It starts and is absolutely relentless. And there\u2019s a lot going on. It\u2019s a really busy episode. And it\u2019s Tommy Shelby highly motivated and putting everything in motion. And then 6 is revenge. That\u2019s how I kind of view it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exactly whose revenge Byrne is talking about is unclear. Could it be Tommy, seeking revenge against the <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/peaky-blinders-billy-grade-traitor-explained\/&quot;\">Black Cat<\/a> for his betrayal? Or Michael, who blames Tommy for his mother\u2019s death, and is on a vendetta to kill him? Or could it be someone else entirely? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\"
