Season 6 of Peaky Blinders saw Lizzie finally leaving Tommy after the death of their daughter Ruby (Heaven-Leigh Clee) proved too much. Tommy was nowhere to be found as Ruby lay dying in hospital from consumption.
The gangster was off trying to lift a curse he believed had been put on Ruby after Tommy had given away a cursed sapphire, which was believed to be responsible for the deaths of Grace Shelby (Annabelle Wallis) and another child.
When Tommy returned to Birmingham, he believed he’d managed to lift the curse, but Ruby was already dead. A devastated Lizzie wondered where her husband had been.

To make matters worse, Lizzie was also heartbroken after Tommy slept with Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson). The move saw Tommy trying to win the trust of fascist MP Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), but it meant infidelity on his part.
In her parting words, Lizzie said: “You are cursed Tommy. Never to understand the limits that other people will accept.
“Never to be allowed in where everybody else is. Cursed never to be lifted.”
When Tommy said he would be gone for a while, Lizzie showed him her hands empty of wedding rings and said she was “already packed”.
She told him so just wanted to “say goodbye to Ruby”, before she finally left him forever.
Lizzie couldn’t take son Charles Shelby either and told the boy that Tommy wouldn’t allow it. In the movie, it’s revealed that Charles is fighting on the frontline in North Africa.
