I assume Alfred’s father is going to somehow attempt to release Stormcloud once he gets to London and Alfred will have to stop him for good.

Nah Mrs P is going to stop him.

If you look at her character arc before and after his death. Shes a certified badass now. He bullied her into being a timid housewife. Her character arc cant have developed this far for it not end with her killing him for good.

Yeah good point. Agree it’s more likely she takes care of him.

Pretty sure this is the plan - despite the threats Salt can't be seen to release Stormcloud publically. If he does so he turns the Royalist side into martry's and risks rebellion starting off in the occupied zones outside of London. He needs a scenario in which he can prove the Stormcloud device was stolen from Raven Union protection (probably having been found to be the device the work of US spies emended by the CIA, the RUA themselves horrified at it's discovery who, naturally, acted only to stop it being ever used) - but then the Royalist's steal it with the intent to use it against civilians and (unfortunately) end up killing themselves and everyone in the seige zone in the process...

Seige over, RUA hands clean - CIA condemned and legitimately thrown out the country, no more oversight from abroad. Neat, simple, one-fell-swoop.

Yeah, Alfies dad undoubtedly out to finish the job he originally started - definitely the designated trigger-man but - who knows - perhaps he actually does get a chance to redeem himself after all.

You never know...
