"Episode 2.3" is the third episode of the second series of Peaky Blinders and the ninth episode overall. It aired on October 16, 2014.
Whilst Irish gangs fight each other in Birmingham, Arthur is threatened by the mother of the boy he killed in the boxing match and who is not appeased by promises of money.
The Irish factions continue to fight amongst each other in Birmingham. Campbell insists to Moss that he doesn't regret what happened with Grace and that he doesn't have any bad memories. Moss mumbles to himself that Campbell has lost his bloody mind.
Thomas, Arthur, and John are interviewing men. One man, Digbeth Kid, comes in and they make fun of him for naming himself after Billy the Kid and watching too many pictures. Digbeth has a wooden gun and a gun belt that his sister made for him out of an old blacksmith's apron. They decide that since he's the first man without a record that they've interviewed all day, they'll be hiring him on. He says that he can't write and they say that it's okay because Finn can't read.
Polly and her estranged son, Michael, catch up after about twelve years apart. Always the maternal figure, Polly finally has her biological son in her life.
Arthur and John burst in Polly's door playing at cowboys, still making fun of Digbeth Kid. Thomas introduces the boys to their cousin, Michael. Thomas welcomes him to the Shelby family.
Thomas and John meet with Corporal Billy Kitchen, who says that he's ready for active service. He's just come out of the hospital for a bullet wound. Thomas wants Billy to be the head of a brigade, and he'll have a hundred men under his command.
Later, Michael is heading over to the Garrison Pub to call his adoptive mother to let her know where he is, when Thomas intervenes and urges him to tell her he’s coming home. Michael wants to stay in Birmingham, and get to know Polly and his Blinder cousins better. Despite Polly’s dreams of respectability, Michael dreams of being a bad boy. Thomas replies, “Yup, you’re Polly’s son all right”.
