Her telling Kevin

---

This is why I question it’s actually Eddie. What mother would do that? Besides Maeve

I’m probably overthinking it, but that seems too obvious. Gotta be some connection to something else we aren’t privy to yet

If the rat were the attorney why would Harry care about protecting her when he found out the identity last week?

Interesting theory I read, they did go out of their way to mention the place has camera everywhere, which is why Harry is fine letting the undercover woman go with the evidence, and why he’s meeting with the lawyer the next morning.

Kevin could be the rat and that’s why Harry was so adamant about his maid’s mother getting in that nursing home. He knew hearing that guard’s name would send him down a dark path.

Why would people tell Harry that there is a rat if they know he’s the rat?

He didn’t have a choice with Alice, what was he going to do? Kill her while he knew there was a police convoy 1 minute out?

Freddie wanting to get out was too much of a risk.

IMO, he didn’t mention that the rat was a condition of the deal because he was going to take care of the rat, therefore the condition didn’t matter.

Maybe he knew that she was being recorded? Or, maybe he knows the family is a shitshow and is on the way out. That doesn’t mean that he’s the rat, but the fact that there is a rat is just another reason that the family is going to fail.

Oh I don’t think he’s the rat I’m just saying he let her go with ease knowing what she’s up to

I think he knows there’s video evidence of her collecting it so he let her walk with it to hang herself and tattersall.

Just starting to think this is all a giant head fake and he ends up sticking with Conrad and not looking for an escape hatch, which will make Kat the antagonist in season 2.

I just wouldn't understand that line of thinking for his character, especially after the way that the show has made it clear that Harry can clearly see that Conrad and Maeve are destroying everything around them and are both BSC. I get that Harry is loyal, but you can't be loyal to someone who is imploding the way that Conrad is, especially when he knows that his wife and daughter are in Conrad's (and Maeve's) crosshairs.

I think that he let the narc go because it's an easy out for him if the cops can pin a murder on Conrad, and with Conrad out of the way Harry would have Kevin & Seraphina on his side to help combat Maeve's crazy a$$ if she gets out of jail. And with Conrad out of the way, Harry probably feels like he could essentially run the whole Harrigan empire with Kevin being basically the figure head leader. A potential roadblock would be if Seraphina gets weary of Harry, and tries to get in-between Harry and Kevin. I guess another roadblock would be if Kevin goes down for killing the rapist guy. But I think the endgame of this is either Harry takes control of the Harrigan emipre, or burns it down so that he and his family can get out.

I think this is ultimately what he's going to want to do.

It's probably what he's going to have to do, especially if Kevin either gets taken out or turns on Harry (Kevin's wife will probably also be another issue for Kevin and Harry's relationship). But I think at this point in the story Harry is hoping that him & Kevin can salvage the empire. Again though, it probably won't work out like that for Harry, and he'll have to burn it all down.

Also bringing up Kevin’s wife…why exactly would Paul fear her?

---

She may rank higher than him in the family due to her being The Governor's former (?) mistress and the mother of Eddie (whoever his father really is). Plus she's shown a talent for blackmail.

Maybe but I don’t think so, him going to Eddie to get the full story about what Maeve’s been up to prior to the dinner suggests otherwise. Remember he’s been suspicious of her from the get go and has blown up on her for some of the stuff he’s found out along the way. He’s covered for her in front of the family but he may have done that to save face.
