The Peaky Blinders are lured by the Italians into a cat-and-mouse chase on the streets of Birmingham, where it becomes clear that Tommy has met his match. Trapped in Small Heath, Tommy tries to console himselfwith a visit from an old flame but it soon becomes clear that he can't always get what he wants. As his factory lies idle, Tommy confronts the possibility that the Communists might win and he will be deemed a traitor to his class. Meanwhile, Changretta prepares to spring another trap. (BBC)

The British mafia vs the Italian mafia. Plus the return of Hardy and May. Also worth mentioning is the communist activist Jesse Eden.

This was a strange episode. I don't think I've ever seen so many traps in one episode of a series (a trap for Arthur, a trap for the Italians, a trap for Michael, and another trap for the Italians). The plot started at a fast pace, then was somewhat unnecessarily slowed down by May's arrival, so I was considering giving it four stars, but I had to add one more for the "bad ass" Ada.
