What is the plot?

The episode opens in Spain, where Michael is driving Ronnie through the countryside as the two men talk business and try to keep up appearances while the wider crew is away on a combined trip that is part holiday, part work. Ronnie is still treating Michael as his trusted right-hand man, but the atmosphere is already strained because the organization is under pressure back in Liverpool after a shipment has gone missing and the money trail is in disorder.

Michael and Ronnie discuss the Amigos and how they should handle their European partners, while the episode makes clear that Michael's proposed sea-transfer method for moving drugs and cash, designed to avoid customs attention, has not stopped the operation from being disrupted. The missing shipment has created mistrust inside the group, and everyone's position is becoming less secure.

The wives and girlfriends remain away from the main action for the moment, while the men's conversations reveal that the business is no longer stable. Ronnie's authority is being tested, and Michael's sense that the organization is wobbling beneath him becomes more obvious as the trip continues.

Back in the criminal hierarchy, the tension around succession is sharpened by Jamie's presence. He is still pushing for influence and does not want Michael positioned to inherit Ronnie's place, while Elaine continues to back her son and defend his claim. The episode reinforces that family loyalty is pulling against business logic, and that every conversation is now loaded with suspicion.

The missing shipment in Liverpool is treated as evidence that someone inside or close to the firm may be acting against the rest of the group. The loss has thrown the finances off balance, and the resulting uncertainty feeds the resentment already building between Michael, Jamie, and the rest of the family.

The episode's pressure points continue to build around Davy, who is brought before Ronnie after Michael helps him to his feet and leads him into the ruin. Ronnie accuses Davy of selling on the side, while Davy denies it. Michael then presses the situation further, forcing the accusation into the open and increasing the sense that betrayal may be coming from inside the organization itself.

As the episode progresses, the confrontation over loyalty does not resolve cleanly. Instead, the suspicion spreads, and the central question becomes who can still be trusted now that the shipment has vanished and the business is beginning to fragment.

The Spain storyline ends with the crew still trying to preserve order while the cracks in the empire remain unresolved. No one gets a clean victory, and the episode closes with the organization more unstable than it was at the start, with Michael, Ronnie, Jamie, and the others all pulled deeper into the same conflict over control, loyalty, and survival.

What is the ending?

The ending of Episode 2 turns violent. Ronnie shoots Davy dead, and Michael comes back to find Davy's body on the floor while Ronnie refuses to explain what Davy said.

Earlier in the same ending sequence, Michael is already on edge because Ronnie and Jamie are getting closer, and he fears he is being pushed aside. The episode has been building toward that break in trust: Ronnie is talking about retirement, Michael believes he should be the one to inherit the business, and Jamie is also being positioned as a possible successor.

Scene by scene, the final stretch plays out like this:

  • Michael and Ronnie are traveling together through the countryside on the way to meet the Amigos, and the tension around the missing shipment and the future of the business is still hanging over them.
  • The argument and distrust around the gang's problems continue to sharpen, with the stolen shipment, the money trouble, and the question of who can be trusted driving the conflict forward.
  • Davy is confronted, and he says he had promised everything would be sorted out.
  • Ronnie responds by shooting him multiple times.
  • Michael rushes back inside and finds Davy dead.
  • Michael asks what Davy said, but Ronnie shuts him down and tells him it does not matter.

By the end of the episode, Davy is dead, Ronnie remains in control and gives no explanation, Michael is left shaken and increasingly threatened, and Jamie is still in the running as Ronnie's possible successor.
