Mobland: Sending Gina to Ireland Could Make Harry Maeve's Most Patient Enemy

Maeve has included Harry's own daughter, Gina, in a very dangerous mission in Kerry, Ireland, and in the episode 5 trailer, I don't see Harry giving her permission to send his daughter. Using Eddie was just part of Maeve's emotional games and testing, but including Harry's daughter is like declaring war inside the family.

Maeve has spent years trying to push Harry out of the Harrigan business

Maeve and Harry have had this tension for years, with Maeve constantly telling Conrad that Harry isn't worth running the family's business. She knows Harry is the one solving the family's biggest problems, but because she wants the family weakened and broken, she has always had plans to remove him from the equation. Now that she's convinced Conrad that Harry isn't worth it, she has gone further and pulled his daughter into the Kerry mission.

Conrad losing it over Harry doesn't mean Harry is out of the family business. Remember the moment Conrad asks Harry whether he's conniving to bring his family down? Harry's response was that all this fighting inside the family is exactly how they lose. Conrad wasn't even listening, because he's confused about whether to trust Harry or Maeve. So he took matters into his own hands, going to another man's business with one of his own men and shooting that man's men there. That was the moment Conrad decided not to include Harry in his business anymore, and that's what Maeve has always wanted.

Sending Gina without Harry's approval could trigger war from Harry's side

Harry knows Maeve doesn't really like him. But for her to go to extreme lengths to use his daughter in her own selfish business deals is something Harry can't stand. In the episode 5 trailer, I don't see Harry giving Maeve permission to send Gina to travel with Eddie on a specific mission, yet Maeve includes her in a mission that involves guns. Imagine your boss's wife doesn't like you, and she includes your own daughter in a mission without your approval. How would you feel, and what's the first thing you'd do?

Harry is the one man who keeps his head when everybody around him is losing theirs. Most of us would burst out in anger and do something we'd regret later. I don't know what Harry will actually do when he hears about this. But looking at the way Conrad and Maeve have lost trust in him after everything he's carried for this family, this mission could trigger war from Harry's side. He has tolerated a lot from Maeve for a long time, with every meeting making him look less useful to the family. He can handle the humiliations and the dangerous operations, but one involving his own daughter is something he won't take lightly.

I think this should be the moment Harry shows the family that certain decisions come with consequences, and some of them are very hard to undo. I believe when Harry teaches Maeve a lesson, she'll start treating him with respect, and not as someone who just gets a paycheck and does his job. Including Gina smells like a setup to me, because sending someone on a mission without telling her what it's about seems like a hidden agenda.

Gina agreed to the Kerry trip without asking what it was for

Maeve is sending both Gina and her boyfriend, but doesn't Gina deserve to know the truth behind that mission? My main concern is the person living inside the Irish house in Kerry. That person can decide whether Gina stays outside or comes inside, since the deal doesn't include her, and that's something she must be willing to accept.

One thing I still find confusing is that Gina has no second thoughts. She knows Eddie deals with criminals, and Maeve, who is part of the head team in the Harrigan criminal organization, has sent them both on a trip. Why wouldn't she ask what it's about? She went all in knowing exactly who Maeve is. Is it because she loves Eddie, or because she can't be alone while he's gone? I still don't get it. But I believe she joined because of the lie Eddie told her, that they're going to meet his longtime friend in Kerry.

Maeve didn't bother telling Gina anything, since she has no interest in dealing with her. That's why I think Gina might be in danger, and now that she's joined, she must be willing to live with the consequences. Does Maeve even want Gina and Eddie to return from Ireland together, when the one thing Maeve needs is control over Eddie? I've already gone through how Gina sitting beside him loosens that grip, so here I only care about what the trailer adds.

Eddie's phone call with Maeve is where he loses my sympathy

The episode 5 trailer puts Eddie on a phone call with Maeve. Afterwards, Gina asks what was said, and Eddie denies her the correct answer and distracts her so she stops asking. Isn't that concerning? I'm very sure Maeve has instructed Eddie not to tell Gina anything about the mission. That alone is dangerous enough for Gina to start second guessing the whole thing. Eddie refuses to tell her the exact reason they're in Ireland, which leaves her in suspense. I pray nothing happens to her.

This is where Eddie loses my sympathy. I thought he was very loyal and loving, but what's been happening recently has made me think otherwise. He can manipulate Gina in a way that keeps her loving him without suspecting a thing. I believe Maeve thought Eddie had this attribute, because I didn't see it coming from him. Maeve can instruct him, and because he doesn't want to go against her words, he manipulates Gina and keeps her in the relationship. He has leverage over her, since she has no idea who he truly is.

Why treat a girl who is loyal, and who even does the talking for your business in London, like that? Imagine Gina finds out who Eddie really is. I'm sure I'll lose sympathy for Gina too, because she'll show no mercy to Eddie and Maeve. You can look down on someone because you were able to play mind games with them, but the moment they find out will be your worst day.

Maeve's mind games may push Eddie to see who she really is

The trailer also shows Maeve challenging Eddie's courage to run the mission she ordered. Someone can call you a fair knight only to see you as a fair loser. That's manipulation at its peak, and I think it's more than enough for Eddie to start adding things up about who Maeve really is. The person you're taking a bullet for might be the same person behind the gun, and by the time you realize it, you're finished.

I keep going back to Eddie and Gina's departure in episode 4. Maeve withholding the real reason behind it from both of them makes me question her motive. Withholding it makes them more resistant and curious, which must backfire later. Then again, telling them the secret could give them second thoughts and stop them from taking part in the first place.

Gina needs more information on who to trust, because even Eddie has turned into something else. Her shocked reaction makes my heart skip a beat. I don't actually know what she sees, whether it's Eddie killing someone in front of the door or someone dead at the door; I can't confirm that yet. Early days in Kerry, enjoying your evening, only to find a weapon or threat at the door. That confirms my point that this mission is very dangerous. Maeve's major goal needs Eddie detached, and I'm angry at both of them for the roles they're playing now that Gina is caught in the middle.

Who sent Gina to Kerry could start a big fight in the Harrigan family

Harry needs to know whether Eddie is protecting his daughter, whether she's participating in the mission, and who sent them there in the first place. That answer could start a big fight. My own suspicion is that Harry's reaction would be something like this: someone who doesn't like or trust me had the guts to send my daughter without telling me first; what if something happens to Gina? I will never accept this.

And with Maeve, there's one thing I don't understand: why include Gina at all? Someone she resists and barely wants in her business with Eddie in London has suddenly been brought into one of her biggest and most dangerous missions. That doesn't sit well with me. I've looked at the Eddie side of that question before, so this time I want to look at it from Harry's side.

Maeve might want Gina as leverage over Harry

Maeve might want leverage over Harry, since Gina is now in her hands. Knowing his daughter's whereabouts, she could later use that to gain some kind of favor from him. As long as Harry has no idea Gina is in danger, nothing forces him to react or get desperate. He'd first have to ask Maeve whether his daughter is safe before any leverage comes into play.

Maeve should be careful if this is her plan, because holding his daughter hostage for a favor could come back to bite her. When it comes to smartness and intelligence, I don't think Maeve has more than Harry. She can gain leverage over him while he's digging her grave on the other side. Thinking she's already won just because he isn't shouting or making moves could backfire against Harry's silent and systematic approach to solving problems.

I always admire the way Harry works, smart and efficient. You might think his job isn't difficult because of the way he carries it out, but put you and me in those jobs and we'd fall apart before we even started.

Harry's warning to Eddie about Gina might come true

Considering Eddie is Maeve's grandson and not her actual son, I think Harry still sees Eddie's life as a waste in the Harrigan family. He still has the Harrigan respect for Eddie and wouldn't do anything to compromise that. But if Eddie does something bad to Gina, the confrontation Harry had with Eddie about being careful with his daughter might come true: he'll bring Eddie down after he climbs to the top. That's still sticking in Eddie's mind.

Once he knows Gina is safe, Harry will start investigating whoever is trying to get leverage on him, and if that's Maeve, she has to be prepared for his mind games. If Maeve conceals the risk from Harry and he finds out later, it could destroy the trust he has in the Harrigan family. At their next emergency meeting, things won't go as planned, because Harry will have to tackle an issue involving his own daughter that the family never told him about.

Paul overhearing Maeve's call could unravel her mission

In the trailer, Paul eavesdrops on Maeve's phone call with Eddie, where Maeve says: "Please do not make me sit through this man knowing something useful and keeping it to himself while everything catches fire." That sounded like Maeve not wanting to lose her business deals in Ireland and surrender to being the usual wife to Conrad while the family is catching fire. Paul heard what Maeve said but not what Eddie said. Still, the conversation tells me things aren't going well for Maeve's mission with Eddie.

Now that Paul knows about the secret mission, he can tell Harry, since Eddie is involved, and if Eddie is involved, Gina automatically is too. Harry hearing it from Paul and not the family wouldn't be good, because he could pretend not to know anything while planning his own mission behind their backs. His daughter comes before the family.

Maeve has everyone thinking a certain way about her mission and controls what Eddie and Gina hear. Paul now knows things outside the picture they've painted, and that could destroy the mission all at once. As long as Eddie and Gina have their own versions in their heads, Maeve has the lead; once those versions differ from what she's plotting, things could get worse. That doesn't make Paul a hero. He rode with Conrad when they shot up Frankie's men, so he's Conrad's man first. He can tell Conrad, tell Maeve, or stay quiet. But the one thing I'm sure about is Paul informing Harry about the danger his daughter is in.

Maeve may want to see Harry lose control

Maeve could be making Harry lose balance and control after he hears Gina is out of the country, engaged in dangerous business deals with criminals in Ireland. He'd have to choose between going to save his daughter or ignoring her and focusing on the fights the family is battling in London. Maybe that's Maeve's whole plan: to see him break apart and lose control so she can come in as the family's savior, proving Harry had no value in its operations and that she has even bigger plans. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens.

If Harry learns what Maeve has engaged his daughter in, he can still save Conrad's life, but he might reach a different conclusion about Maeve. I can assure you of that. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry plans on killing Maeve after this, because her mission could get Gina killed. If Harry has to choose between Gina and Maeve, no one has to tell you whose life he'd protect.

How Harry handles Gina could decide whether Maeve's plan survives

Gina's pain later shouldn't be an excuse for Harry to be angry. If he truly wants to know what happened, he shouldn't burst out over why she followed Eddie without knowing what the trip was about. That would stop her from explaining and cost him the one leverage he has for getting answers. I'm curious whether Harry will have a call with Gina without arguing with Eddie, which would make her feel more relaxed and trusted, since she's expecting a lecture rather than direct questions. That's something he needs to work out for a healthy relationship with his daughter.

Gina's answers could destroy Maeve's whole plan. Paul can warn Harry, but Gina can explain everything, from what was withheld from her to what Maeve's mission is really about. I don't think Gina will make it out without getting hurt; she might have to fight her way back to London. Getting back wouldn't mean Maeve approves, only that Maeve couldn't break her. That's my theory on why Maeve might want Gina dead: Gina coming out alive could destroy her plots. Gina traveled with Eddie and no one in the family was told, which seems like a secret plot to me.

My money is on Harry making a silent move against Maeve

Put it all together and the picture is ugly. Maeve didn't put Gina on that trip for Eddie's sake, and she didn't do it by accident. She did it so that the day Harry finally pushes back, she already has something of his in her hands. That's no longer family business. It's a hostage without handcuffs, and Harry is the last man in this family you want to try that on.

Will Harry travel to Ireland to give Eddie a beating for pulling his daughter into a dangerous mission, or will he plan a silent move against Maeve? My money is on the silent move. Maeve just turned the most loyal man in the Harrigan family into her most patient enemy.

Which way do you think Harry goes: after Eddie in Ireland, or a silent move against Maeve?
