Spoilers: Here Is How the Chaotic 'Mobland' Season Finale Went Down

The first season finale of Mobland brought everything together in an intense hour packed with bloodshed, betrayal, and a few twists. Chiefly, we now know that Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) is no rat —- he remains loyal to all the Harrigans —- and Kevin Harrigan finally finds some closure. He stands up to his father and begins to assume a leadership role within the family. This is exactly why one of the greatest character actors alive, Paddy Considine, was cast as Kevin. By the end of the episode, the Stevensons are eliminated, the Harrigans have turned on one another, and Harry has a new enemy in Kat McAllister.

The episode opens with Kevin unloading his lifelong grievances onto the corpse of his prison abuser. He rails against his parents —- Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Helen Mirren) —- his wife Bella (Lara Pulver), and Eddie (Anson Boone), who he now knows isn’t his son but Conrad’s. “My son is my brother, my wife is my dad’s sloppy seconds,” he says, and his mum “worked on [Eddie’s] head until he became a monster, like her.” Kevin resolves to take control of the family while Conrad and Maeve are locked up.

He wastes no time. Kevin calls in Harry, who quickly cleans up the murder scene and relocates their loved ones —- Jan, Bella, and Gina — to a secure location. Harry then confronts the real rat: family lawyer O’Hara Delaney (Lisa Dwan). He’s known the truth for a while, and now he uses O’Hara as bait to bring down Ritchie Stevenson in a series of double-crosses he orchestrates with Kevin. But first, Kevin pays Conrad a visit.

The prison conversation between Kevin and Conrad is the episode’s centerpiece. Considine is so f**king good here. Kevin tells Conrad that Archie wasn’t the rat —- O’Hara was — catching his father off guard. Then he reminds Conrad how he turned him into a monster and lays out the new order: Eddie is now Conrad’s problem, and Kevin is done pretending to respect or follow him. When Conrad and Maeve get out of prison, Kevin warns, they’ll be walking into a different world. “My world. And in that world, Conrad, people pay for everything.”

Elsewhere, Maeve meets with Eddie from her prison and drops two bombs: He’s not Kevin’s son — he’s Conrad’s — and therefore, Maeve and Eddie aren’t blood relatives. She makes an unsettling implication before giving him his marching orders: “You have to kill Harry, and then Seraphina. It’s a new world order, and in that order, you are the King, and I am the Queen.” Ick?

Eddie nearly kills Bella for keeping the truth from him. Meanwhile, Seraphina quietly suggests to Kat that she might be ready to switch sides, doubting the Harrigans’ ability to win the war.

She’s wrong. But first, Tattersall (Toby Jones) —- a dirty cop working with the Stevensons —- eliminates Alice (Emily Barber), the undercover officer who planted false DNA evidence on Conrad and Maeve. Fortunately, Harry knew Alice was a cop. He recorded her admitting to the setup, which could eventually exonerate Conrad and Maeve.

With their plan in motion, Kevin and Harry use O’Hara to trap Ritchie’s men in a final ambush. Then they kill both Ritchie and O’Hara, wiping out the Stevensons once and for all. In a prison phone call, Maeve tries to spin the whole thing as her plan, claiming she was testing Conrad the entire time. She is evil.

But there’s still unfinished business. Harry owes Kat McTeer a favor. She tries to cash it in by asking him to help destroy the Harrigans. Harry refuses, saying Kevin is his friend and she can go f**k herself — though Kat slyly hints that Seraphina is now working with her.

And so, the dust settles. The Stevensons are gone. A new war with Kat McTeer looms. Inside the Harrigan family, a power struggle brews as Kevin rises and Maeve turns Eddie against Harry and Seraphina.

Two final threads remain: Bella and Kevin agree to stay united, bonded by the shared trauma of abusive fathers.

Meanwhile, Jan confronts Harry over how his loyalty to the Harrigans has endangered their family and marriage. Furious and overwhelmed, she accidentally stabs him in the chest. Harry insists he’s fine, even cracking a joke: she now has his “complete attention.” My guess is that the Harry’s season ends with a knife in the chest just in case Tom Hardy doesn’t return for a second season.

In the last scene, we see inmates in the prison cheering for Conrad —- now a legend for taking out the Stevensons. He’s being feted as a hero, and once he’s out, Kevin will have a much harder time keeping him in check.

Season two hasn’t been announced yet, but it will be. The show’s a bit hit for Paramount+, and there’s no way they’re walking away from this cast or the war with Kat McCallister. Paramount+ can’t put all its eggs in the Taylor Sheridan basket.
