Warning: Major spoilers ahead for episode 9 of MobLand
Eddie’s narcissism wasn’t enough to scare away Gina Da Souza, Harry’s teenage daughter, who found herself trapped in the Harrigans’ manor when the war between the two families properly kicked off.
In her fear and frustration at essentially being forced into captivity, she found solace in Eddie’s arms despite seeing through his comically inept attempts at appearing sensitive to entice her.
However, in episode 9 of MobLand, Maeve makes it clear that she wants Gina nowhere near her beloved grandson, and in doing so calls into question the nature of her own relationship with the boy.

Maeve Warning Gina Away From Eddie Is About Status – And Harry
Maeve Doesn’t Believe Gina Is Worthy Of Her Grandson

Maeve’s misplaced sense of pride is seemingly at the core of her desire to keep Gina away from Eddie. The Harrigan matriarch has the sort of old-school, royalty/nobility mindset that makes her think Eddie deserves someone worthy of his upbringing (which again, Maeve has aggrandized in her head). As the daughter of one of the Harrigans’ employees, she is not a fit consort for Eddie.
On top of that, Maeve doesn’t trust Harry Da Souza one iota, so there’s no reason why she would allow his daughter to cozy up to her grandson (who knows all of her secrets).
Maeve has already planted seeds with Conrad that Harry is a betrayer to throw Conrad off her scent, so it makes sense that she wouldn’t want Gina getting any closer to the Harrigans’ inner circle than Harry already is. Both Harry and Gina are smart and perceptive, on top of everything else, marking them as two people the treacherous Maeve would want at arm’s length.
There’s Probably More To Maeve & Eddie’s Relationship That We Don’t Know
Something Has Seemed Off Since The Beginning Of MobLand

However, there could be a deeper reason why Maeve wants to keep Gina away from Eddie. Ever since Maeve pulled cocaine out of her bra to share with her grandson, the energy between the two has felt strange, particularly given the reveal that Maeve has been behind Eddie’s maneuvering. T
hen, at dinner at the end of episode 9, there was a particularly awkward moment in which Maeve put her hand on Eddie’s leg while offering advice to Alice about how to handle men.
Why Did Eddie Tell Conrad About Maeve?
His Fear Likely Outweighs His Loyalty

Episode 9 opens with Conrad confronting Eddie in his room just as he’s waking up. The conversation that they have occurs off-screen, but at the aforementioned dinner it’s revealed that Eddie confirmed everything that Maeve had been scheming to his grandfather, who had many of his own suspicions to begin with.
Maeve has seemingly looked out for Eddie at every turn, so at first glance it seems strange that he would give up his biggest advocate just because Conrad twisted his arm a bit.
MobLand Episode 9 Doesn’t Rule Out Eddie Being Conrad’s Son
In Fact, It Might Strengthen The Case For It
When Conrad first appears in Eddie’s bedroom, he addresses the young man as “son”, which could certainly just be a friendly/grandfatherly colloquialism. However, it could actually be a brief clue about Eddie’s true identity, which is that he’s actually Conrad’s son with Bella Harrigan.
The audience knows that Conrad was involved with Bella before she married Kevin, when she was just 20 and Conrad was older than 50. Eddie certainly shares more in common with Conrad personality-wise than his presumed father, Kevin, which further strengthens the notion.
On top of that, episode 9 saw Kevin react with rage when his former prison guard Alan Rusby brought up Kevin’s child. That marks the second instance in which Kevin has flown off the handle, the first of which occurred when Maeve mentioned Kevin’s “other brother” in episode 8.
The prevailing theory is that Eddie Harrigan is not Kevin’s son but Conrad’s, and therefore would be the “other brother” that Maeve mentions could inherit the Harrigan empire.
It seems more likely that Eddie isn’t actually the beloved grandson that Maeve wants him to seem like. In reality, Maeve may be playing a long con, knowing that Eddie being treated as the legitimate son of Bella and Kevin made him more protected.
It’s clear that Eddie is supposed to be the future of the family as a white male, so Maeve may actually be angling towards his downfall in MobLand as opposed to protecting and propping him up.
