. With anticipation at a fever pitch, the first episode of the sixth and final season debuted tonight local time in the UK, providing a first glimpse of how things may tie up for the Shelby family — and importantly paying tribute to starwho passed away last year following a battle with cancer. The premiere episode is dedicated to her.
The woman on the phone insists, “We need to keep Mr Mosley alive… Also, you should know that saving Mosley’s life wasn’t our only intervention last night — we’ve made some changes to the structure of your organization.” The family then gathers at a funeral pyre where Polly is being cremated inside a Gypsy caravan — we do not see McCrory who only appears in flashback scenes from previous seasons. As the flames grow, Polly’s son, Michael Gray , swears revenge on Tommy, “no matter what it takes, no matter how many lies I have to tell.”
Waiting for Michael to turn up for the meeting, Tommy hears Aunt Polly’s warning in his head: “There will be a war, and one of you will die, but which one I cannot tell.” When Michael appears, he admonishes Tommy for not having yet avenged Aunt Polly’s murder. Tommy’s response: “You know, Michael, when you’re dealing with a very powerful enemy taking revenge sometimes requires time. You have to pick your moment; that moment will come.
One of Michael’s team says they will have to take the proposal to “Uncle Jack” in Boston. Tommy retorts of this mysterious uncle, “Perhaps we can meet in Boston after you’ve spoke with him, who I believe, Michael, is your wife’s uncle.”
God Bless Helen Mccrory. She was an amazing talent
