Do Eddie and Susie Get Together in The Gentlemen Season 2?

No, Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass do not officially become a romantic couple in The Gentlemen Season 2. Their attraction remains part of the show, and the finale arguably leaves them emotionally closer than they have been for much of the season, but there is no kiss, love confession or scene confirming that they are together. Season 2 actually gives both characters other romantic relationships: Susie reconnects with Joe Green, while Eddie falls for Bella and marries her. After Bella’s death, Susie returns to Eddie’s side and promises they will find the people responsible together, reinforcing their bond without turning it into a romance.

Are Eddie and Susie in Love?

The series never formally labels Eddie and Susie as being in love romantically, but the people making the show have been unusually open about the affection between them. Theo James previously described the pair as having grown to love each other in their own way while also arguing that they may never fully trust one another. That distinction remains important throughout Season 2.

Lead writer Matthew Read similarly described their connection as something that survives despite the obstacles deliberately placed between them. Kaya Scodelario has characterized their attraction as a mixture of closeness and danger, which is a good description of why they work so well without becoming a conventional couple.

Season 2 does not contradict those comments. Eddie and Susie care about each other deeply, notice one another’s romantic lives and repeatedly return to each other when their business or families begin falling apart. What the season refuses to do is convert that attachment into an uncomplicated romantic relationship.

Why Does Season 2 Give Them Other Love Interests?

Joe and Bella make it clear that neither Eddie nor Susie spends Season 2 simply waiting for the other person to make a move. Susie reconnects with Joe Green, someone she has known since she was young and with whom she already shares romantic history. Their renewed relationship becomes serious enough that Susie describes it as being in its early stages before Joe’s criminal deception destroys her trust.

Eddie’s relationship with Bella goes considerably further. Their attraction develops during his Italian expansion, and he eventually marries her. Bella is therefore not a temporary flirtation inserted solely to make Susie jealous. By the time Bella dies, Eddie has genuinely incorporated her into the future he is building.

Those parallel relationships also reveal something about Eddie and Susie’s bond. Both can pursue romance elsewhere without severing the partnership between them. Whatever exists between Eddie and Susie operates in a less easily defined space where business, loyalty, attraction and mutual fascination continuously overlap.

Does Susie Get Jealous of Bella?

Season 2 does not give Susie a straightforward jealousy storyline in which she openly admits she wants Eddie for herself. Reading every reaction she has to Bella as romantic jealousy would go further than the episodes actually support. Susie’s concerns about Eddie are repeatedly tied to his changing judgment, ambition and willingness to behave unpredictably.

That does not mean the attraction has disappeared. Netflix’s own pre-release material describes Eddie and Susie’s bond as one of the season’s central complications, while Scodelario specifically acknowledges attraction between the characters. The show simply keeps that tension underneath the surface instead of turning Bella into the third point of a conventional love triangle.

This approach fits Susie particularly well. She rarely separates personal emotion cleanly from business assessment. Eddie matters to her both as a person and as someone whose decisions can affect her family’s empire.

What Changes Between Eddie and Susie After Bella Dies?

Bella’s death brings Eddie and Susie back into particularly close alignment. Eddie initially suspects Bobby Glass of being responsible for the attack and is prepared to retaliate, but Susie comes directly to him and explains why her father could not have ordered it. Bobby has purchased Eddie’s £100 million debt, giving him an enormous financial reason to keep Eddie alive.

More importantly, Susie recognizes that Eddie is acting from grief rather than his usual calculation. She warns him that pain is affecting his judgment and tries to stop him from throwing himself into another reckless revenge plan. Eddie does not welcome the intervention at first, but Susie stays.

Their conversation ends with one of the season’s clearest statements about their relationship. Susie promises that they will find the people responsible for Bella’s death together. It is intimate and loyal, but it still is not a romantic declaration.

What Does Together Mean in the Finale?

Together means that Eddie and Susie remain partners when Eddie’s other relationships and alliances are collapsing around him. Susie does not abandon him because he married Bella, and Eddie does not shut Susie out permanently despite the increasingly complicated struggle involving Bobby. When the truth about Freddy and Gospel John emerges, Susie is part of the operation that helps Eddie reach John.

The word also carries more emotional weight than a normal business agreement because Eddie has just lost his wife. Susie is not simply discussing logistics. She is telling him that he will not have to pursue the people responsible alone.

Still, the scene should not be turned into evidence that they secretly become a couple off screen. Nothing in Episode 8 confirms that. Their closeness is real, but the romantic status remains deliberately unresolved.

Where Do Eddie and Susie Stand at the End of Season 2?

Eddie and Susie finish Season 2 as extremely close allies with a recognized attraction, but not as boyfriend and girlfriend. Their relationship has survived Eddie’s growing ambition, Susie’s doubts about his volatility, Joe’s return, Eddie’s marriage to Bella and a violent power struggle involving their families. Few relationships in the show endure that much pressure.

That resilience is probably why their scenes continue to carry romantic tension even without a payoff. Read has said that the obstacles were intended to deepen their connection rather than eliminate it, while Scodelario sees danger itself as part of their attraction. Season 2 follows that idea almost exactly.

So viewers waiting for an Eddie and Susie kiss will not find one in the finale. What they do get is something more consistent with The Gentlemen’s approach to the pair: Eddie loses the woman he married, Susie’s relationship with Joe collapses, and when the criminal world closes in again, the two people standing beside one another are Eddie and Susie. Whether that bond ever becomes explicitly romantic remains unresolved, but Season 2 certainly does not close the possibility.
