#what do you mean they’ve picked up ten million pounds worth of social housing construction contracts for the government

Everything that happens to Tommy between attending Mosley’s party and Lizzie and Charles leaving him all takes place in 14 days.

Including daughter’s death and funeral, three murders, two situations where he is forced to physically perform, his own terminal diagnosis, discovering an illegitimate son, trying to introduce that illegitimate son to his current family, at least one seizure, bareback riding for an unknown but very long distance for the first time in years (can we talk about physical pain in all this emotional pain?), desecrating a grave, coercing Gina into being his spy in Berlin, hearing many things he doesn’t particularly enjoy from the fascists, trying to resolve his brother’s opium addiction, confessing love and regret to his wife only to receive back her anger and despair at his inadequacy of communication, having fascists tell his wife of his infidelity mere days after his daughter’s funeral and his confession of love and regret, and having his wife leave him (not unexpected perhaps) but then also his son.

Two weeks! And that’s without even unpacking what deals and connections were happening with the fascists, ira and American underworld, which included quite a lot of weapons dealing commitments for the ira too from memory…
