The latest episode of Netflix's "The Gentlemen," Season 2 Episode 6, titled "The Bells of San Domenico," culminates in the tragic death of Eddie's new bride, Bella, in a plane bombing. This event casts a dark shadow over Eddie's burgeoning criminal empire and raises questions about who orchestrated the fatal attack.
Suspects Emerge After Wedding Tragedy
The episode meticulously builds towards the wedding festivities, a lavish affair where characters are impeccably dressed, highlighting the series' noted attention to cinematography and costuming. However, beneath the surface of celebration, simmering tensions and potential threats loom. Among the possible culprits for Bella's death are vengeful associates of Tancredi, a guest Eddie killed early in the episode. Another suspect is Angelica, Boss Moretti's consigliere, who threatened to expose Eddie unless he rerouted proceeds through her Hong Kong contacts. Eddie thwarted her plan by revealing her husband's involvement in skimming from the organization.
The Glass Family's Shadow
Perhaps the most significant threat comes from the Glass family. Susie Glass, accompanied by her father and associates, warns Eddie against expanding his business into territory her father would consider competition. Despite Eddie's assurances, Susie reports to her father that Eddie cannot be trusted due to his inherent ambition, foreshadowing further conflict and potential retaliation. The narrative also hints at Susie's personal feelings, questioning if her actions stem from jealousy over Eddie's new marriage.
Unforeseen Complications
Amidst the personal drama, Eddie also grapples with the expanding criminal enterprise. His nanny discovers the estate houses a significant operation involving aristo weed farms, a secret that Charly is forced to reveal to Eddie. This revelation underscores the scale of the illegal activities Eddie has become entangled in.
A Devastating Climax
The episode's climax occurs during a spontaneous car and plane race between Eddie and Bella on their way to Switzerland. The bomb, intended for Eddie's plane, detonated prematurely, killing Bella. It is speculated that the perpetrators believed Eddie would be aboard, making Bella the unintended victim of his criminal entanglements. The episode concludes with the understanding that Eddie's retribution will likely be swift and severe, though the possibility remains that Marco Moretti might blame Eddie for his goddaughter's death, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
