in season 5 to warn him of his actions. To the point of plotting against him to defeat his most dangerous plan? It is a possible answer! Especially when we remember that the young woman asked “ to be able to get into her head” , as if to know his plans in advance .

Finally, it is important to note that in attempting to assassinate Oswald Mosley, Tommy chased a “big fish”. The latter showed his insatiable thirst for power by moving from petty crime to affairs of state with far more serious repercussions. A madness that threatens the entire Shelby family (especially his wife and children) and that only a resounding failure could stop. What do you think ?
