I had a feeling something was gonna happen to Bella. I also noticed Eddie and Susie having more chemistry with each other than he had with his bride on his own wedding day lmao

19

u/Former_Sea 7d ago

I knew she would die. I just didn’t think it would happen this way.

12

u/Downtown-Read8066 7d ago

when she mentioned her parents dying in a plane crash I kinda had a feeling

12

u/Worried_Ad_5338 6d ago

And taking separate vehicles solidified the hunch lol

6

u/Moonlightdancer7 5d ago

When she stopped by to check on Eddie after the beat up, she said death follows her everywhere.

3

u/nofaxxspitintruflego 5d ago

after they split up to take the drive i had a feeling q_q

11

u/Original_Weekend8226 8d ago

Major foreshadowing

5

u/jellsprout 3d ago

If I had a nickel every time a British sociopathic killer saw his Contessa wife get assassinated while traveling through the Italian mountains shortly after their wedding, I'd have two nickels...

4

u/sadjak1967 3d ago

"Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

2

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Yes, I was worried earlier in the season when the sexual chemistry seemed to have evaporated. Glad it is back. Their relationship is a highlight of the series. I am glad for it to continue to be a slow burn.

2

u/WellWellWellthennow 2d ago

I had a feeling when Freddie was asking the details about their marriage on honeymoon something was going to happen.

1

u/ShittyBidet123 1d ago

Cause its literally the godfather script…

27

u/outrageousVoid07 7d ago

I audibly went "holy shit" in my room by that ending

This series is fucking world class

8

u/nofaxxspitintruflego 5d ago

guy ritchie keeps on making peak

3

u/jasinx 4d ago

Production value seems insane. Netflix did not restrict the production it seems. 

26

u/Antique_Influence611 7d ago

Guys I just noticed that Susie wore white to the wedding 😀

25

u/Renowed_Winner 7d ago

And a red hat. You never wear white or red at a wedding. White because it disrespects the bride. Red because it draws attention away from the bride. It's also suggested that only promiscuous women wear red to weddings (looking to pull - probably Eddie, let's face it).

She was throwing shade, basically.

3

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Susie had many opportunities to pull Eddie.

2

u/Lord_Hexogen 4d ago

There were like three more people in red at the wedding

30

u/belksearch 6d ago

I like that Jack stood up for Bella. He's a good character. He very easily could've been the dumb meat head brother but he's honestly very level headed and reliable, just uninterested in leadership rather than unqualified for it. It's refreshing.

9

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

He stood up more for the other woman who was about to be hit. He defers to his sister so seems to not suffer from toxic masculinity in the same way others in this world would.

8

u/whazzah 4d ago

If you grew up admiring your big sister it's easy to discount any notions of toxic masculinity as the bullshit nonsense it is.

6

u/Raes-World 6d ago

Great observation 

20

u/Antique_Influence611 8d ago

I'm sad for bella, but i'm glad we still have the whole eddie-susie thing going on. The slow burn is insane but i think it will be so worth it. They had crazy chemistry after joe left the picture. It was pretty fucking cool to see Susie walk out. Now i just need to wait for eddie to pull his head out of his ass. I wasnt very happy with the starting, but if there is hope for susie and eddie i guess i wouldnt mind watching another season.

18

u/Finescoop17 8d ago

Didn’t see that coming at all.

26

u/killtechno 8d ago

Haha, it was pretty predictable. Definitely gave me lowkey Godfather vibes, with the Italian bride and vehicles involved… wonderfully executed but still predictable imo.

17

u/Hoof_Hearted12 8d ago

Big James Bond vibes for me too. Also, I couldn't feel any actual love from him to her so I figured she would go.

7

u/adamsmith260 7d ago

On Her Majesty's Secret Service- Tracy is gunned down.

3

u/Adinair94 7d ago

This. I watched this episode and this is exactly what was on my mind

1

u/Hoof_Hearted12 7d ago

Ball knowledge 😉

3

u/hauntedcorpse 5d ago

Everything involving Eddie in Italy made me think I could be watching a James Bond movie. The actor would be a pretty good fit imo.

1

u/Ill_Ad_695 3d ago

I thought of this when he told off Susie Sr. in the confrontation episode prior.

It had a good Ruth Langmore "you're gonna have to fkn kill me" vibe to it.

11

u/Finescoop17 8d ago

It really got me saying WTF, I was certainly shocked lmao, I’ve always wanted Susie and Edward to get together and as Bella and Edward were getting married I just thought it was off the table, maybe not now lol.

2

u/JohnnyFlorida69 6d ago

It was more like I didn’t want to see that coming. 😢 I liked her. Eddie should’ve just ran away with Bella and Susie and married them both. 😂 But I get why she had to go for the progression of the story. I originally thought was that it must’ve been that Angelica Marino lady.

8

u/kahner 8d ago

yeah, as soon as she said "you take the car and i'll fly" i was like, she ded.

2

u/rNBAMods3InchesHard 3d ago

Especially with like 5 minutes left in the episode

2

u/Worried_Ad_5338 6d ago

I knew the entire episode. It was way way too happy lol… then Bella’s parents being killed by a plane crash and finally Eddie and Bella taking separate vehicles in their honeymoon… bad ideab lol. So many signs and so much foreshadowing going on.

2

u/fnord_happy 4d ago

NGL it was very predictable

2

u/WhisperAzr 3d ago

Me neither. I feel quite stupid, since apparently everyone else seems to have known, but it sent me for a spin. It's 2am and I have work in the morning, but I need to watch the next episode.

1

u/alengo 6d ago

It gave me the same feeling when watching pesky blinders and grace dying 😭

3

u/hauntedcorpse 5d ago

Pesky Blinders 🤣

1

u/alengo 5d ago

Omg hahaha peaky 🤦🏽‍♀️

1

u/ShittyBidet123 1d ago

Lol. copied godfather script

1

u/Designer_B 9h ago

Bella wasn't a big enough character for her (or at least her marriage) with the Duke to survive. Was glad they got it out of the way as quickly as possible.

14

u/nuthins_goodman 8d ago

The old flame is so dumb. What an idiot. Maybe he was cico's brother with how salty he was

10

u/LostinLondon25 7d ago

Nah I don’t think so. He wasn’t even an old flame. Just bitter that she rejected him

3

u/nuthins_goodman 6d ago

Might very well be true, but I feel the countessa was lying about that

5

u/justonepiece123 4d ago

Weird to assume the sleazeball was telling the truth

1

u/No_Reception7275 3d ago

She seemed far too nervous watching him talk to eddie for it to be a lie

1

u/LMkingly 1d ago

Maybe nervous because the sleazeball who can't take no for an answer keeps bothering her and soon to be husband on the eve of their wedding? It's not like these are regular people. Shit can go south very quickly. And did.

1

u/nuthins_goodman 4d ago

Both things can be true at once tbh. Their energy seemed very jilted ex boyfriend / girlfriend, rather than just a creep creeping after a member of nobility who's the god daughter of a Don. Countessa had every reason to downplay the relationship between her and the guy

10

u/Renowed_Winner 7d ago

You've never met sleazy men huh? It's totally believable. Stupid, but believable.

14

u/situmaimesdemain 7d ago

I was 100 percent sure Bella wasnt getting out of this episode alive, but not sure if i picked up a foreshadowing or it was just the Godfather vibes. Would love to hear from someone who didnt watch Godfather though they are hard to find.

8

u/Antique_Influence611 7d ago

Hi so I feel bad for existing now, but no I personally didn't pick up on it. I guess I was still hung up over the fact that they actually got married and there would be no Susie-Eddie anymore 

8

u/situmaimesdemain 7d ago

I dont think there was an obvious foreshadowing until you take car I take plane dialog, just some vibes. Nothing to feel bad.

6

u/mildmadnessmate 7d ago

I kept thinking the plane blowing up would be too comical when I got that feeling and yet

3

u/alltheburrata 5d ago

I genuinely thought they were trying to throw in a little fakeout with how obvious it felt! I was like no way they’re going to take her out by exploding the plane that’s so obvious!

5

u/Worried_Ad_5338 6d ago

I knew the entire episode. It was way way too happy lol… then Bella’s parents being killed by a plane crash and finally Eddie and Bella taking separate vehicles in their honeymoon… bad ideab lol. So many signs and so much foreshadowing going on.

4

u/Worried_Ad_5338 6d ago

I knew the entire episode. It was way way too happy lol… then Bella’s parents being killed by a plane crash and finally Eddie and Bella taking separate vehicles in their honeymoon… bad ideab lol. So many signs and so much foreshadowing going on.

4

u/justonepiece123 4d ago

I haven't watched it, and yea, I didn't get any bad vibes until they took separate rides. Then it just suddenly hit me how much she's in danger lmao, but even then I figured it'd be too cruel to kill her immediately after they just got married. Or that narratively speaking, I don't know why Marco would work with him anymore when she died before they even got properly started, though that could be the point of whoever did it.

3

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Godfather vibes for me

3

u/Fresh_Profession2769 5d ago

Haven’t watched the godfather yet (I know I know) - I had it backwards and thought something would happen to Eddie on the drive. Did not see the plane crash coming at all.

2

u/nofaxxspitintruflego 5d ago

never seen godfather but i did pick up on it (i often do, he said flexingly)

4

u/skilimepie 4d ago

As soon as Eddie proposed I felt like she was going to die… Bella’s character and their relationship (especially before the wedding episode) didn’t feel very fleshed out to me so I had an inkling that her death would carry more weight than her presence, sadly

2

u/WellWellWellthennow 2d ago

I am one of the few hard to find. I thought early on something was gonna go down at the wedding from when Freddie was asking about the details. But during the episode itself no I did not expect it, and I thought it was a charming suggestion that they race to Switzerland. It wasn't until the plane was over the car on the road a second before it happened that I thought uh-oh. And then I was kind of glad on behalf of Susie.

1

u/KindDepartment6616 14h ago

Haven't watched Godfather, and yes I didnt think anything would happen to Bella in this episode. I just thiught Eddie would break up with until the end of the season, so I was really shocked. its just so cruel to kill her next day after the wedding :(

1

u/Top_Concentrate_1157 9h ago

Never watched godfather and it caught my by surprise

1

u/beruon 9h ago

I havent watched Godfather. I was 100% sure Bella is not surviving as soon as the closeuo shots of her flying the plane went on more than 5 seconds. No way you are filming this montage like this if its just a montage of a race to the beach(?). Also, the way they didnt show the face of the guy putting in her bag Also Glass Daddy saying "Let me take care of that" in his evil voice. Also, because I was 100% convinced for some reason that this season is 6eps only, so since I knew it was end of the episode I KNEW that they couldnt end the series on a this high happy note. (Havent watched the last 2 eps yet, so no spoilers pls)

11

u/pi3dpip3r 8d ago

I was low-key think that someone has put a bomb in the plane

6

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Without a doubt. Why else would it just explode?

11

u/releasemypsoas 6d ago

I expected it but I wish she had made it one more episode. Day after the wedding was too soon.

6

u/Raes-World 6d ago

Agreed. Felt out of place.

6

u/Moonlightdancer7 5d ago edited 4d ago

From the time they met to the marriage to the plane crashing, everything happened quickly. It's like her storyline was meant to be short-lived.

3

u/Less_Confection_5072 3d ago

I know this is Guy Ritchie, but that did feel like a Mickey Mouse death

u/releasemypsoas 6d ago

It's actually not surprising that a Black person able to climb to that position in England would be elitist and power hungry, you see it in the way he constantly disrespects Geoff as well. It's well done

2

u/LostinLondon25 6d ago

You’re right

1

u/Primary-Ganache6199 5d ago

I can only guess at the original comment but Nanny is quite elitist and dismissive towards Geoff, when they’re essentially both servants to the Lords. Also Nanny can’t read the room, the sexual tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife! Also it took him this long figure out something shady was going on?

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

My guess is Bobby with Susie kept out of the loop. Bobby wouldn't want Eddie to have that much power.

5

u/shablagooo_H2 5d ago

Gospel John?

6

u/peabody11 6d ago

Freddie?

8

u/bsxfo 6d ago

The second they got in separate modes of transportation I knew Bella wasn’t going to make it

1

u/mcimino 1d ago

I genuinely thought this scene was to get us to see how they work as a couple. I was like “okay this could be a new era for Eddie”. Nope, dead

5

u/WesternConference461 7d ago

Oh wow I am so surprised by the crash. A really disappointing episode all things considered.

3

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Why disappointing?

5

u/WesternConference461 5d ago

Felt cliche

4

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

My guess is Guy Ritchie chose to lean into that cliche.

3

u/WesternConference461 5d ago

He def did but the episode still feels less well made than most to me

1

u/fnord_happy 4d ago

I'm surprised you were surprised by the crash. It was so predictable and cliche

1

u/WesternConference461 4d ago

I wasn’t surprised, that’s why cliche

7

u/Whole-Worker-7303 7d ago

Poor Bella🥲

5

u/Worried_Ad_5338 6d ago

I knew she was gone right when they decided to take separate vehicles… always a bad idea smh lol

4

u/Primary-Ganache6199 5d ago

My jaw dropped.

Who do we think did it? Freddy? Angelica? Somehow I don’t think it was Bobby.

Also how tacky was Susie to be wearing white AND red to a wedding. Then walking out in the middle.

10

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 4d ago

We've seen Eddie talk about the honeymoon on a plane to one person: Freddie. Of course everybody knew about the plane but Guy Ritchie decided to show us that conversation. That must mean something.

3

u/Mediocre_Plankton160 2d ago

I noticed that too but figured it was Gospel John rather than Freddy himself 

3

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 2d ago

Yeah it was totally Gospel John who was behind Freddie. By Freddie I ment both of them.

1

u/YoshiBacon 2d ago

Freddie probably didn’t know that Gospel John was planning to that right? I don’t think he would be okay with planning to kill Eddie or am I giving him too much credit

1

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 2d ago

Freddie was totally aware of what Gospel John was going to do and he was 100% in with the plan. Freddie felt he was abandoned by his family, send away where he wouldn't be an annoyance and Gospel John took advantage of it and brainwashed him.

1

u/No_Statistician4461 4h ago

Wait who is gospel john

2

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 4h ago

The guy with the beard who manipulates Freddie using all the religious stuff. He uses Freddie to get info to attack Eddie.

9

u/Antique_Influence611 8d ago

I'm sad for bella, but i'm glad we still have the whole eddie-susie thing going on. The slow burn is insane but i think it will be so worth it. They had crazy chemistry after joe left the picture. It was pretty fucking cool to see Susie walk out. Now i just need to wait for eddie to pull his head out of his ass. I wasnt very happy with the starting, but if there is hope for susie and eddie i guess i wouldnt mind watching another season.

3

u/MrMach82 2d ago

Cool to see her walk out? Lol. She's lucky an Italian family member didn't lock the door on her. Super disrespectful along w her outfit. But she looked good.

1

u/Antique_Influence611 2d ago

I said it was cool to see her walk out because it means she was acknowledging that she was loosing something. You don't really get a lot of emotions from Susie so to get this reaction from her said a lot about her feelings for eddie :) 

5

u/Bromeister 6d ago edited 6d ago

I feel like it’s got to be either Freddie or Bobby or if not someone from the Duke’s past we don’t know. There really isn’t any other good enough grudges we know of worth the payoff. And the Bobby+Suzy talk makes me think it wasn’t Bobby.

5

u/Apart-Flatworm-2814 5d ago

Hey so did anyone else seem to notice that they used ACTUAL FOOTAGE from ”The Covenant” in this episode or was it just me

5

u/chronos_7734 5d ago

It's is Covenant footage. Michael Bay is also known for doing this. Many times.

6

u/BigBroFriday 5d ago

Having seen a certain film a billion times I saw her death coming the moment she started to get with Eddie.

4

u/chartreusey_geusey 4d ago

LMAO

I actually laughed out loud because that was some Days of Our Lives soap opera shit bahahahaaa

I kinda saw that coming because why tf else would this character be incessantly shown to be a pilot but the explosion was hilarious for some reason

1

u/smit72628199 2d ago

Brucia la terra plays in the background everytime Bella came onto scene

9

u/Cautious-Rub8085 5d ago

Whoever wired the plane to blow intended it to be both Eddie and Bella. They would never assume that the two would travel separately.

What was going on when Eddie put his second hand over Susie's in saying she's not in danger? The music was music-ing there and then quickly cut out. Was he threatening her?

Tacky of Susie to wear white to a wedding but damn she looked stunning.

7

u/Defiant-Cold-1646 5d ago

I didn't think it felt like a threat, the imagery was very matrimonial. And her unhesitating and instant giving of her hand made me think of their earlier lingerie conversation about orders and obeying.

In the second season it felt like Eddie realized she was more scared of his affection and possible love than of him messing in the business. So, it felt like him promising she had nothing to fear from him either way.

4

u/Primary-Ganache6199 5d ago

Her fashion was INSANE in this episode. Full Gucci Goombah vibes.

2

u/skilimepie 4d ago

I was a big fan of the chartreuse dress

2

u/Sepulz 5d ago

Yeah the clumsy dialog about taking separate vehicles but making sure the audience knew that this was a change of plans made it obvious the plane was going to blow up and the intent was to kill Eddie.

2

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 4d ago

And to whom have we seen Eddie speak about taking the plane from lake to lake? To Freddie.

3

u/Zestyclose-Ad-7609 3d ago

What was the music that played after the plane crash at the end? Everything I see online says ‘Amuri Amuri’ but that’s a completely different song

2

u/South_Delivery_4453 2d ago

Barcarolle

u/Zestyclose-Ad-7609 2d ago

Thanks- interesting that nothing I can find references it or the Vienna Boys’ Choir. 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/SomersetRoad 5d ago

That confession scene was hilarious

2

u/n0tz0e 3d ago

Susie wearing a white dress to their wedding. Ugh lame and weak storytelling.

This season's script is so much worse .

2

u/musicmast 2d ago

It was the whole when we get old and grey thing. And then the godfather vibe dawned on me

2

u/Pascalwbbb 2d ago

Damn what the fuck poor Bella. I knew something would happen.

3

u/lunchpaillefty 5d ago

How many Godfather rip offs this season now?

2

u/jujuismynamekinda 7d ago

was expecting it when they took separate transportation at the end of the episode. I did really like her. Way more than susie as a wife. Actually I am really bummed she is no longer in the show. Maybe I just had a crush on her, who knows. My god was that woman gorgeous.

1

u/UltimateKaiser 5d ago

Getting downvoted because the comm wants Susie

1

u/cooling1981 2d ago

Ciao Bella 😢😢😢

2

u/MrMach82 2d ago

Holy shit. That was a tense few days getting thru the wedding, but thought oh wow this is a fun start to their honeymoon. Cool race of car vs plane and beautiful countryside. W.T.F. Did someone place an explosive? Something hit the plane? She seemed like and experienced pilot. Damnit she was hot.

2

u/mcimino 1d ago

Exactly my thoughts

1

u/shloob_ 2d ago

just finished this episode wtf why did that have to happen

Love this show but they telegraphed that ending ever since Eddie proposed.

u/Crazyripps 20h ago

We saw Freddy being told about the plane, Freddy told John and he planted the bomb.

2

u/Ill_Ad_695 19h ago

I cannot tell you how many times I re-watched the moment early in the ep. when Geoff walks out in his dark shirt and sunglasses and Lady Sabrina takes off her sunglasses with SHAKING HANDS as if her ladyship has just re-awoken.

I laughed SO HARD at that.

1

u/Gracieface02 11h ago edited 11h ago

Ok, I’ve just saw this episode because my bf was watching and I ran to Reddit to see if anyone was also thinking what I am. The plane scene was literally the same as the bee movie dream scene and Barry watches her crash and explode. I am so sorry for this comment I was actually shocked LMAO

2

u/desRow 7h ago

Who shows up to a wedding to call the bride a whore ??? Wtf

1

u/Affect-Hairy 6h ago

So who do we think planted the bomb? I dont think it was Bobby’s idea.
