As Force continues to increase the stakes, Tommy Egan and Claudia Flynn’s deadly rivalry reaches a boiling point. A cold war of mistrust that started as such turns into betrayal, psychological warfare, and a violent confrontation tied to one of the most emotional losses in the series: Liliana. Tommy seeks revenge not for business or turf, but for his friend, as we explore the episode.
Tommy Egan’s Declaration of War: Claudia Flynn Must Pay
Tommy Egan has faced enemies before, but his hatred towards Claudia is unique. Her actions led to the murder of Liliana, the ride-or-die ally Tommy trusted as family. That crime is more than just unforgivable for Tommy; it’s personal. Tommy is unfazed by Claudia’s attempts to manipulate the situation and play survival chess. He doesn’t need to convince her to meet. He needs her to suffer.
Their tense call reveals Tommy’s lethal confidence:
“If I wanted you dead, you never would’ve made it through last night.”
There are no empty threats here. Claudia’s life is now on Tommy time.
The Attempted Setup: Empty Lot, Full Lies
The intersection between 16th Street and Canal Street is the perfect Chicago desert for bodies to vanish. Tommy recognizes the perimeter immediately after Stacy deploys agents everywhere. His reaction? Disgust.
“I also said come alone. I ain’t gonna f* with you if you can’t play it straight.”
Tommy sees Claudia as a pawn attempting to impersonate a queen. She is left feeling embarrassed, exposed, and more desperate than ever before.
Tommy Egan vs. Elise: The Million-Dollar Offer
Claudia’s desperate situation causes her to make reckless decisions, and Tommy exploits her. Elise, Claudia’s girlfriend, is under pressure. Tommy confronts her with the harsh truth:
“You think she love you, but she don’t. She gonna kill you… just like she did our Dahlia connect.”
He gives up on the million-dollar temptation, balancing survival with Claudia’s sins. Elise cracks, just enough to give Tommy what he wants. Not loyalty. Not love. Information.
Claudia Flynn’s Paranoia Grows: Trusting No One, Including Stacy Marks
Claudia believes that collaborating with prosecutor-turned-candidate Stacy Marks will safeguard her. In exchange for Claudia’s cooperation, Mark promises to offer protection and political favors. However, the alliance’s foundation is not stable. Tommy’s disappearance is Stacy’s objective. Being in charge is what Claudia wants. They lack trust in each other.
Stacy is in the process of setting up what she believes will be the final takedown.
“Tommy Egan is a noxious, toxic piece of garbage. No one will cry crocodile tears over his grave.”
But Claudia sees the cracks forming. She knows the feds are playing angles… and she knows Tommy isn’t stupid enough to walk into a trap without smelling the wires.
The Confrontation: Claudia Makes the First Deadly Move
Claudia is confident that she has finally regained the upper hand and enters Tommy’s loft armed with a gun. She makes fun of him with taunts.
“Everyone always underestimating me.”
Tommy allows her to speak because he understands that Claudia is driven by ego rather than strategy. She confesses, full of pride, that she killed Liliana. That is what seals her fate. Tommy’s verdict is delivered quietly yet powerfully.
“You really are the baddest Flynn… but this is for my friend.”
One shot. One moment. One promise fulfilled.
Liliana is avenged.
