The primary entry in this index is . Unlike previous seasons, where ghosts were psychological metaphors, Season 6 literalizes them. The index would list “Ruby’s death” not merely as a plot point but as a catalyst that shatters Tommy’s rationality. Her ghost, wreathed in the glow of the Black Lion’s fire, becomes a recurring chapter heading. Similarly, “Polly Gray” (the late Helen McCrory) appears as a spectral absence—her letters, her empty chair, her voice in opium dreams. The indexical function here is to show that the past is not prologue; it is a recurring footnote that refuses to be closed. Tommy’s hallucinated diagnosis of a tuberoma—a fatal brain tumor—is the index’s cruelest trick: it is a lie born of his own self-destructive need to see an ending. The thematic weight of this entry is clear: a man who has indexed every enemy, every transaction, and every assassination cannot index his own soul.
The final season consists of six episodes, each detailing Tommy's descent into a high-stakes "power game" with fascists and international gangsters. 'Peaky Blinders' Season 6 Finale: Tommy's Ending Explained
