Top Boy season 3, episode 6 recap, explanation: Press Gang

Top Boy moves into the second half of technically its third season with episode six: Press Gang. Show Snob is here to provide an explanation and a recap.

At the start of Top Boy season three, episode six some Summerhouse runners and dealers are attacked by the ZT gang: one, Romy, is injured from a stab wound to the chest; as well as a “younger” having acid thrown on his face.

Dushane believes it is a warning from Jamie et all; while Sully says that the ZTs have effectively declared war. They decide to respond but diligently. The duo then meets Haze, who gives them 20 kilos of hard drugs to sell.

Although Dushane doesn’t want that much, Haze insists because Dushane told his boss, Sugar, that they are significant in London. Sugar is forcing deals on to the pair – with only a month to repay consignment ‘or else’. Sully now suggests “dealing” with Jamie as paramount; in other words killing or removing the latter from the street.
