What happens to Annie Cooper's Vron Stevenson in MobLand?
Vron Stevenson's affair with Freddie allowed Harry to blackmail the latter into letting him smuggle some weapons at the wake and funeral of Vron and Richie's son, Tommy Stevenson (Felix Edwards). Harry had to take this step to ensure the Harrigans' safety at the event if things went south.
Maeve (Helen Mirren) and Conrad Harrigan's (Pierce Brosnan) marriage was not in the best place. When Maeve discovered that Conrad was cheating on her, she was enraged and had no plans to let anyone sideline her in the Harrigan family's power dynamics.

Maeve Harrigan's anger reached a new level when Vron Stevenson insulted her at Tommy's funeral by asking her about her intimacy with Conrad. Kevin Harrigan, Maeve and Conrad's son, was aware of the consequences this could entail. So, he had drugged his mother to keep her from making any rash decisions.
However, Kevin Harrigan's plan was only partly successful. In her anger, Maeve ordered one of their henchmen, Paul, to plant a bomb in Vron Stevenson's car. The next morning, Vron left her house to get into her car and go shopping.
Unfortunately, the car explodes the moment Vron turns on the key. An aerial shot of the explosion was shown at the end of the MobLand episode 5. Vron Stevenson's death is certainly going to be a turning point for the show as a gang war between the Harrigans and Stevensons looks inevitable now.
MobLand is available to stream on Paramount+.
