The team prepares to hit the Aryans and as prepared as they were, it wasn’t looking good for them. Robert sees this and takes the opportunity to take matters into his own hands (while still recovering from his injuries I should add) and he blows the Aryans up. Holy smokes (no pun intended) that was intense to watch; Robert gets the job done, but Mike wasn’t impressed. This isn’t how he wanted it to go down, but Robert sees it as a win/win.
After all that goes down, Evelyn calls Mike for a meeting and it isn’t a friendly one. She tells him she is not here for the games and if his name comes up in any investigation, she will not hesitate to arrest him. You’d think something like that would shake Mike up, but no. He deflects the entire time and makes a joke of it. Again, does this man not know fear?
Let’s move on to a happier note – Tracy’s water broke, the baby is coming! And Kyle, like most men new to this, is scared out of his mind (he didn’t even know where the hospital bag was). Admittedly, I laughed at this scene because Kyle was all over the place and I thoroughly enjoyed how he went through all the emotions before his talk with Mike calmed him down. Mike tells him something their mom once said: “Parenting is scary as f*ck”. They both shared a laugh with this one.
Tatiana has gotten herself into some hot waters with Konstantin it seems. I mean, was Tatiana even thinking of the baby? I could tell something was up with her, but the way she tried to convince Konstantin to trust her and that she was “loyal” to him was a major failure and well, we see how that ended.
Mike and Bunny are having a chat reflecting about life over some beers when he gets the call that he’s an uncle now (yay!). When Mike leaves, though, we find out Bunny has a connection with the new guard, Kevin. What’s interesting to me about this conversation is that when Bunny asks Kevin how he felt after witnessing an inmate’s death, he told Bunny he felt nothing. Really, Kevin? That’s odd because you tried to save him. Do we have a crooked guard with a conscience on our hands?
The episode ends with Merle Callahan arriving at Kingston Penitentiary and…that can’t mean anything good. Could this have to do with the letter he received?
A lot went down in this episode and it’s only the beginning of the season. I want to hear from you – what were your thoughts on the Season 3 premiere of Mayor of Kingston? Share in the comment section below OR let’s chat about it on Twitter/X – @chenfordhugs.
