MobLand‘s explosive Episode 9 sees Conrad Harrigan finally corner Maeve about her devastating leaks. Conrad’s wife has been feeding crucial intel to outsiders—from Archie’s burial site to Seraphina and Brandon’s Antwerp operation.
To the viewers’ surprise, she has been systematically dismantling the Irish crime family from within. Behind the Harrigan matriarch’s miscalculated sabotage, a deeper agenda lies. It seems like she wants to strip Conrad of power while positioning herself as the family’s true puppet master.
Why Maeve told the police about Archie’s dead body’s location in MobLand
In MobLand Episode 9, viewers finally get to know that it was Maeve who leaked information about Archie’s body to the police. She also struck a “deal” with Richie and disclosed Brendan and Seraphina’s Antwerp trip.
In both cases, Maeve’s leak has led to disasters. Her deal with Richie backfired, and police found some substantial evidence to build a solid case against the Harrigan family members. However, the question lies in Maeve’s grand motive. What could Maeve possibly gain by bringing doom to Harrigan’s doorstep?
Turns out, Maeve’s main agenda has been undermining her husband’s current power and bringing the true “Irish” gang leader persona out of him. In episode 4, Maeve and Eddie’s candid conversation sheds light on her true motive.
While assuring Eddie that killing Tommy Stevenson was correct, Maeve revealed her frustrations with Conrad. She shared with Eddie how much she despises Conrad becoming “a British gentleman” who wants to check his “portfolio” rather than an Irish gangster who wants to lead a war.
In the end, Maeve’s grand plans have led to the crumbling status of the Harrigan family, proving that she does not really know what calculated risk means. Fans discussed Maeve’s antagonistic nature, which could be the actual reason for Harrigan’s downfall and not an outside party like Richie Stevenson.
A fan noted on Reddit, “She stirs up trouble as well as fans the flames. She convinced Conrad to kill Archie, who was their ticket to the fire. After that, she convinced Eddie to kill Richie’s son, starting an unnecessary war. Just when it died down, she killed Vron, reigniting it. Finally, she caused her son’s death for no good reason. Well, Brendan deserved it. Luckily, he died and not Seraphina.”
In the latest episode, Maeve and Conrad have been arrested. Viewers are curious to see if Conrad’s wife chose to deliver her ultimate sabotage and provide incriminating evidence to the police against Conrad in MobLand’s season one finale.
