As a serial adulterer, Conrad has wronged Maeve for seemingly a long time, and as a proud Irish matriarch it is not out of the realm of chance that she can be concerned along with his rival. In actual fact, we have already seen her collaborate with Richie to kill Seraphina, Conrad’s beloved daughter. Elsewhere, the Harrigan household lawyer O’Hara Delaney (Lisa Dwan) shouldn’t be with out suspicion, as she is aware of all of the Harrigan secrets and techniques and was the truth is the one to name out the truth that the Harrigans have a rat within the household. That is a great start line to throw the scent off herself.
One of many extra intriguing prospects is Harry Da Souza, who’s clearly next-level sharp, and seemingly two steps forward of everybody he is available in contact with. Seeing Conrad unravel up-close might be sufficient of a motivation for him to start working with Richie, particularly if Harry felt his spouse and daughter weren’t protected round Conrad, which is undoubtedly true. He has appeared utterly loyal to this point, however whether or not that is professional or a carefully-calculated deception is up for debate.
Which Harrigans We Can Safely Rule Out
Different Characters Make No Sense As Stevenson Allies
It feels fairly protected to rule out Conrad after all, and provided that Eddie murdered his son (on Maeve’s orders), chances are high slim to none that Eddie is concerned with Richie Stevenson in any approach. Primarily based totally on what we have seen to this point, Jan’s story with Alice proves that she would not have the guile to tug off a long-form betrayal and deception, so she additionally feels fairly protected to rule out. Seraphina is totally loyal to her father and has no actual motivation to betray him, and provided that Richie virtually butchered her alive, she would not appear to be a chance.

Janet McTeer’s mysterious new character Kat burst onto the scene in episode 7 of MobLand, and one idea about her id explains her energy.
Kevin Harrigan clearly has no love for his father, and has one thing bordering on outright hate for his mom based mostly on their interactions. He might need purpose to want for his or her downfall, however he additionally would not be protected from Richie’s wrath because the presumed subsequent in line to the Harrigan throne. Whereas Kevin was justifiably livid over his son’s homicide of Richie’s son Tommy, it appears like a step too far to assume he can be working with Richie to make a transfer in opposition to his father.
Last Prediction: Maeve Has Been Working With Richie
She’s Already Confirmed She Can’t Be Trusted
Maeve has been behind nearly each transfer that has weakened Conrad’s place or his stability, beginning all the best way again in episode 1 of MobLand with Conrad’s homicide of his buddy Archie Hammond. She has confirmed already that she was prepared to place her personal beloved son’s life in danger if it meant hurting Conrad by taking his daughter from him as soon as and for all. That degree of satisfaction and malice cannot be reasoned with, and it appears completely cheap to assume that Maeve would work together with her husband’s rival if it meant vengeance for his a long time of infidelity.
The conclusion of the (hopefully) first season of MobLand ought to lastly reveal who has been undermining the Harrigans from inside, however all proof factors to it being Maeve.
It has been talked about a number of occasions that Maeve and Richie have a historical past, so it is attainable that her betrayal has been percolating for some time. Richie elected to not inform Conrad that it was Maeve who was accountable for Brendan and Seraphina’s kidnapping and homicide/near-murder, which might make a ton of sense if he was nonetheless of extra use to him as a mole.
