The recently released penultimate episode of MobLand was titled "Beggars Banquet" and delivered an intense buildup to the upcoming season finale. While the ongoing war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons enters a brief period of lull, the latest episode of MobLand saw undercover agent Nicola, also known as Alice, accepting the dinner invitation from Conrad and visiting the London crime family at their mansion in the Cottswolds. The episode also illustrated another shade of Harry Da Souza's shifting loyalty. Here's everything that you need to know about the latest episode.


MobLand: The identity of the Harrigan family mole is finally revealed

As the previous episodes of MobLand portrayed, the police seek to destroy the Harrigans after finding them at a disadvantage in their war against Richie Stevenson. The police even teamed up with Richie, despite the killing of the two former investigating officers. While Alice initially expresses her reluctance to visit the Harrigans for dinner at the Cottswolds, she is soon manipulated into believing that she can't help but work undercover. Thereafter, Alice visits the Harrigans, and the dinner soon spirals into a tense showdown.

Maeve and Conrad erupt into a heated exchange after Maeve insults Seraphina. Alice excused herself from the table and was soon discovered by Harry to be gathering DNA evidence to put the Conrad crime family away. Although he has been fiercely loyal to the Harrigans, Harry let Alice go for some reason, and the police tactical team soon descended upon the mansion to arrest Conrad and Maeve. While they were being taken to the police cars in handcuffs on the latest episode of MobLand, both Maeve and Conrad were caught singing an Irish song about undermining authority.

On the other hand, Harry was alerted multiple times by Freddie and even Jaime that there was a mole in the Harrigan family. After calling up the family lawyer, an element of premonition crossed Harry's mind, and he called her to discuss something in person. This might be a hint to Harry's suspicion that she might be the mole.


Kevin confronts his past demons on the latest episode of MobLand

The latest episode of MobLand also saw Kevin confronting his past demons. Throughout the last two episodes, Kevin has been remarkably off the grid and hasn't been able to play an active part in his family's war. He stopped answering Harry's calls and went off on his own to locate the prison guard who had sexually assaulted him back in the boy's reform facility where he had once been housed with Harry.

Upon finally locating the now-retired prison guard by disguising himself as a cab driver, Kevin was overcome with emotion for a time. The guard kept repeating that he was a changed man and that there were gaps in his memory. However, Kevin flew off the handle when the guard asked him if he had any children, and ended up shooting him.
