Good Morals

In the first episode of Top Boy Season 2, Emilio shoots Javi in the head, sending his body tumbling into the water – and to the depths of the sea below. ..

Jamie is found not guilty in court and returns home to a group of friends.

However, the truce is short-lived as Dushane extends an olive branch through Romy, Jaq and the boys - and an invitation to meet at 10am. To keep things civil, Jamie accepts the gift from Jaq and heads back inside to see Stef. ..

Jaq and the others are stopped by police who intend to search their car. When they give the officers some lip, they’re forced out the car but everything is legit. There’s nothing untoward going on here, with the vehicle registered under Ruben Miller’s name. He’s the one in charge of Prestige Hire Cars.

Jaq and the gang get back in their vehicle, the police leave, as Jaq contemplates what happened that night. ..

Shelley shows up to Dushane’s new apartment to see him trying to make a go of it and become a proper family. Dushane has a plan, wanting to step back on the road and go completely legit. That way he doesn’t have to look over his shoulder anymore or get mixed up in criminal affairs. ..

Emilio is in a tough spot. He’s been doing business with Jeffrey for a while now, but he’s decided that it’s not worth it anymore. He wants to see Lizzie himself, so he arranges for her to come out to Spain and meet him. ..

Emilio admits that he and his wife Sofia are ill. With six months at best left to live, he’s decided to skip out on serving as her ringleader and go to be with her. However, the Moroccan shipment is bigger than all of them and Lizzie pleads with Emilio to help. Without him serving as the ringleader, everything could go sour very quickly.

Emilio assures Lizzie that as long as they continue to pay Juan El Bueno, things will be okay. ..

Jamie is trying to catch up with Stef, who is a lot older than he was before. After dropping Stef off at school, Jamie heads out to meet Dushane, who gets the lowdown from Jaq on the night’s events.

Jamie immediately tells Dushane he has a link in Spain and Morocco and the promise of more money than they could dream of. Jamie wants to work just like before, but the allure of money is enough for Dushane to agree and decide to jump onto the project.

Dushane is having a tough time with his finances after making a lot of money. He goes over his expenses with Jeffrey, who tells him that he owes a lot of taxes, National Insurance and business costs. ..

Dushane has another idea for the Summerhouse redevelopment. If he were to get involved in this 1.4 billion project, it could help him funnel 6 or 7 million of his turnover – which is considerably more than the projected 3 million. ..

Dushane started out at Summerhouse, but now it feels like the end of an era. The redevelopment program means that Dushane’s people will have to leave. ..

Residents of a housing estate in England are unhappy when they find out they are being evicted, especially as they have been displaced across England. Each resident has been displaced to different parts of the country, from Croydon to Luton. They are angry and unwilling to move. ..

Atticus has gone missing and Amma (his mum) is frantically looking for him. ..

Lizzie visits Juan in Spain, but there’s a problem. The meeting goes completely awry as their contact, Antonio, is gunned down. Lizzie hastily rings Dushane to let him know, as everything starts to fall apart.

As the episode ends, Stef rings Atticus’ phone but is told he’s been found dead in the skip.

The Episode Review

And then there’s the new girl, Astrid. She’s fresh out of college and has no idea what she’s doing. She starts working at Top Boy and quickly realizes that things are not as they seem. Dushane is not as successful as he seems, and Astrid is quickly learning that she needs to be careful about what she says or does in order to keep her job.

Juan has been trying to get Emilio to back down from his plans to cut him out of the business, but it seems that Emilio is not about to give up easily. Juan is concerned that this situation will only get worse and he needs to find a way to resolve this before it gets too out of hand.

This means that Dushane and Jamie are likely to be the main characters this season, with Sully taking a backseat. This looks to be an exciting season as we see what happens with these three characters.
