1. Alfie Solomon's miraculous return from a gunshot in season 4

In season 4, the finale scene shows Tommy Shelby shooting Alfie Solomans on Margate Beach, and everybody thought that he was dead. Alfie figuratively returns in season 5, but he is now very scarred with one eye blinded. He survived by consuming drugs and hiding in favours on the seafront of Margate. The resurrection of Alfie was harrowing since he was shot in the face by Tommy at close quarters. His reappearance demonstrates that even the Belligerents of the hardest opponents could not escape death in Peaky Blinders.

Alfie is an invaluable friend once more when Tommy cannot take his plan against Oswald Mosley without his men. The reasons why this comeback only enhances the respect between the two competitors are that Alfie is probably among the very few men who can really understand Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders.
